CLIMATE ACTION SHOWOCTOBER 16TH 2023Produced by Vivien Langford "LIVING WONDERS" LOSE IN COURT The Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek was not in court to defend the challenge to her approval of two coal mine extensions. On her side were barristers for MACH Energy and  WHITEHAVEN coal. Justice Mc Elwaine dismissed the case. He said "Ultimately (this)...... raises matters for parliament to consider"   Environmental Justice Australia said "Unless it is appealed, today's judgement effectively clears the way for the minister to ignore climate change in her risk assessment of all new coal and gas projects on her desk- of which there are 25" I interviewed the president of the Environment Council of Central Queensland, Christine Carlisle about the impact on Australia's living wonders of more coal exports into the 2040's. Even now the Narrabri mine is leaking three times the climate changing  methane it claimed. If the extension is approved it will only add fuel to the climate chaos we are now experiencing everywher
