A Queensland nickel refinery owned by Clive Palmer has been dumping toxic wastewater into the Great Barrier Reef — even though the refinery was forbidden from doing so. As if breaking the law weren’t enough, Palmer is refusing to remove the pipe that spews toxic water into the reef.
Now, he is telling the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority that he will sue them for $6.4 billion if it continues what he perceives as “obstructionist” behavior. Despite all of this, no civil or criminal proceedings have been taken against Clive Palmer or his company.
Tell Clive Palmer and his nickel refinery to stop polluting the reef and pay to clean up the damage.
