  • Coal Threatens Reef and Community
    114 Boundary Street Railway Estate, Townsville Qld, 4810 PO Box 364, Townsville Ph: 61 07 47716226 [email protected] www.nqcc.org.au MEDIA RELEASE 8 April 2013 Coal threatens reef and community With the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior arriving in Townsville next Friday as part of its campaign to draw world attention to the impacts of Australia’s coal industry on climate change and the Great Barrier Reef, North Queensland Conservation Council (NQCC) is warning of the impact of turning Townsville port into a coal export facility. “Shipping coal through Townsville will have direct and indirect impacts on the Great Barrier Reef “ said NQCC Coordinator Wendy Tubman. “It would result in more ships travelling the reef, with the increased risk of collisions and pollution of the waters and it would also exacerbate climate change – according to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, the greatest risk to the already degraded reef. “But, on top of this, there is also the health risks to the community of Townsville. Unlike other ports, Townsville’s port is slap bang in the middle of town. And areas suitable for stockpiling coal are a mere six kilometres downwind of the CBD. “We have seen the health impacts of coal dust down south. In Newcastle there is huge community unrest and now a government inquiry into air quality. In Brisbane, Mackay and Bowen we are seeing similar concern. “People living in coastal Townsville are already subject to the well-known black sticky dust that settles in and on homes around the CBD. They sure as eggs, won’t want coal dust on top of that.” Ms Tubman also pointed to the work done by JCU researcher Kathy Burns in mapping the drift of coal dust from Abbot Point, just north of Bowen out to the outer reef.

In each of the seven operas in the study, a character becomes the signifier of reflections on events and conditions that affect Australian society. The works selected are Andrew Schultz's Black River, Gillian Whitehead's The Bride of Fortune, Moya Henderson's Lindy - The Trial Scene, Richard Mills' Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, Alan John's The Eighth Wonder, Martin Wesley-Smith's Quito and Colin Bright's The Sinking of the Rainbow Warrior. These operas are studied in three groups to investigate issues that concern voices of women in the contemporary operatic genre, issues of cultural identity and issues of political protest.
