Bob Brown seeks $500,000 to train anti-Adani activists

Former Greens leader Bob Brown has launched a last-ditch effort to halt the planned Adani coal mine, rallying supporters to raise half a million dollars to purchase land to establish a base to train activists and plan protests against the mine.

Dr Brown, whose ‘Stop Adani’ anti-coal convoy through central Queensland during the election campaign has been credited with increasing a swing towards the Coalition, yesterday launched a crowdfunding page with a group, Friends of the Galilee Basin, to establish a “last line of defence” anti-Adani campaign headquarters in regional Queensland.

The target is to raise $500,000 to set up “a base for the campaign” at Binbee to “ensure that people can keep protecting country and put their bodies on the frontline”.

“Having a safe camp to train activists and plan protests is critical to getting thousands to the frontline.” the crowdfunding page states.

“Despite outcry from the scientific community, the Australian government has given the Adani Coal mine the final tick of approval.

“The good news is there are people on the frontline who are prepared to protect water, community and living systems to leave a safe planet for future generations.

“So far activists have helped to delay, disrupt and reduce the size of the Adani mega mine for over 5 years. Now is the time to come together and stop it for good.

“Mass civil disobedience is our last position to stop Adani in one of the biggest environmental battles in Australian history.” it said.

The campaign had raised $2,490 as of 8am this morning.

Queensland’s Environment Department gave the green light to Adani’s groundwater management plan last month, the final major approval needed for stage two of construction to begin on the controversial $2 billion.

Surveying and clearing work on the mine’s main site began on June 19.

Dr Brown gained notoriety when he led opposition against Tasmania’s Franklin Dam in the 1970s.

Many Coalition figures have stated the activist’s ‘Stop Adani’ convoy, which was heckled in when travelling through Queensland, helped the government’s election result in May.

Dr Brown has previously rejected those claims as “hogwash”.

Disgusting. He can at least fund this crap out of his own pocket, filthy grub.

Maybe, to raise some more money, commie Bob and his supporters could start backing

An activist training commune?

I will admit though that I am in two minds about Adani.

I don't really know much about it to be honest and haven't read too much on it but off the top of my head ...

1. I don't trust an Indian company to do the right thing.

2. Most of the coal they mine is being exported back to India as far as I know.

So basically, I am a bit of a Greenie at heart and don't think an Indian company mining coal to send back to India will have safe environmental practices in mind. Hit and run and leave an environmental disaster in their wake. Also I would be surprised if they didn't smuggle in Indian workers instead of using Aussies.

Suffice it to say that until I educate myself on the subject I have reservations.
