'Friends' continue to protest against coal in Victoria

T

here is no place for new coal in Victoria.

Wherever exploration licenses and proposed new coal projects have appeared, both in Gippsland and Western Victoria, they have been met with fierce opposition. 

The Victorian government has acknowledged that the process for approving mining exploration is inadequate, leading to the Minister taking back the power to grant new licenses from the department. This is not enough. Victorian communities need to know that their farmland, water and health is not under threat from reckless projects.
