Today (Monday 3rd September), 13 Quit Coal activists have brought the truth about dirty coal to the attention of Victorians in spectacular fashion. Ted Baillieu is planning to turn Victoria into a brown coal quarry, which is predicted to triple our greenhouse gas emissions and contribute significantly to more bushfires, floods, extreme weather conditions and catastrophic climate change. Nine activists locked themselves onto the pillars of Parliament, whilst four others dropped a banner of the roof which had to be removed by Search and Rescue.

Flanked by his trusty team of reindeer and elves, Santa visited Melbourne with a simple question – do Victorians all want coal for Christmas? ‘I’m confused’, he told onlookers. ‘If you don't want coal for Christmas, why would Victoria have plans for a new coal fired power station HRL?’ Luckily, the people of Melbourne set Santa straight, signing up in droves to support a joint petition by Quit Coal and other environmental groups calling for No New Coal!
