    Alison Thorne | The Organiser: The Australian Voice of Revolutionary Feminism January 2017: 

    “One of the most inspiring speakers I’ve heard recently is Murrawah Maroochy Johnson,
    a 20-year-old from the Wangan and Jagalingou people (WJP) of central Queensland.
    She spoke passionately about the battle to stop the Carmichael mine on her ancestral lands.
    Adani, an India-based multinational, plans to build one of the world’s biggest coal mines in the Galilee Basin, causing environmental devastation and reaping billions of dollars in profit. …

    “The groundswell of opposition to the project is growing, and the issues at stake —the sovereign rights of the Traditional Owners,  – the health of the Great Barrier Reef  – and the future of our only planet
    —are just too great. …

    “We need to stop the Carmichael mine, leave the Galilee Basin coal in the ground and  create a sustainable energy future based on planning.  This means challenging the underpinning logic of the capitalist system.  People and environment need to triumph over profit and corruption.”
