Such a critical case to ensure scope 3 emissions are considered in these decisions. Thanks for all your efforts - and so glad the science has reached a point where we can demonstrate the specific impacts of fossil fuel projects to local areas

The administration of justice is an open process and members of the public are permitted to attend.

Come along if you are interested in understanding more about how climate law works in practice.

The usual rules apply when observing courts: remain quiet, turn off phones, no photos or recordings.

Cracks appear in Pacific nuclear tomb as sea levels rise Cracks have appeared in a concrete dome holding 120,000 tonnes of contaminated soil and debris from Cold War-era nuclear bomb tests.

"Multiple recent studies have cited cracks present in its concrete cap.

Bowdens has never built a mine before, has a history of environmental breaches for its exploration activities, and yet the NSW Government is backing its plans to build an open cut lead mine in the middle of the beautiful Mudgee region.

Transparency has never been more important.

The community is concerned that after they won in the Court of Appeal, overturning the mine’s approval, the government changed the law - not once, but twice - to overcome their court win.

Former NSW Labor minister condemns Forestry Corporation after greater glider ‘den trees’ found at planned logging site Bob Debus says operations at Glenbog state forest on south coast show native forest logging is untenable

“Forestry Corp is in breach of its own regulations so frequently that the practice is effectively part of its business model.

“Native forestry operations run at a permanent loss so in reality, taxpayers are paying the fines when they are prosecuted.”
