Voices from the #StopAdani roadshow

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last few years, you would probably of heard about the proposed Carmichael coal mine in the Galilee Basin of Queensland.The case against Adani’s coal mine is compelling. The mine will draw billions of litres of water from the Great Artesian Basin, the burning of the coal will produce billions of tonnes of pollution, dashing the hope of staying under the already alarming target of 2 degrees of warming. And the mine is strongly opposed by the Wangan-Jagalingou traditional owners.But this hasn’t stopped the Queensland and Federal governments from giving subsidies, fast-tracking approval, and even attempting to change native title legislation, all to try and secure the project.On the show today we’ll hear from Millie Telford, co-director of Seed Indigenous Youth Climate Network, and Vaishali Patil, grassroots activist fighting Adani in India.Guests: Millie Telford (Seed Indigenous Youth Climate Network); Vaishali Patil (grassroots activist fighting Adani in India)Thankyou to the Stop Adani Roadshow and 350.org Australia for the audio in this episode.Earth Matters #1082 was produced by Teishan Ahearne.Links:StopAdani.comWangan & Jagalingou Family Council
