Stopping the Australian Coal Export Boom - Funding proposal for the Australian anti-coal movement

‘The activists’ stated objective is to shut down Australia's export coal and gas industries,’
The Battle of Galilee is happening right now.
What this looks like: The coal ports at Abbot Point and Dudgeon Point are both next to the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and there are strong opportunities for alliance building with scientists and industries that think that they will be negatively impacted (fishing, tourism, etc).
The Great Barrier Reef is a convenient and emotional leverage for the campaign.

Activists are ignoring the scientific evidence and blatantly peddling the line to Australian and international audiences that port developments, dredging and shipping are endangering the reef.
There is no dredging of coral reefs or seagrass and no disposal of dredge spoil on coral reefs, seagrass or other environmentally sensitive areas.
Neither an increase in shipping traffic nor port dredging has been scientifically recorded as contributing to coral cover loss or a historical decline in the environmental health of the Great Barrier Reef.
The scientific work into the ongoing environmental management of the Great Barrier Reef is no secret, and that is why we are asking Australians to learn more from the Queensland Government’s Reef Facts website.
