BREAKING: Federal Court finds that climate impacts can be ignored when approving coal mines. It's a win for coal mining companies and the Environment Minister, and a loss for the climate, local communities, and the endangered species that are at risk from these two coal mines.

Devastatingly, today’s decision means Narrabri and Mount Pleasant coal mines are likely to be rapidly approved paving the way for another 11 gas and coal project approvals in quick succession. australiainstitute.org.au/initiative/coa…
@TheAusInstitute “Federal Court finds Government can ignore mass deaths of Australians when considering new fossil fuel mines.” These are your grandchildren they have sentenced…
@TheAusInstitute Reaching out to my elected representatives here @simonemcgurk and @Josh4Freo, and ministers @BillJohnstonMLA and @RogerCookMLA. Whether climate impacts can legally be ignored or not, I don’t want any additional fossil fuels projects approved. Period. Now or ever again. Thankyou.
@TheAusInstitute This decision will result in more tragedies like this - x.com/i/status/17118…

@TheAusInstitute Judges are appointed by government They are indebted to government for their job How can they be impartial? All cases involving government should have a jury #auspol #FreeAssange
@TheAusInstitute New roads from the royalties New hospitals from the royalties New bridges and powerlines from royalties Australia has 26 million people. We could pay 100% of our income in taxes and it still wouldnt be enough to fix highways and build hospitals. Necessary evil im afraid.
@TheAusInstitute It's a win for countries that make steel. It's a win for common sense.
@TheAusInstitute @Ozwobbly Good news. Coal is relatively clean nowadays. Let’s do it. Let’s get Australia working .
@TheAusInstitute What an appalling set of circumstances. Consider and negotiate yes. Ignore. No. Whatever the needs of the nation with regard to mining, riding touch shod over climate concerns presents ourselves in the wrong light. #coal #mining
