FLY WITH A QUEENSLANDER

In this significant next step of the landmark case, hearings will take place so community members can give evidence.

The court will tour the islands to witness the climate damage already occurring: the cultural sites, food supplies, homes and ways of life already in jeopardy.

The Court will hear from witnesses about their connection to their islands and the consequences if their homelands are lost.

Uncle Pabai and Uncle Paul are seeking court orders that require the Federal Government to take steps to prevent this harm to their communities, including cutting greenhouse gas emissions in line with the best available science.

The case is the first time anyone in Australia has argued the whole of the Federal government has a duty to protect people from climate change.

Hearing dates, for community layevidence are:

• Boigu 5-7 June

• Badu 8-9 June

• Saibai 12-14 June

• Cairns 15 June – TBC
