Mel McAuliffe from Youth Verdict on their groundbreaking case against Clive Palmer’s Galilee coal mine proposal

Mel McAuliffe, who lived through the impacts of climate change during the Millennium drought on her family farm in Central Queensland speaks for from Youth Verdict on their groundbreaking case against Clive Palmer's Galilee coal mine proposal to Environmental as Anything.

The EDO website says "Youth Verdict is a group of brave young Australians who are challenging Clive Palmer’s proposed Galilee Coal Project in Queensland’s Land Court, arguing the mine will contribute to catastrophic climate change and increase the risk of bushfires, drought, floods, heatwaves and cyclones.

It’s a case that is set to make legal history; one that asks us to consider what kind of climate future we are leaving for future generations.

For the first time an Australian coal mine is being challenged on human rights grounds. It’s also the first climate case brought by young people in Australia. "
