Lots of #StopAdani billboards up on private fences in one area of Geelong.
More to come!

Congrats to the 200 local #StopAdani volunteers who knocked on 4,450 doors in Wentworth and had 1,669 conversations with locals. You were the boots on the ground keeping climate change and at the top of the agenda. #QandA

Coal industry to be closed down in ten years
The science says we need:
• All coal plants in pre-construction phase cancelled.
• Existing coal power capacity halved by 2030.
• Full phase out in OECD countries by 2030.
• Near-total global phase-out by 2050.
In other words: During the next ten years, we need a coal phase-out in economically developed countries like Australia, and the Asian coal giants need to follow suit — quickly.
We are asking the federal politicians in our area: How does that match with building a new coal megamine in Australia?
