For Immediate Release
The Land Court today rejected Xstrata's legal costs application against Friends of the Earth Brisbane, over their objection to the Wandoan mega coal mine.
Friends of the Earth spokesperson Dr Bradley Smith says their organisation is relieved by the decision. The costs application was expected to be for over half a million dollars, far above the resources of Friends of the Earth Brisbane, which is a small volunteer-run environment group.

On Friday 7 December the Gillard government will sign off on the framework for handing its power to make environmental decisions to state and territory governments. This is the biggest backward step for Australia's environment in decades. Endangered species and natural environments across the country will pay the price, just as Australia's forests and their wildlife have been decimated under the disastrous regime of Regional Forest Agreements.
