The country's top legal officer, George Brandis, wants to put big polluters above the law. The Attorney General described a legal case GetUp members funded, which overthrew approval for Adani's disastrous Carmichael monster mine, as "lawfare" and "vigilante litigation".1 Now, he's intent on changing the law to stop us fighting projects like this in the future.

Brandis is ramping up the attack that Tony Abbott and the Minerals Council of Australia started when they accused the thousands of Australians who funded the case of "sabotage" and "rat-baggery".2,3 The Attorney General wants to amend the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC Act) to remove the power of community groups to lawfully protest projects that threaten to destroy our environment and exacerbate global warming.

This is an outrageous attack on democracy and the community's right to defend the environment from destructive projects such as Adani's Carmichael coal mine.

Can you call George Brandis' office to say the Abbott Government can't put big polluters above the law?
