Climate activists and organisations say environment minister Tanya Plibersek’s decision to approve the expansion of three thermal coal mines in north-western NSW will “supercharge climate change”. Kerry Smith reports.

Raymond “Bubbly” Weatherall, who has been fighting the oil and gas giant for many years, says the fight for culture, land and water is far from over. Pip Hinman reports.

The New South Wales Department of Planning and Environment recommended approval of a new thermal coalmine to the Independent Planning Commission on October 9.
