There's no way we can go back to 'business as usual' after this crisis. ‘Business as usual’ for Western Sydney is endless summers of heatwaves and bushfires.

We have to fight to make the changes needed for a sustainable recovery, one that ensure a clean and safe future for all.

This is su***de. We have to stop it.

Around a third of Greater Western Sydney has been burned in the catastrophic bushfires and summer is just starting.

Climate change is a justice issue, here and now. Communities of colour are on the frontline and all we're seeing from our political leaders is more delaying and denial.

Working with Adani is bad business 👎

This climate cooking mine has seen partners pull out as community pressure mounts and fossil fuel projects continue to be bad investments into the future

Insurers (AXIS Capital), the big four Aussie banks, engineering firms (Aurecon), multinational investment banks (Rothschild & Co) are just some of entities that aren't willing to work with Adani 🛑

Now the multinational engineering firm GHD Group is feeling the heat 🔥

'The ABC has also seen emails from management to staff responding to internal and external criticisms of GHD's work with Adani as well as a list of projects GHD has done for Adani.

Two senior engineers at GHD said the company went into crisis mode over internal unrest over GHD's involvement with Adani.

They said the issue dominated water-cooler discussions for weeks and was unique over at least the past 15 years, with no other issue causing as much concern for GHD staff.

They said the internal disquiet was triggered first by protests outside GHD events and offices in March and then amplified after charity Engineers Without Borders terminated a long-standing partnership between it and GHD over the firm's work for Adani's Carmichael coal mine in August.'

This October 31st, let GHD know that working with Adani is absolutely cooked at your local Halloween action💀!

Leaks from one of Adani's most significant contractors for its Carmichael coal mine, engineering firm GHD, show it has been rocked by internal dissent and management has been bombarded with complaints and questions about its work on the mine.
