What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A community group successfully challenged a coal corporation's Mount Pleasant Optimisation Project in the Hunter Valley, with the high court agreeing that conditions aimed at reducing climate pollution had not been properly considered during the New South Wales approval. Less than two weeks later, Premier Chris Minns announced plans to introduce special legislation that would allow the same coal company to increase production at Mount Pleasant.
