“Australia’s then minister for environment (& energy), Josh Frydenberg, was to be completely stacked with coal & mining executives.”
“According to Freedom of Information (FoI) documents obtained in the US by the environmental group Sierra Club,”
“not one single environmental group or organisation was to be invited to the dinner to honour the head of the US Environment Protection Agency (EPA), Scott Pruitt, on his planned visit to Australia in September 2017.”
“Representatives of Glencore, Peabody, BHP and Whitehaven Coal and representatives from the Minerals Council of Australia (MCA) were on the proposed guest list for the dinner.”
“The MCA’s representatives were to include its then chair, Vanessa Guthrie (current director of the ABC and Santos) and its then chief executive Brendan Pearson, now a senior adviser with Prime Minister Scott Morrison.”
“There has been speculation that Pearson was the likely source of the lump of coal that Morrison brandished in parliament in 2017.
