And they are green sometimes when the rains come, and they are already inhabited. The Doongmabulla Springs in Wangan and Jagalingou country are a sacred place and should be sacred to all of us, but Adrian Burrugubba, who is a senior custodian is taking the Qld Government to the Supreme  court on human rights grounds. The Adani company has already overstepped the environmental limits imposed to protect the springs. In a statement I received Mr Burrugubba said "If water extraction and pollution from the Adani mine are allowed to continue, the springs will be destroyed forever.

For Human Rights Day we're joined by Gurridyula Gaba Wunggu, Wangan & Jagalingou Traditional Custodian about Waddananggu.  Translated as 'The Talking', Waddananggu is a stone Bora ring and ceremonial ground opposite Adani's Carmichael coal mine where Wangan & Jagalingou people are asserting their human rights to practice culture.This ceremonial reoccupation that began on 26 August 2021 is using the Queensland Human Rights Act 2019, Section 28 to stand up against the destruction of Wangan & Jagalingou Country.  Gurridyula discusses the history of the fight against Adani and the government, how they are using Human Rights to protect country, some of the sacred sites that are under threat of destruction and how he is using music created on site at Waddananggu to spread the word in solidarity with other First Nations.Featuring the song Gee'd Up by Gurridyula.https://standing-our-ground.org 

This Friday we have Coedie McAvoy, Wangan / Jagalingu man joining us live via phone from the Waddananggu camp in central Queensland. The frontiers of climate crisis and First Nations dispossession are being pushed beyond their limits by the centuries old coalition of party political government and big business - once again. The Adani-Bravus mega coal mine at Carmichael is just the first of many planned for the galilee basin, laying down the infrastructure which can only lead to more intense climate chaos, expanding an industry with no future. Coedie will talk with us from Waddananggu, a cultural ceremony taking place across the road from Adani-Bravus's Carmichael Mine - the biggest coal mine in this continent's history.

CLIMATE ACTION RADIO SHOW  SEPTEMBER 12th 2022Produced by Vivien Langford THE DIRTY TRUTH ABOUT GREEN OPTIMISM I was alerted to the new gold rush for critical minerals by Gavin Mudd, Associate Professor in Environmental Engineering at RMIT University. We must not make the transition to renewable energy and electrifying everything without putting far more regulation on global mining. As Carlos Zorilla says from Ecuador"The voices calling for careful considerations of the impacts of a transition to ‘clean' energy are drowned by the misplaced optimism of a green future. Few are asking commonsense questions that, if not answered now could easily create a worse environmental disaster later – and even compound the climate crisis. The elephant in the room few want to acknowledge is the destruction of people and the environment that will result from the hunger for so-called green energy minerals – mainly copper, cobalt, nickel and lithium."In Chile Lithium is called the "white gold" Lithium Mining Is Leaving Chile's Indigenous Communities High and Dry (Literally) | NRDCand in Ecuador   our own Gina Rinehart is determined to extract copper from a fragile mountainous cloud forest.Rinehart's Roadblock in Ecuador - Friends of the Earth Australia (foe.org.au)Meanwhile the Climate Campaigners focussed on  stopping  new coal exports from Australia are very grateful to the Wangan and Jagalingou people.The Adani Carmichael mine is 9 months into operation with a huge slag heap rising up off their land and underground water already being sucked out to wash the coal. But they are not lying down on the rail tracks. Their dignified year long Waddanangu Ceremony is attracting indigenous and other visitors from all over the country.W&J have shown their intent to continue the ceremony and take their land back - you can sign up as a monthly donor to keep the sacred fire burning here. Moving news from EcuadorCarlos Zorilla won the Equator prize for  the protection, restoration and sustainable management of ecosystems that help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. He speaks to us from the Cloud Forest in Ecuador where  they are protecting  a wonderland of biodiversity.They have made two foreign mining companies back down but now are defending their land against the ravenous appetite for critical minerals used in electric vehicles and all the machinery of the renewables transition we have to make.One of the companies HANRINE is connected to Australian Gina Rinehart. Carlos Zorrilla | The EcologistThe dirty truth about clean energy by Carlos Zorrilla — Local Futures | by Local Futures | Local Futures — Economics of Happiness | Medium Thrilling news from Colombia: New anti extractivist Government promises strong climate action.The Vice President  Francia Marquez is already a veteran environmental warrior.

It sounded like a summit.Mining extracts gigalitres of water, leaved horrendous slag heaps and black voids. If the land rights laws lack teeth to prevent this, Coedie Mc Avoy and the Wangan and Jagalingou people are using the Human rights laws to occupy parts of their land for ceremony. Coral also talks about what she learned about the sacredness of this land. Trees where a person's placenta was buried become that person's responsibility. Imagine if all Australians were initiated into this level of care!On the eve of the anniversary a special First Nations panel was held on Wangan and Jagalingou Country to discuss the theme of resilience and reoccupation with some incredible speakers: Gwenda Stanley Gomeroi Cultural Ambassador - Tent Embassy, Josie Alec, Kuruma Marthudhunera Custodian, Burrup peninsula, DK- Fresh Water Yuggera man, Deebing creek (who have been reoccupying their homelands for 1000 days) and Wangan and Jagalingou Tribal elder Adrian Burragubba.

CLIMATE ACTION SHOW DECEMBER 6TH 2021Produced by Vivien LangfordCLIMATE JUSTICE FOR FIRST NATIONS The fall out from COP 26 means renewed determination to have a seat at the table and accountability to the people most affected. Meanwhile, despite 100 days of ceremony by the Wangan and Jagalingou people in the Galilee basin and going through all the formal channels, we are distressed that the Bravus- Carmichael mine continues to destroy.Elder Adrian Burruguba said  that  the area destroyed in December was " an ancient stone tool-making area that our people utilised for thousands of years,"https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-07/bravus-carmichael-mine-cultural-heritage-concerns-dismissed/100679496You can reach out to these water and land protectors if you see that they are the front line against the opening up of a massive coal basin, flying in the face of global necessity to stop emissions from coal oil and gas.  Watch the video first:https://wanganjagalingou.com.au/donate/US bank BNY Mellon cuts ties with Adani's Carmichael coalmine | Adani Group | The GuardianShowing the way forward we interview Karrina Nolan about the launch of the First Nations Clean Energy Network.  As one of their members, Tony Mc Avoy, a distinguished Native Title Silk says "Not only is  Australia failing to pull its weight internationally, but it's failing to ensure that the renewables boom is regulated in a manner that protects First Nations Rights and incentivises First Nations participation."We start with the resounding words of Barkindji Man Bruce Shillingsworth and the beautiful sounds of Samoan dancing. Then we hear about the Loss and damage negotiations in Glasgow with Siobhan Mc Donnel  and the youth voice at Cop 26 from Global Voices. You might also like to support the Pacific Calling Partnership.  https://www.erc.org.au/pcp None of these people is giving up and neither should we. The centrepiece of this podcast is the Clean Energy way forward explained by Karrina Nolan. Let's not let the next boom create as much injustice and environmental damage as the last one. There are so many First Nations people around the world holding the line for all of us.

Nicky Chirlian is the chair of the landcare group that implemented regenerative farming prionciples over a wide area.In Vermont Didi Pershouse speaks to us about how all this rehydration has a big role in sequestering carbon. She talks about the soil Carbon sponge which is demonstrated in her video above. She is dedicated to building the sorts of communities that work together and learn from indigenous land carers. Water Protection Action you can take:A vital water source for the Wangan and Jagalingou People is the Doongmabula springs. The Adani Carmichael coal mine will threaten its existence by siphoning out and polluting great volumes of water. Here is a letter from Adrian Burrugubba. Please write an email as he suggests. Friends, I need your support.Today I have written to the Honourable Meaghan Scanlon MP, Minister for Environment, to call for an immediate stop work order on construction of the Carmichael mine.I have asked her to intervene and support our human rights by ensuring that our lands and waters, and our sacred Doongmabulla Springs, are protected from Adani.You can help strengthen our demands.Please write to Minister Scanlon expressing your support for the W&J cultural custodians and our call for immediate action to protect our sacred Doongmabulla Springs. Email her at environment@ministerial.qld.gov.au - and please Cc us at wanganandjagalingousog@gmail.com so we can see your messages too.The Queensland Government has so far failed to address our call for urgent action. We have raised the dire warning about the threat to our sacred springs - a place of profound cultural heritage to us. We fear that the very large volume of water extraction by Adani that is now evident has already locked in future environmental damage to our sacred site. The Department of Environment and Science concluded its investigation into our complaint with “no further action will be taken”, despite the evidence we provided about the harm being done to the Doongmabulla Springs.Adani continues to act with impunity and our lands and waters are in peril. We have raised many times that the Adani mine breaches our human rights - as there was no free, prior, and informed consent for the issuing of the mining leases - and that our lands and waters are in peril. The Government is now responsible for the terrible impacts occurring on our Country and to our sacred sites. You can help us change this. We have asked the Minister to meet with us and ensure four things happen. Let her know you support -A ‘Stop Work' on the mine until our sacred Doongmabulla Springs are protectedIndependent verification of the results of the department's investigation into our complaintA comprehensive, independent, scientific review to help protect the water and the springsThe right of our cultural custodians' group to hold Adani to account for its destruction of our lands and watersWe must act urgently! The very large volume of water being extracted by Adani is locking in future environmental damage to our sacred site. This can only get worse. Please donate to support the work of the W&J Nagana Yarrbayn Cultural Custodians.We know from experience and history that the consequences for our people will be severe, causing ongoing loss of connection to Country and to our culture, intergenerational trauma, grief, and psychological harm.Our culture is inseparable from our lands and waters, including groundwater. Where the groundwater flows to the surface, at the Doongmabulla Springs, is our most sacred site. Mining our land and extracting our groundwater denies us our right to enjoy, maintain and protect our culture and traditional stories. We need you to help ensure that we are not subjected to forced destruction of our culture. We are building new legal arguments to defend our human rights and protect the water. Please help us in this work.We need your support to bring new legal challenges to defend our human rights. With your support we will pursue all avenues to protect our cultural rights and our lands and waters.To see more about the W&J cultural custodians and how we are standing our ground, visit our website and FaceBook page. Yours for Country. Adrian BurragubbaWangan and Jagalingou tribal leader& W&J Nagana Yarrbayn senior cultural custodian

Ian Dunlop, whose association with Shell and the Coal Industry gives us an inside view , said they are engaged in "predatory delay" and must shut down within 2 years. Christine Milne saw signs at Davos of the corporations positioning themselves for bail outs.We ask : Are they too big to fail? Will we let them take us down with them? Please sign the declaration.Meanwhile Heidi Lee is helping business and industry to re imagine themselves using non fossil energy, yes even  green steel. She waxes lyrical over Arc Furnaces and takes us to where things are really molten.  As Simon Holmes a Court said "there is a war on for talent" as coal, oil and gas struggle to find young people who want to work on climate wrecking projects. Heidi is recruiting volunteer engineers to work on projects that leave something to be proud of.Transitions Film Festival starts this week and we speak to Julian O'shea about why he modified a second hand Tuk Tuk to make it go on solar power. He's just been on a tour in India and Thailand. It's a cheaper vehicle than most EVs and will reduce the urban pollution as it beetles about town at 50km p/h. The film Solar Tuk Tuk shows on opening night at the NOVAWe hear Bob Brown calling us to stop  the coal trucks, lock the gates against gas and get in the way of logging in the Tarkine. He calls us Bravehearts and the film "Convoy" celebrates the brave people putting themselves in the way of climate disruptors. He was on the platform beside Adrian Burrugubba of the Wangan and Jagalingou people in the Galilee.Bruce Shillingsworth comes from western NSW where the Darling/ Baarka river is being robbed of its waters. First Nations people feel abandoned and do not acccept the poor conditions that have left them high and dry and have caused widespread deaths of fish and wildlife. He wishes to unify Australians in the restoration of the rivers and the land. You can see it yourself and be part of the discussion, when the film "When the rivers run dry" shows at the  NOVA

L’Associazione per i Popoli Minacciati (APM) fa notare che parte di quella che sarà la più grande miniera di carbone al mondo si trova su terreni appartenenti alle tribù Wangan e Jagalingou.

 2019 The climate action year in roundupProduction: Andy BrittInterviews by Vivien Langford and Kurt Johnson As we face over a hundred Bushfires in Australia, the Madrid Climate Conference carries on and some Extinction Rebels go on hunger fast in order to get commitments from parliamentarians, we look at some of the campaigns that are hot at the end of 2019. Vanessa Petrie CEO of BZE talks about Australia's first Zero Carbon Factory. What we could do with 700% renewable energy and the groundswell of job creation in coal country.  Naomi Hogan from Lock the Gate Alliance defends the Traditional Owners of the Beetaloo Basin in NT. They are protecting their land against gas fracking. We can stand up with them for our future, especially if we are customers of gas companies.  Rev Alex Sangster takes us to the frontlines of resistance to Adani. The sacred springs of the Wangan and Jagalingou people are now "owned" by Adani and she calls out to us to go up to the Galilee and stand with them.  Daniel Bleakley speaks to Vivien on the steps of parliament. Surrounded by 27 empty plates to symbolise the meals he has missed over 9 days he draws attention to the hunger already felt where the climate crisis hits   our most vulnerable people. Which politicians will stop and listen to this eloquent messenger? He is part of a global hunger strike by Extinction Rebellion.   Jacinda Ardern the Prime Minister of New Zealand says we must move beyond targets and deliver signs of action. She launched her Zero Carbon Bill to a standing ovation. Thanks to Mik Aidt for the audio.                  "Jacinda Ardern hails New Zealand zero-carbon law: 'On the right side of history'"  Mark Carter is the author of "The Elephant in th sky" and has just launched a new group. Flight Free Australia. We talk about the effect of Greta Thunberg sailing to the USA and back. In extraordinary times we take extraordinary action.Its an ethical challenge we can rise to.Tommy John Herbert is a member of the MUA and a Sydney Wharfie. He talks about the dead Turtles and Fish he saw as a Seafarer as he supplied the gas rigs off Broome.

She talks to Kurt Johnson about the Penalties being imposed on Engie for the Morwell mine fire of 2014. The responsibility of mine owners to protect the health of the community comes through loud and clear. Thanks to all our guests who made this show happen, to Beyond Zero Emissions and to Radio 3cr... and a big thanks to all of our listeners. The team this year has been Erin, Adelle, Roger, Andy, Kurt and Vivien. For climate action during the holidays contact any of the groups we have highlighted during the year. As its an emergency their rebellion will swell.

Adani is currently clearing trees for the construction of its Carmichael mine in Queensland.In todays show we hear Adrian Burragubba leader of the Wangan Jagalingou  family council  and  the traditional owners of the Carmichael coal mine site in Queensland.  Adani has recently made Adrian Burragubba bankrupt after several court cases with the company.  The  Wangan Jangalingou famly council  have declared their sovereign  independence and established a sovereignty camp  to practice law and custom and have  cultural ceremony on country. They  are calling  on first nations people to stand with them to protect their  cultural sovereignty. Later we hear Heather who locked on to a drill rig that had started work on the  Adani rail line. Then Anita gives  insight into what its like at the Stop Adani defenders at Camp Bimbi on Birri Country, 40ks West of Bowen, QLD. Guests:Adrian Burragubba leader of the Wangan Jagalingou  council, traditional owners of the Carmichael coal mine site.Coedie on DidgeredooHeather Simpson locked onto an Adani drill rigAnita and Sophie speaking from Camp Bimbi, Stop Adani camp 30 ks West of Bowne QLD.Song : Xavier Rudd: live recording from Camp BimbiLinks:Wangan Jagalingou Traditional Owners  Council FacebookWangan Jagalingou Family Council WebsiteFrontline Action on Coal  This week's show  #1203, was produced by Bec Horridge    

This week on the program we look at coal and coal fired power stations. We hear from Bronya Lipski, Environmental Justice Australia lawyer and author of recent report “Unearthing Australia’s toxic coal ash legacy” about the coal ash waste dumps that come with generating coal fired power and their impact on the community and environment. In the second part of the program we speak with Amy from Front Line Action on Coal for a report from the blockade camp against Adani’s proposed Carmichael coal mine on Wangan and Jagalingou land in the north of the Galilee Basin in central Queensland.

We chatted with Stephen Long who was the journalist on the ABC Four Corners program: Digging into Adani to get an idea for how the Adani Group operates and how it has performed financially, environmentally and legally in the past, particularly with its projects in India. Vivien recorded a speech by the Wangan and Jagalingou people about their battle upholding native title. And we spoke with Jenny Weber, the Campaign Manager at The Bob Brown Foundation, about the long running protest movement against the Carmichael mine that has come to define the climate change movement in Australia, about how it has evolved to combat changing tactics by the Adani group.

We return to what has been touted one of the most significant social and environmental struggles of our era, the fight against the proposed Adani coal mine on Wangan and Jagalingou peoples' land in Central Qld. Hear a conversation with lawyer from Environmental Justice Australia, Ariane Wilkinson, who discusses EJA's research into Adani's international corporate behaviour. Also featured are some excerpts from the Stop Adani Roadshow outlining how people can get active at this crucial time.

This show will be broadcast on Mon 20th Feb 2017We talk to Katerina Gaita (CEO of Climate for Change), who hopes they will have talked to 500,000 Australians by next year and has had interest in the model of community building from Singapore and Canada. Carol Ride is a Psychologist (Psychology for a Safe Climate) who is fortifying those who are already active but weighed down by the frustration and heaviness of knowing how fast we are moving towards irreversible tipping points. Scott Lewington is a musician from The Same Boat. Their show Adios Adani! (A musical protest and fundraiser) will give the proceeds to the Wangan & Jagalingou people whose land is where Adani wants to mine. 
They have taken them to court and need our support.  Main Image: Canadian Tar Sands Healing Walk – Aboriginal elders lead procession under a banner reading “Stop the Destruction Start the Healing”.

Today we're travelling to the Galilee basin in Central Qld, to the country of the Wangan and Jagalingou peoples, where Adani Mining is proposing to mine coal in what would be the southern hemisphere's biggest coal mine. Adani has just been promised 1bn of Federal infrastructure funding. Hear from Murrawah Johnson, a young spokesperson of the Wangan and Jagalingu Family Council. As well as Kumar Sundaram, of the Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament in Delhi, India, regarding Adani's corrupt and irresponsible behaviour in its home country.  

Oil giant BP has withdrawn plans to explore for oil in the Great Australian Bight. After several years, the surprise announcement has thrilled local and national campaigns working to protect this pristine stretch of ocean. The Bight is home to 36 species of dolphins and whales, and is an important breeding ground for southern right whales and endangered Australian sea-lions. Amidst the increasing chaos of global warming, public opposition has focused on the detrimental effects of the extraction and burning of yet more fossil fuels.Hear a snippet from the Wangan and Jagalingou people fighting against Adani's proposed coalmine on their beautiful country in the Galilee Basin, Queensland.Also, how do you clean a camel out of a rock hole?Guests:Breony Carbines, Clean Bight AllianceAunty Sue Coleman-Haseldine, Clean Bight AllianceWangan and Jagalingou Family Council audio ​Image: a white Southern Right Whale calf with mother in the Great Australian Bight- Murdoch University. Earth Matters #1058 was produced by Gem Romuld.

The rush to get coal out of the ground and into hungry Asian energy markets has sparked a building boom in coal export terminals. Host Adrienne Fitch Frankel talks with Margaret Gordon of the West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project about Oakland's proposed coal port expansion; and with Julian Vincent of Market Forces and indigenous activists Wangan and Jagalingou who are fighting coal export terminals in Australia.
