Yancoal

Voices for the Valley is a powerful documentary about the “small, but mighty”, community of Wollar, on the edge of Mudgee, in New South Wales, which has spent more than 20 years resisting the relentless damage of coal mining, reports Jim McIlroy.

Climate protesters chanted “Yancoal, No way! End mining coal today!” outside the company’s annual general meeting at Darling Harbour in Gadigal Country/Sydney. Jim McIlroy reports.

The Environmental Defenders Office and Lock the Gate Alliance said Glencore and Yancoal’s decision to withdraw one of two open-cut coal mine expansions in the Hunter Valley is good news, but not the end of the matter. Kerry Smith reports.
