Gladstone Harbour has seen many years of industrial and port growth over recent decades. Industry has been part of the environmental equation in the harbour since the 1960’s. However the current scale of development and cumulative impact from multiple industrial projects undergoing construction simultaneously within the marine and coastal environment of Gladstone Harbour is unprecedented.
50,000 abandoned mines dot the Australian landscape, (15,000 in Qld) with many holding reservoirs of waste water vulnerable to flood.
This campaign opposed further coal and unconventional gas mining in Gippsland.
This campaign asked men to grow beards to raise funds for climate orgs.
This campaign focussed on protecting Bimblebox Nature Refuge (QLD) from mining. It also looked at broader protections "Thus our combined efforts to safeguard Bimblebox Nature Refuge need eventually to take this test case to the point where we achieve proper legislation that will protect all high biodiversity value areas in Queensland, not only National Parks."
