A man has locked himself to a drill rig this morning, disrupting work on Adani’s controversial Carmichael mine in the Galilee Basin.
63 year old teacher and farmer Will Douglas, from Moruya in NSW, locked himself to the drill rig on Adani’s rail corridor, saying that immediate action is needed in the face of climate emergency.
Mr Douglas says that, as a farmer, he fears the effects of climate change, and that the Australian government has been ignoring the messages of scientific experts “for too long”.
