Midnight Oil Continues To Warn The World About Environmental Terrorists Adani

by Paul Cashmere on November 1, 2017

in News

Midnight Oil wants fans to urgently sign the petition against environmental terrorists Adani who the Australian government is giving carte blanche to cause irreversible damage.

In a post the Oils’ spread the word:

Right now, Adani is itching to dig one of the biggest coal mines in the world in Queensland. If it goes ahead, burning coal from the megamine would generate billions of tonnes of pollution, fuel global warming and irreversibly damage our Great Barrier Reef.

Sign the petition hosted by our mates over at the Australian Conservation Foundation to put an end to this disastrous plan >> www.acf.org.au/oils

In October members of Midnight Oil sailed to the Great Barrier Reef to unveil a ‘Coral Not Coal’ banner at Viasoff Sand Cay in the middle of the reef.

As a further part of these efforts the Oils performed and recorded a special benefit gig at the Tank Arts Centre on Friday night. All proceeds from the show went to local research organisation https://www.greatbarrierreeflegacy.org/ who helped organise the sand cay expedition aboard local charter boats Aroona and Flying Fish.

Other environmental groups also had a strong presence at the Tanks gig including the Australian Marine Conservation Society whose efforts to stop the Adani coal mine include this petition which the band urged all attendees to sign on the night: https://www.fightforourreef.org.au/midnightoil/

The Midnight Oil Australian tour heads to Hobart tonight.

The Damned released the first ever UK punk single, “New Rose” off album Damned, Damned, Damned, in 1976, and were often overshadowed by their English punk counterparts. Now in their late sixties and still touring world-wide, featuring the original line up of Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies and Paul Gray, they are the ones having the last laugh and have left their old rivals for dead, in certain respects, quite literally!
