This is an important book because mining and selling coal cannot be part of Australia’s future as a country. - Peter Doherty
The Coal Truth has arrived at the exactly the right time for a country at the cross roads. This intimate, compelling and deeply layered reflection lays out what is at stake for Australians and the planet as a massive expansion of coal mining - starting with the controversial Adani project - threatens to turbo charge climate change. Compulsory reading. - Peter Garrett
We are smack bang in the middle of a defining moment in history.The Coal Truthshows that we still have the chance to create something wonderful out of the crisis and leave no person behind in the process. Get this book. - Damon Gameau
