I wonder how they calculate the offset for this?

A mining company with no prior experience, Bowdens, wants to build an open cut lead mine in the famous Mudgee region, 2km from a primary school. The community is rightfully concerned. The Government says ‘trust us.’ www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

If you are looking at how to support the community to protect the beautiful Mudgee region and our kids from an open cut lead mine, here’s how: chuffed.org/project/1482... Prevention is always better than the cure.

Last thing we need is more lead poisoning:

After burying a critical health report in lead mines and children’s blood lead levels for 4 years, the EPA wants the Mudgee community to trust it to protect kids from the Bowdens lead mine proposal. #RegulatoryCapture #LeadFreeMudgee www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

"This decision is a slap in the face. It allows Woodside to continue operations and pollution to 2070. It is a crime against Murujuga and a crime against humanity” - Mardathoonera Traditional Custodian Raelene Cooper www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Murray Watt announcing that he has approved the extension and expansion of the North West Shelf gas project. This will allow Woodside to continue producing and exporting fossil gas until 2070.

The Albanese majority Labor govt adds yet another liability to a future lawsuit on the "internationally wrongful act" of permitting continued fossil fuel production #ICJAdvisoryOpinion (excerpt screen captured from a presentation by @elainejohnson.bsky.social)

Australia should take note. #capturedstate #fossilcriminals #auspol #wapol

A presentation by @elainejohnson.bsky.social yesterday pointed to the exact paragraph (427) in the ICJ Advisory Opinion that spells out how continued fossil fuel production gives rise to liability The Albanese Labor govt has so far approved 32🤯 new/extensions of Coal & Gas projects #LaborValues

There's no way the Bowdens project near #Mudgee can be approved on an outdated EIS and SEARS and without considering this report. The disgraceful contempt for communities and for due process has been revealed in all its ugliness. ##LeadFreeMudgee #nswpol #auspol

A bloody brilliant win 🙌🏼 @elainejohnson.bsky.social

Bureaucrats don't care about children. Esp those in regional and rural Australia.

It's obscene

Negligent!

A critical report on the impacts of lead mining on children’s blood lead levels was hidden from the public for four years. In that time, a Parliamentary Inquiry hearing on lead mining was held in the Mudgee region, and the Bowdens lead mine in Mudgee was approved. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

Bowdens near Mudgee has to show no lead will escape their operations 😏 or a bit of lead in kids' blood is, you know, ok..... #LeadFreeMudgee #nswpol, #auspol

The NSW EPA kept a report on impacts of lead mining on children’s blood lead levels for four years from the public while it worried about what the mining companies would think. #RegulatoryCapture #LeadFreeMudgee www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Front page news in The Land: Right now, there is a proposal for an open cut lead mine in the beautiful Mudgee region. It would be 2km from a primary school, in the middle of prime agricultural land and one of Australia’s top tourist destinations. #LandUseConflict www.theland.com.au/story/905792...

One of the firefighters arrested is an Oregonian. My office has been in touch with his lawyer who says he can't locate his client. My office is working to get more information on his whereabouts ASAP.

The proposal for an open cut greenfield lead mine in the middle of Mudgee’s food bowl, within 2km of a primary school, cannot be good planning policy by any stretch of the imagination. michaelwest.com.au/no-silver-li...

7NEWS Central West report on a proposed lead and silver mine near Mudgee, New South Wales, Australia: (shockingly, they don't appear to subtitle these newscasts, so I apologize as I always include subtitles where available to increase accessibility)

Food producers in the exquisite Mudgee region are seeking a lead mine exclusion zone to protect some of Australia’s best agricultural products, including Wagu cattle, fine wool sheep, and the famous Mudgee wine and honey brand. Lead and food production don’t mix. www.theland.com.au/story/903911...

Good grief, what is going on?

How could it possibly go wrong? 🤦‍♀️
