NSW approves largest coalmine in state history
Original: The green light for the largest coalmine in NSW history is shocking proof that our governance systems are betraying Aust
New South Wales' Independent Planning Commission has approved what is being called the largest coalmine in the state's history, in the Hunter Valley. Writing in Guardian Australia, Lock the Gate campaigner Georgina Woods calls the decision shocking proof that Australia's governance systems are betraying Australians and the world amid the climate crisis, and critics say the approval ignores published planning reasons and climate impacts.
Why now: Climate campaigners are outraged that regulators approved a major coal expansion despite the climate crisis.
