Westpac Bank recently announced a new policy to address climate change concerns.

This supports emissions controls and refuses lending to new coal mines in Galilee Basin. This decision by Westpac is being attacked by Federal politicians so we need to support Westpac : we will deliver a letter to Federal MP Justine Elliot saying we need her to defend our climate/our future in Parliament.

Demonstrate : gather outside Justine Elliot’s office opposite Tweed City shopping centre at South Tweed at 11 AM on Thursday 4th 
office : 107 Minjungbal Drive Tweed Heads South
If you can’t be there contact the (ALP) Member for Richmond.

Stop Adani – Save The Reef – Save the world !
The Australian Government has begged the Indian capitalist Gautam Adani to take over central Queensland and said it would “take care of” opposition from local traditional owners and other landholders . They voted to allow Adani as much of our precious water as they want (to wash the coal.)
India and China are moving away from dirty coal – generated electricity in favour of renewable technologies because of air and water pollution. Why not Australia? Money from fossil fuel companies buys too many of our politicians. Resources Minister Senator Matt Canavan needs to be sacked , and the National Party needs to sack Barnaby Joyce for their lies and support for Adani . They want to “loan” nearly a Billion dollars of public money for Adani to build a railway from their mega-mine to Abbot Point . Adani has a terrible track record and will never pay back this “loan.” That doesn’t matter say these two charlatans as “other companies will exploit the Galilee Basin” once Adani gets started there.

The Great Barrier Reef will suffer more damage: it is in dire stress, maybe even terminal decline already! But that doesn’t matter : the thousands of jobs lost in our tourism industry will be replaced by coal mine jobs…until robotics and black lung kick in. Barnaby Joyce says the only way Australia can stay afloat is to be a quarry for other nations. Good luck with that strategy : the world is moving away from fossil fuels.
The Coal-ition Federal Government is supported by the ALP Queensland government, so all three major parties need a slap. The Federal Senate (Greens and minor parties) could stop this outrageous treason against our future. Tell them to do it!
