BHP SHAFTED
Some irregular news for Third Degree listeners... BHP Billiton subsidiary Illawarra Coal has shelved a 30 year mining project south-east of Campelltown and instead put forward a proposal for a 62 000Ha conservation area. The surprise concession comes on the back of a scathing report by the NSW Planning Assessment Commission, and this morning Jessica Minshall catches up with Caroline Graham, vice-president of Rivers SOS, to reflect on the win.
