Without the EDO using the courts to force fossil fuel giants to obey the law they will poison our air, land and waters with impunity.
“The EDO is an environmental legal centre that runs litigation and offers legal support in climate change and environment cases.”
“Mr Dutton's commitment follows a pledge by the LNP in Queensland to pull state funding for the EDO if it wins the next election.”

Dutton commits to defunding Environmental Defenders Office under Coalition government https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-01-30/dutton-commits-to-defunding-environmental-defenders-office/103403866 #auslaw #auspol #environment #climate #advocacy #activism #EDO
Climate Protesters are facing jail time in Australia. This is so warped. I totally agree with the statement made by one of the accused:
“I see the government as criminals here, not me,” he says. “And if I got jailed, I still wouldn’t see me as the criminal. They are the criminals.”
The environmental defenders office is a cause worthy of financial support and has had some success. Use this link to donate:
