the greens want the mine shut down, page-2

Just from the NSW Greens policy website
http://www.nsw.greens.org.au/policies/coal

"POLICY DETAIL
The Greens NSW

oppose the development of any new coal mines or the expansion of existing coal mines. We also oppose the expansion of coal handling infrastructure. During the transition to a low carbon emissions economy, the nation’s energy and metallurgical needs can be satisfied by existing coal mines.
will work towards stopping development consent and the granting of export licences for all new coal mines."

This is just the greens being the greens. Toothless tigers full of hot air. I would like them to go to Oaklands and campaign against the mine and see what reaction they get. I dont know a single person in a 100km radius of the area that is opposed to it.
