@gerardrennick70: So the Australian High Court thinks that emissions generated overseas are more important than the jobs and livelihoods of people in Australia. 👇 Seriously you can’t make this stuff up. Mining companies in Australia are expected to measure scope 3 emissions which is the all the carbon generated by “end” users. Not only is this obligation onerous, it’s virtually impossible to do and something the miner has little control over given the coal is burned offshore. Up until now “exported” coal has largely avoided the environmental activist attention that domestic coal has suffered. That has now changed with this decision which is a massive threat to our exports. People First will withdraw from all treaties that give the High Court the power to rule on issues regarding energy. The foreign powers section of the constitution was never intended by our founding fathers to be used to destroy our economy, yet because of activist High Court judges that is exactly what has happened. People First will also hold a referendum to limit the terms of High Court judges to 8 or 10 years.

With the decision sending a chill through the nations resources sector, the NSW government insisted planning conditions around "Scope 3" emissions have been tightened to prevent similar challenges to other major mines. High Court judges on Wednesday upheld last year's decision by the NSW Court of Appeal siding with a community group that argued the impacts of climate change caused by emissions from exports must be considered during planning applications.”
