Abbot Point & Galilee Basin Projects - Myths and Facts

Abbot Point & Galilee Basin Projects - Myths and Facts We Support the opening of the Galilee Basin and the projects associated with it. From the expansion at Abbot Point to the building of the mines and railway!

This page will share the truth and de-bunk the lies. Myths versus Facts. This explains who we are. This is why we are Fighting. We are Fighting for our Region , our Industries, our Jobs, our Businesses!! We are not affiliated with any group, political party or industry. We have not received any funding from any outside group or individual – none whatsoever!! We are a kitchen table group

of citizens concerned about what is happening across rural and regional Australia, and especially our local area of Bowen and Surrounds, by the harm being done by the anti coal activist organizations and their followers. We are surprised and alarmed by how the Anti Coal movement is now in bed with some industries. Such as Wind and Solar. And how they are also very heavily involved with some parts of the Government. We are dismayed that people have been forced to sell homes or have lost their livelihoods because of tax-payer funded environmental organizations telling lies, misinformation and using delaying tactics to try and kill the coal industry. We are angered by the scope of the anti coal fraud. We are not convinced at the efficacy or efficiency of their answer to Coal, such as Wind and Solar. We are not collectively climate-change “deniers”. We are not NIMBYs. We are appalled by how anti coal supporters dismiss victims, ridicule those who have different opinions and vilify those who support the coal industry.. We are appalled by the dishonesty of the anti coal environmental organizations, its supporters and those who operate within it. We are disappointed that so many everyday Australians have been conned by these eco terrorists and have not had the get up and go to go and do some real research into the truth. And, lastly, we do care about the Environment and our Great Barrier Reef. We are not fooled by the lies and scaremongering. This is why we are fighting so hard. And, we will never GIVE UP!!

Statement from Bravus Mining

"Some breaking news – we’re taking the Queensland Government to the Planning and Environment court to fight a clear misuse of the state’s environmental laws.

We have applied for a review of a 2023 Department of Environment, Science, and Innovation decision to impose a punitive Environmental Protection Order on our business despite the fact no environmental harm or breach of regulations had occurred at our Carmichael mine in central Queensland.

The Carmichael mine has some of the strictest environmental conditions of any resources project in Australia’s history and we’re proud to comply with those approvals. We don’t need unnecessary regulator overreach when the requirements of our comprehensive Environmental Authority (EA) approvals are already being met.

It’s not okay for regulators to unfairly target law abiding businesses and make us out to be villains when we had already publicly committed to the further scientific work that this EPO relates to.
It appears the Department is simply buckling to pressure from anti-fossil fuel activists and their supporters in the media who’ll do and say anything to shut Queensland’s coal and gas sector down.

An Environmental Protection Order should not be used to apply punitive regulation to businesses that are doing the right thing and already meeting all the requirements of the Department’s own regulations, and it’s decisions like this that make Queenslanders lose faith in the Queensland Government’s willingness to treat responsible businesses fairly.

Bravus Mining and Resources is taking the Queensland Government to the Planning and Environment Court to fight a clear misuse of the state’s environmental laws.

Fun fact: There is a reason why Bowen Rail Company has curved wagons (and it's not just because they look good)! The wagons have curved sides with a smooth finish because the curved design is a shape that gets stronger when carrying a load - very important as we're moving a lot of coal. The outside of the wagons is smooth, while the inside has ribbing, which also helps with the strength of the wagons when they are loaded. 👍
