Lawrence Township Trustees meeting

Clive and coral don't mix Clive Palmer wants to build a coal mine 10km from the waters of the Great Barrier Reef and the Queensland Government has said okay, we will consider it. No, we will not consider it. Someone needs to remind Clive and the Queensland Government that the only way coral and coal can exist together is to leave the coal in the ground. This is a very bad idea on many levels. First and foremost, is global warming, fuelled primarily by the burning of coal. The impacts on the reef are well-known and devastating. We do not need another new coal mine to add to the problem.
