How Coal is killing Australia

• Date: Tuesday 15th October
• Time: 7.00pm sharp
• Venue: Armidale Town Hall, Rusden Street, Armidale NSW

Guest speakers on the night include:

• Sharyn Munro, author of Rich Land, Wasteland—How coal is killing Australia
• Jonathan Moylan – environmental campaigner
• Phil Laird—Farmer and Gunnedah Basin health impact Assessment Steering committee member

Rich Land Wasteland is an exposé on the true costs of coal mining and coal seam gas on our communities in Australia. On a nearly year-long trip Sharyn discovered that towns and districts are dying. Homeowners and farmers are being forced out by mining—broken in spirit and in health. Once reliable rivers and aquifers are drying up or becoming polluted. Once fertile agricultural land is becoming unusable. What was once a rich land is becoming a wasteland.

Sharyn’s talk will be followed by Jonathan Moylan a environmental campaigner and Phil Laird a Gunnedah farmer and member of the Gunnedah Basin Health Impact Assessment Steering Committee.

Signed copies of books available for purchase on the night.
