  • Please join us to show opposition to new coal projects which would destroy prime farmland and triple Victoria's contribution to greenhouse pollution.

    Melbourne's market garden food-bowl, Bacchus Marsh, is under threat from a plan to export brown coal. The plan - using a...
    n experimental drying technology - could coat our food in coal dust and contaminate land and water.

    Along with Baillieu's other experimental plans to export brown coal, this would more than TRIPLE Victoria's CO2 emissions.

    At the same time, the Federal and State governments are still offering the coal company HRL $150 million - your taxes - to build a new coal fired power station in Victoria.

    Now is the perfect time to speak up: the Federal Government is very sensitive on climate right now and Baillieu holds power by one seat by one power... join us to speak clearly and be listened to. Standing together, we can stop new coal in Victoria.
