Peter Gray v Centennial Coal

Environmentalist, Peter Gray today launched court challenge against Centenial Coal and their aspirations of ripping up the Hunter Valley and turning it into a lovely open cut coal mine that will ultimately result in more greenhouse gas emissions than all the motor vehicles of NSW in any particular year.

In their environmental assessment this was not even mentioned as a consideration. It is this fact that Peter Gray is contesting.

Morris Iemma says that this climate change thing that he has heard people talking about seems like a tragedy waiting to happen. Yet , Centennial Coal are so cool that they can go ahead and contribute to an an environmental disaster of truely tragic proportions.

Well done Peter.
