Listen to “Call for Richmond River Koala Parks /Spotlight on Australian Supers climate cop-out.”
Episode synopsis
Earth Matters Bec Horridge meets a persistent team: Fridays 4 Forests [ Facebook] who regularly protest outside Janelle Saffin MP's office in Lismore on Friday. They are calling for the creation of the Richmond River Koala Parks and to "Stop Native Forest Logging".Then we meet climate campaigner Brett, from Market Forces who dresses as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz to call out Australian Super's climate cop-out. Australian Super has become the largest shareholder in Whitehaven Coal, which has plans to develop up to six new or expanded coal mines in New South Wales and Queensland. This investment is seen as inconsistent with Australian Super's own net zero and Paris Agreement climate commitments. LinksRichmond River Koala Parks: NSW Nature Conservation Council
