The Australian government has given the OK for a huge underground coal mine. They made this project and it could produce 60 million tonnes of coal a year. This mine will become the most largest mine in the world. It will help provide electricity to 100 million people. However, the mine is located at The great Barrier reef. It is a world famous wonder of nature. They are also worried about plans that would allow the mining company to dredge material from the seabed. However, the Australian government say there will be strict rules to limit any damage.
I find this hard to believe that any Government would do this to a wonder of the world.
