This is about the fate of the black throated finch as Adani is bulldozing some of its last natural habitat . Michael Kane from the Mackay Conservation Group challenges the legitimacy of using offsets to counter such habitat destruction. "Its not over yet" says Emma about the long battle to Stop Adani. She describes the ongoing prosecutions of Adani, campaigning to persuade companies not to take Adani contracts and community engagement for a just transition. We also go to Townsville where at dawn two Queensland women; Jo Bulmer and Wendy Tubman, locked themselves by the neck with D shaped bike locks to the gates of the pipe manufacturer Iplex. Along with 25 climate other change campaigners ,they were demanding that Iplex withdraw the tender it has submitted to supply pipes to Adani’s Carmichael coal project.Guests: Michael Kane, Emma Barrett: Mackay Conservation Group Links:"Adanis finch plan is approved just weeks after being sent back to the drawing board.
