FOOD OR FUEL: CAN WE HAVE
OUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO?
2:30pm Sat 21 May / Auditorium 1 State Library at Ideas Festival
Queensland is a state rich in natural
resources enabling a booming mining and
energy trade. However tensions are rising.
As populations continue to grow demand is
increasing for food and energy production.
The mining of coal and coal seam gas
often results in the destruction of arable
land outraging farmers and community
members alike. Join Drew Hutton founder
of the Queensland Greens parties and
Rob McCreath President of community
group Friends of Felton to discuss
the conflicts and solutions in
the food or fuel debate.
