AgForce Queensland Farmers initiates legal action against Glencore's waste disposal plan in the Great Artesian Basin.
AgForce Queensland Farmers, a key farmer representative body, is pursuing legal action in the Federal Court against Glencore's plan to pump industrial waste into Australia's largest freshwater resource, the Great Artesian Basin. The group is seeking a judicial review of the Federal Environment Department's decision on February 9th, 2022, which exempted Glencore's proposal from being classified as a matter of national environmental significance under the EPBC Act. This is the first time AgForce has taken legal action, underlining the severity of the situation.
