25.01.2022 Another political bastardization of the science and assessment processes for marginal short term gain yet massive long term losses. Governance train-wrecks are pilling up impoverishing us and condemning future generations to catastrophe. Crimes against nature and humanity!

23.01.2022 Hello all friends of Coral Creek and people concerned that we can’t let greedy mining companies break promises to communities and undermine the scientific assessment and government approvals processes. Any assistance however small will be truly appreciated. Please share.

18.01.2022 This could help explain why communities on the coal face are in such denial beyond their financial dependence: Our response to climate change is uncannily similar to an even more universal disavowal: unwillingness to face our own mortality, says neuroscientist Janis Dickinson of Cornell University in New York. She argues that overt images of death and decay along with the deeper implications of societal decline and collapse are powerful triggers for denial of mortality. Ther...e is a great deal of research showing that people respond to reminders of death with aggressive assertion of their own group identity. Dickinson argues that political polarisation and angry denial found around climate change is consistent with this terror management theory. Again, there is a complex relationship between our psychology and the narratives that we construct to make sense of climate change See more

18.01.2022 Truly Beautiful song and images - The Black Headed Python eats poisonous snakes as the famous snake expert Ram Chandra (real name: Edward Royce Ramsamy) used to tell us when he visited the schools in the 1970s. Bimblebox Nature Reserve is threatened by Clive Palmer and coals mines larger than the original Adani proposal - Bimblebox lodge their objections tomorrow and need financial and other help for this David and Goliath battle ahead.

16.01.2022 How does Adam Creighton get to be an economics editor for The Australian? He proudly admits to shaking hands with young people because they don’t get covid19 they do and they can die. He calculates that the lives saved by the lockdown cost $1billion each because there were so few what? Then he sings the praises of the discredited for inaccuracy Planet of the Humans and then repeats the falsehood that battery storage is not viable because the capacity is so low yet the reality is they are very effective because their response time is extremely quick and they are used in conjunction with pumped storage which has much greater capacity but can take some minutes to ramp up. He also regurgitates the myth that the grid needs baseload and therefore we need nuclear.

13.01.2022 Great report showing the beauty and abundance of our ocean while ignorance and greed are destroying it - Australia is blessed with a mega-biodiverce country and the Great Barrier Reef yet is allowing environmentally degrading development for short term profit. A tragedy for the Whole World.

10.01.2022 Matt Canavan acted like a bully on tonight’s program. He dumped disinformation so often there was little chance to challenge it eg. the costs of power from Kogan Creek built 12 years ago by the Qld Govt has depreciated the build costs and the biggest subsidies to coal and fossil fuels are the environmental destruction of land, waterways and aquifers, and the costs associated with global warming, climate disruption, sea level rise and ocean acidification. CSIRO have published a draft report GenCost 2019-20 that reaffirms that renewables are the cheapest new build with storage factored in that was made clear in GenCost 2018 if Matt Canavan is not aware of this he is either incompetent or wilfully blind: https://www.csiro.au//Annual-update-finds-renewables-are-c

10.01.2022 Deepest Gratitude Tom. Those living and working in coal mining communities have had their trees, lands, waterways, aquifers and heritage dug up, and their air and water polluted, and ours and our wildlife habitat decimated - our hearts and souls are broken. Government and business has known for decades that coal would be replaced by renewable energy as CO2 emissions and global warming were damaging our environment they have left us out on a limb shame on them. You give us hope and comfort Tom for a sustainable future for our communities and our children. .

10.01.2022 A Very Big Issue across Australia and the World. To Quote: In its Global Risks 2015 Report, the World Economic Forum ranks water crises as the number one risk in terms of impact to society ahead of weapons of mass destruction, spread of infectious disease, failure of climate change adaptation and fiscal crises.

07.01.2022 Well this is not surprising the abuse of power by coal mines is there for all to see. A succession of governments have allowed coal mines to destroy our environments unnecessarily with consequences that will last for 1000s of years and in many cases forever. It is telling that only the Aged Care Industry has a worse reputation the Howard Costello Government scrapped the renewable energy ERDC R&D corporation when we were leading the World in solar power technology and deregulated the Aged Care industry when they came to power in 1996 the consequences of this corrupted political process have come home to roost in catastrophic ways. Shame on the Liberal National Coalition and the craven businesses and people who have been accomplices in these crimes against Australian and Australians.

07.01.2022 Excellent article - very relevant to us.

07.01.2022 Bruce Currie makes a lot of sense here.

06.01.2022 Tragically Typical.

03.01.2022 The QCoal Sonoma mine EIS from 2006 promised on page 4: A levee will be constructed to the north of the main Sonoma pit to protect it from flooding of Coral Creek (based on a 100 year rainfall event). A buffer zone to protect Coral Creek was also promised. The levee was never constructed but 2 years into the operation of the mine in 2010 Sonoma Mine Management proposed to divert and mine Coral Creek. The following material was presented to the Collinsville community by Sonoma...Continue reading
