Coal communities of the Hunter are demanding that 5% of royalties or at least $150m per year, be used for worker transition plans and environmental accountability of mining companies.

Right now, over 56,000 hectares of public native forest in the Richmond Valley and southern Richmond Range are still being logged — even though they’re home to nationally important Koala habitat and more than 130 threatened species. Sign the petition calling on the NSW Government to end native forest logging and create the Richmond River Koala Parks.
Protect Callan Park from privatisation and secure its future for community use
