Tell the Labor Government: Don't mine Takayna rainforest for Trump's war machine

"Mined for the war machine?
Mount Lindsay is under threat of being ripped open for a tungsten mine to supply the US war machine. Tungsten hardens steel for tanks, armour and armour-piercing munitions, and makes lethal, indiscriminate scattering warheads that have killed civilians, including children and infants."
"A back door through environment laws
Reforms to federal environment law in 2025 allow National Interest Exemptions for projects deemed necessary for strategic or defence purposes. Two have already been granted to Alcoa in WA’s Jarrah forests to produce Gallium for US missile systems. The parallels to Mount Lindsay are unmistakable."
