Today on Earth Matters we speak to various South Australian based activists about the campaign to stop BP's plan to drill for oil in the Great Australian Bight's pristine ocean environment. Just five years on from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, BP are completing their Environment Plan and are hoping to begin exploratory drilling next year but South Australians are banding together to stop them. Today we'll hear some of those voices.

An update on the campaign to stop the Adani's proposal for a coal mine on Wangan Jagalingou country in the Gallillee Basin in QLD. Last week Mackay Conservation Group won a Federal Court case challenging the legality of 'so called' Environment Minister Greg Hunt's approval for the Carmichael  mine.    As a successful divestment campaign sees more financial institutions walking away from Adani, the future of the project is looking increasingly shaky.
Guests: Sue Higginson -Environmental Defenders Office ofNSW, Ellen Roberts - Mackay Conservation Council, Moira Williams - 350.org. Presenter: Michaela Stubbs
