A group of 30 people disrupted work on Adani’s controversial Carmichael mine, blocking access from the Adani work camp in central Queensland this morning.
The group included a number of young families, who said they are acting in support of the school-children led global climate strike last Friday.
Mother and activist Kate Coxall blames climate change on the moral failing of today’s older generations, who have known for years of the damage we are causing but failed to do anything about it.
“Those of us who care for the ability of our kids to live healthy and fulfilling lives must take action now to cure our addiction to fossil fuels and stop irresponsible new projects like Adani before they make things worse,” Ms Coxall said.
