Today\u2019s NSW Land and Environment Court ruling preventing a new coal mine in NSW is a game changer Greens climate and energy spokesperson Adam Bandt MP said today.
\n\u201cThis ruling is a game changer,\u201d Mr Bandt said.
\n\u201cA court has ruled that a coal mine can\u2019t proceed because Australian coal, whether burned here or abroad, will make climate change worse.\u201d
\n\u201cNow we as law makers need to follow suit. I\u2019ll introduce legislation when Parliament resumes to stop new coal mines and phase out coal mining.\u201d
\n\u201cFrom floods in Queensland, drought in the Murray Darling to fires in Tasmania, climate change is hitting Australia hard. It shouldn\u2019t be left up to judges to act. Labor and Liberal politicians must join the Greens to pass a law to keep coal in the ground.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
