New FOI docs reveal Santos has been considering building a carbon capture and storage project near Moree.
This could have a major impact on the Great Artesian Basin - a similar plan by Glencore was rejected last year due to its impacts on the GAB.

Vanadium and antimony more than 100X higher than permitted levels were found flowing from Russell Vale coal mine into Bellambi Creek.
Instead of penalising the company, the feds weakened the rules, allowing mine owner Wollongong Resources to pollute.

John "Kojak" Karrasch's QLD farm is sinking due to subsidence from coal seam gas.
His farm doesn't host a single well - all the damage is from drilling on surrounding properties.
Now he's demanding urgent government action before it's too late.

For the third time, a QLD Government minister has found Fox Resources' coal mine plan for Bundy is "not in the public interest".
Locals have cautiously welcomed the decision, but say after four years, the mine should be rejected outright.

Not a cent of NSW's $100 million Royalties for Rejuvenation fund - meant to support the economic diversification of coal regions - has been spent on projects.
Two of the Hunter's biggest coal mines are due to close in 5 years. The government must act.

Politicians should be supporting Aussie households and the manufacturing sector to rapidly electrify - not putting up legislation that makes it easier for gas companies to wreck communities, water, and nature.

It's just really sad that a Territorian politician is copying Donald Trump as the CLP Government rolls out the red carpet for multinational fracking companies.

Yesterday in NT Parliament, the Territory's 2nd most powerful politician invoked Donald Trump's "drill baby drill" slogan.
Gerard Maley's sad performance comes as the CLP makes sweeping changes to laws to favour multinational fracking companies.

Every time.
Every damn time.
The gas industry lies and screams that Australia is running out of gas and the only way to fix it is by drilling more polluting gas fields.
But every time AEMO releases its GSOO, that predicted shortfall is pushed further back.

The QLD LNP Government has taken the unprecedented step of cancelling a years-long independent, expert review into how the Land Court handles mining objections.
Could it be that the findings, due in a few months, were not popular with the mining industry?

“I don’t think there was ever a state government so completely and utterly captured by the gas industry. Miners always have a big say in Western Australian but the capture is almost complete in a way now.”

WA Premier Roger Cook says the images of bleached Ningaloo Reef makes him want to sell more of the state's fossil gas to Asia.
Gas is a dirty polluting fossil fuel just as bad, if not worse, than coal in terms of climate impact.
Cook is wilfully burying his head in the sand.

NSW guidelines require new coal projects to mitigate their emissions.
Despite this, Glencore and Yancoal have failed to include any such measures in their plan to expand the HVO coal mine.
This project would release a million tonnes of direct GHG pollution next year alone.
