The Greens condemn Adani\u2019s attempts to silence Galilee Blockade leader, Ben Pennings, by seeking to\u00a0 bankrupt his family with legal action and secretly applying to the Supreme Court to raid his home.
\nSenator for Queensland and Greens spokesperson for mining and resources, Senator Larissa Waters, said:
\n\u201cWe live in a broken democracy where big companies will do whatever they can to silence opposition.
\n\u201cThe fact that a multinational coal mining giant twice sought the Queensland Supreme Court\u2019s permission to have its private investigators raid the home of a protestor just shows how terrified they are of public scrutiny.
\n\u201cThis is not the first time that Adani have tried to sick their \u201ctrained attack dogs\u201d on everyday people\u00a0trying to stand up to them.
\n\u201cAnd all this from a company convicted of breaching environmental conditions, and just this week for unconscionable conduct and dishonest behaviour.
\n\u201cThe big parties may be dancing to the tune of\u00a0their coal donors, but the Greens will continue to stand with communities across the country\u00a0standing against\u00a0Adani\u2019s destructive path.
\n\u201cQueenslanders want a safe climate, cheap clean power and real, lasting jobs for coal communities as we transition to a clean economy.
\n“People, like Ben Pennings, will rally in force to stop Adani – and the Greens will be right there with them.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
