Anna Christie is an environmental advocate & educator who has been engaged in the fossil fuel front line for nearly 7 years, organising tours of the Narrabri region particularly the Leard and Pilliga Forests (which have been dedicated by the NSW government to coal mining and gas extraction) and field monitoring of coal and gas expansion in the Namoi Valley. Anna is a foundation member of the Australian Citizen Science Association and a co-founder of the Leard Forest Research Node. Since 2017, Anna has been a contributor to North West Protection Advocacy which has focused particularly on coal seam gas advocacy in NSW.
She spoke to Environmental as Anything about her recent article on the NW Protection Advocacy blog - "Portrait of a Gasfield Workforce – The Jobs Myth" in which she says that one of the gas industry’s cruellest and most poisonous false claims – that it will generate a jobs boom for Australia – is now threatening to undermine the good work of countless groups, individuals and business owners in moving towards a more sustainable future.

With Covid19 restrictions being lifted the people of NSW are finding that while they have been restrained in their movements and behaviours the logging industry has not and the results are horrific. Myrtle State Forest just south of Casino was burned by the climate infernos last summer and now is threatened with imminent logging destruction. The North East Forest Alliance (NEFA) & Extinction Rebellion (XR) went out to bear witness to the forestry operations in progress there. Environmental as Anything was there to report.

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. "
