Several environmental groups have collaborated in opposition of South32's proposal to continue mining in the catchment until 2048.
"Obviously the land is going to be dry in the drought and that's even more reason why we shouldn't have any further stresses on the vegetation and the water-holding capacity of the catchment areas," Ms Sheppard said."If we have a fire through the catchments in summer, then we could see massive impacts that will destroy the swamps forever."
"The repair of the cracked bases of the swamps has never been done — there is no example of this having ever been done, so they don't know how to do it," she said.
I’m sitting here in Adelaide where we have never had much water thanks to QLD and NSW and I’m laughing and laughing and laughing................
But the Federal LNP, and Qld Labor, are telling us mining is good for everyone.
Fucking humans. Take take take.
