First day in court! Please visit our Chuffed campaign, ‘Saving Bimblebox: Nature before Coal’. Watch our video, read our story, see what we need to raise funds for right now – and very importantly, share!
Hi friends of Bimblebox,
As you know, Clive Palmer’s Waratah Coal Company has applied for two of the last QLD government requirements for its huge Galilee Coal Project before it can commence mining.
The Bimblebox Alliance Inc. will fight these applications in the QLD Land Court, and we will do so alongside Youth Verdict, standing up for their human rights. The Environmental Defenders Office will provide legal services for both organisations.
Friday 19th June 2020 is our first day in Court, at the Directions Hearing. The battle has become very real. And we need your help to carry this fight through.
Please visit our Chuffed campaign, watch our video, read our story, give what you can, and find out just what we need you to help us raise funds for – an essential part of the battle for Bimblebox.
As Paola Cassoni, The Bimblebox Alliance President, has been in lockdown in northern Italy, caught up while visiting her elderly parents in early February, The Bimblebox Alliance members like myself, Sharyn Munro, have had to act here to save Bimblebox. Our wildlife need all the habitat they have left. Our grandchildren need all the help we can give to stop warming their planet!
In this ongoing battle we are also needing more help within The Bimblebox Alliance, with IT, social media and clerical/organisational skills especially. We are all volunteers. Why not join us?
Plus the Refuge itself needs helpers with capable country skills. Contact us if you think you can help in any way: bimblebox@gmail.com
We will be very grateful if you would share our Chuffed campaign with your friends and networks.
Spread the word in any way you can, share your outrage at what is proposed! Write to your local paper. See our website for information to help you. Visit us on Facebook and Twitter @BimbleboxNR and SHARE!
Thanks to you all for your support,
The Bimblebox Alliance Inc.
I think I* may have replied already because I was one of the first members of the Bimblebox Alliance Inc =- but I’m pretty sure that it wasn’t called THAT in those days.
Because of that, I’m pretty sure that I have already donated to this wonderful Campaign – by the way -why is it called “Chuffed”?
If you don’t have record of my payment – please let me know- and I’ll certainly send one very quickly. Love and cheers from Petra (often known as “KIP” )
Hi Petra,
This campaign for the specific purpose detailed on the Chuffed page only started on Friday. Chuffed is a free fundraising platform for groups like ours. Have checked under any of the names you gave and no record in this campaign of a donation. Please go to the Chuffed page to donate if you want to. Many thanks for your support overall!
