Scientists and environment groups are bitterly disappointed by the Federal Court’s decision to dismiss two landmark climate cases against Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek and two coal mining companies and are calling for urgent reforms to Australia’s environment laws.
I give up.
Enjoy life while we still can, I guess.
I meant posting to !environment. I can’t be the only one, it’s embarrassing.
I’ve been an environmental activist for roughly 20 years. I’ve been arrested, I’ve been in fist-fights with Nazis, I’ve done it all.
It feels like there are fewer activists today than there has ever been.
I’m planning to leave the country.

Short of a High Court appeal it looks like we're back to direct action being absolutely essential to ensuring Australia's environmental obligations.
The responsible Minister has neither the interest nor the obligation to act in.
