I know Tony and Wendy well. They're good friends and long-time Greens, and they've spent decades fighting to protect the Hunter Valley they love. Today they took on the fossil fuel giants and got an important win.

This is huge. In a landmark ruling, the High Court has found planning authorities are required to consider the emissions caused by burning fossil fuels overseas – not just emissions from mining coal, oil and gas – when approving projects. #auspol #climate
