Conservationists have launched a legal challenge to environment minister Tanya Plibersek’s decision to allow the proposed extension of two coal mines in New South Wales to be considered for approval under national environment laws.
The Environment Council of Central Queensland (ECoCeQ) had asked the minister last year to reconsider and effectively reject 19 proposed new coal and gas projects because of their potential effects on the climate.
If successful, this case could mean all new coal and gas plans must be properly assessed for their climate risk to our environment.
