Aboriginal legal challenge to Carmichael coal project in Queensland
Traditional owners challenge Qld mine http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/breaking-news/traditional-owners-challenge-qld-mine/news-story/f243c7c4f8af7436202f40bd0e60b1d1
Indian energy giant Adani’s controversial $16.5 billion Carmichael coal mine is facing even more legal action, with traditional owners to become the latest to challenge its approval.
Wangan and Jagalingou cultural leader Adrian Burragubba will appear in the Federal Court in Brisbane on Monday to challenge a National Native Title Tribunal decision that allowed the government to issue a mining licence for the Carmichael project in Queensland’s Galilee Basin without traditional owners’ consent.
The environmental group is arguing Mr Hunt didn’t properly consider the impact emissions from burning coal will have on climate pollution and Australia’s international obligations to protect the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef.
