Interesting development, a coal mine treating First Nations as regulator with veto rights, to help avoid lawsuits later in the process @youthverdict

Outside QLD land court for opening arguments of #CulturalRights and #ClimateChange legal challenge to #ClivePalmer’s proposed Galilee Coal Project.
Our First Nations-led argument is the first time a coal mine has been challenged on the grounds of #HumanRights in Australia

"Qld Land Court will visit, be guided by cultural protocols and take ‘on Country evidence’ from First Nations peoples for the first time ever." @murrawah

Disappointing decision for the children the subject of this legal case, based on a duty of care to protect children from the personal injuries that will result from climate change. Will be interesting if there is any appeal

So sad. The Full Federal Court has overturned the previous court ruling that the Federal Environment Minister owes Australian children a duty of care on climate harm. Orders published here: comcourts.gov.au/file/Federa…
95% of Australia's coal reserves are unextractable if the world is to achieve the Paris Agreement aim of 1.5C per full paper available here nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
"Australia must leave almost all its coal in the ground, as well as a good chunk of its oil and gas, if the world is to have an even chance of keeping global warming to 1.5C." abc.net.au/news/science/2021…
Really great work by @ElaineEDO and Matt Floro for our client @BSCA_Aus today. Landmark decision
We won!
Celebrating for our client @BSCA_Aus today after the court ruled @NSW_EPA has a duty to address GHG emissions + climate change.
It's the first time an Australian Court has ordered a government to take meaningful action on climate change. #EmpowertheEPA #climateactionnow
Re EPA Regulatory Strategy: "136 The description of the environmental issue of climate change is so general and trite that it fails to provide any foundation for the discussion of the regulatory challenge."
Full Decision available here caselaw.nsw.gov.au/decision/…
Landmark Bushfire Survivor hearing starts today. Great work by @ElaineEDO and Matt Floro of @EDOLawyers edo.org.au/2021/08/09/landma…
