A Hunter Valley coal mine that this week secured the intervention of the #NSW premier @ChrisMinnsMP to allow a controversial expansion is targeting children in marketing materials spruiking coal.

This sort of nonsense has to stop.
The @NewcastleJetsFC and every Jets supporter should be deeply embarrassed by the club’s behaviour.
Don’t want journos writing about unpaid debts? Pay your bills.
And a stronger, less invisible APL would tell the Jets to pull their head in.
The Herald's coverage of the Jets may look a little different in the coming weeks. bit.ly/4hXaltv

By far the most prominent and tragic victim of Australia’s declining snow seasons is snow gums. My book on their demise, and the people trying to stop it, is out next week. It’s an occasionally bleak but surprisingly upbeat story which I co-wrote with a woman half my age. Enjoy!
