Approval of NSW's largest coalmine condemned as governance failure
Original: The green light for the largest coalmine in NSW history is shocking proof that our governance systems are betraying Aust
New South Wales' Independent Planning Commission has approved the largest coalmine in the state's history, in the Hunter Valley. Writing in The Guardian, Georgina Woods called the green light shocking proof that Australia's governance systems are betraying Australians and the world, arguing the decision ignores the climate crisis. Climate campaigners, including Lock the Gate, are voicing strong opposition.
Why now: The state approval of a record-scale coalmine amid the climate crisis has sparked public outrage and debate over Australia's planning and climate governance.
