Sunday night - what a great time to go through the New Hope Group's Sustainability Report and get furious.

The Bengalla Mining Company is part of the New Hope Group and mines thermal coal...this has to stop. But they don't wanna, so part of their strategy to keep operating is handing cash to community groups and then taking credit for nice things.

Bengalla coal mine sponsors a Blueheeler Film Festival. The company gets to have a representative on the film judging panel. And get thanked profusely as if there could be no blueheelers and/or film festivals about blueheelers without them.

I've become sadly accustomed to #SportsWashing #ArtsWashing and #GreenWashing generally, but this #BlueyWashing is the limit.
