Our aim is to survey at least 100 people and hand in the results to our local MP (Scott Buchholz, Federal member for Wright including Canungra Beaudesert, Jimboomba, Flagstone, North Maclean, Boonah and Gatton), to convince him to speak out publicly against handing over $1 billion dollars (of public money) for Adani’s coal mine
WHAT IS THE ISSUE?
Right now, Adani is itching to dig one of the biggest coal mines in the world in Queensland’s Galilee Basin. If it goes ahead, burning coal from the megamine would generate billions of tonnes of pollution, fuel global warming and irreversibly damage our Great Barrier Reef. The reef is one of the most incredible places on Earth, home to fish, corals, turtles, whales, dolphins, sharks and rays. But it’s in grave danger. Any day now, our federal government could hand over a $1billion of public money to Adani for a coal-carting railway from the Galilee Basin to the Great Barrier Reef. But our public money is not a slush fund for a dodgy company’s climate-wrecking project with a dead end future.
It’s a disgrace. And we won’t stand for it. Already, millions of people right across Australia have stepped up to stop Adani’s dangerous mine. Over a million people like you signed the petition to tell Turnbull we say no to a $1billion handout to Adani. Thousands of us came together for the #StopAdani roadshow and hundreds are now running local groups and events to pressure their elected representatives. This is one of the biggest campaigns in our history.
Together, we’ll #StopAdani and say #NoMoreCoal.
