Approval of NSW's largest coalmine sparks governance backlash

New South Wales' Independent Planning Commission has approved what is being called the largest coalmine in the state's history, drawing sharp criticism. Georgina Woods, writing in Guardian Australia, argues the decision proves Australia's governance systems are failing both Australians and the global climate, in the context of the Hunter Valley mining expansion and the escalating climate crisis.
Why now: Climate campaigners are reacting strongly to the state approval of a major new coal project despite emissions concerns.
