Anti Adani coal project movement continues, despite Court setback
Court setback for anti-Adani campaign Margaret Gleeson https://www.greenleft.org.au/glw-authors/margaret-gleeson, August 25, 2017 https://www.greenleft.org.au/content/court-setback-anti-adani-campaign
” … While further legal challenges in the High Court are still awaiting decision, the movement in opposition to Adani is growing. Protests have been held in recent weeks in Townsville and Brisbane targetting Adani’s offices and those of likely contractor Downer. Arrests were made.
“The campaign is currently organising a series of summits in Queensland regional centres, Brisbane and Sydney to plan the next steps in the campaign. The focus so far has been on direct action.
This has successfully prevented Adani from securing financial support from the Big Four Banks.
” … as Adani continues to have the support of both the Coalition and Labor, to defeat Adani and put an end to all new coalmines in Australia, mass demonstrations will be needed along with the lobbying, direct action and legal tactics.”
