FALSE PRIDE IN COAL
The way Clermont locals reacted to the Bob Brown Stop Adani convoy is evidence of the lack of environmental science awareness and defecit of future focussed politics in Central Queensland. I lived there, there is nothing proudly patriotic about coal on beaches and coal dust on windowsills. There is nothing proudly Australian about the sickening pollution of minerals extraction and refinement. There is nothing beneficial to the local economy about jobs for a few, and poverty for the rest of the community. Central Queensland is a hopeless place where the glum fossil fuels factories pollute the skies and drug addiction and poverty defines everyday life.
