'Shut it down' - Green Group slams Hail Creek Coal min expansion

A list-snuff production.

Hey, it's Laura Petchgrou, the state government's given the go-ahead to Glencaw's Hail Creek

coal mine expansion, southwest of Mackay.

Canberra now gets the final say.

The Australian Conservation Foundation's Adam Bant believes it should be knocked back.

It should be shut down and cleaned up, not given a license to expand.

A push for a new ammo station at Pioneer Valley continues.

The community has gathered 1,600 signatures, and Marrani MP Glenkelly has joined the push

after inviting rural fire service volunteers to discuss how to improve bushfire preparedness.

And to sport, the Mackay cutters will watch on from the sidelines, with the bay in round

two of the host plus cup, and the Cowboys coach says mindset is everything.

A head of tomorrow's class against the Tigers.

Todd Payton has instructed Deedin and Clifford to dig into the line this week to help Scott

drink water returning from injury.
