The Natural Resources Access Regulator (NRAR) has announced today it is prosecuting notorious repeat offender Whitehaven Coal for stealing water at the company’s controversial Maules Creek mine, following a Lock the Gate Alliance instigated investigation. 

The land owned by Whitehaven Coal in north west NSW is nearing the size of the country of Singapore, new mapping from Lock the Gate Alliance reveals.

Pressure is mounting on one of the world’s largest insurers, Liberty Mutual, to abandon plans for a new coal mine in Central Queensland after it cited its own environmental policies for a decision to cut ties with the Adani Carmichael project.

New Right to Information documents have revealed New Acland coal mine was fined a mere $9,461 for breaching its permitted noise levels a staggering 34 times.

The Berejiklian Government’s “Strategic Statement on coal exploration and mining” is a small step in the right direction but a missed opportunity to decisively address land use conflict and diversification.
