Woodhouse Colliery would be the UK’s first new deep coal mine in three decades.
In my 30 years of research, I keep uncovering long-standing environmental issues the mining industry doesn’t seem to learn from.
The study is the first of its kind to gauge how people were impacted by the bushfire crisis and how it changed their views on a range of subjects, from climate change to the government response.
Labor will not win an election by cozying up to coal or weakening its climate target. Instead, it must find the common ground uniting workers in the cities and the regions - job insecurity.
