Hilary Kuhn signed 2014-12-23 05:34:08 +1000How could you even consider financing the destruction of such valuable wetlands? This is not ignorance but only blatant environmental vandalism.

Meredith Ziegler signed 2014-08-12 16:48:39 +1000As a long standing customer of Westpac (over 20 years) I would be incredibly disappointed to know that as a business Westpac was supporting the expansion of Abbot Point.
On the Westpac website there is a picture of people scuba diving a reef (see "reach your goals faster with personal loans’). The CEO acknowledes the impact of climate change. Additionally, Westpacs has an aim of assisting customers to transition to a low carbon econmy. Westpac claims to factor in environmental considerations into its lending and investment decisions thorughthe ESG.
Consequently, unless this is all just PR spin, Westpac should not invest in such a project.
Globally there is no long term futuer in coal.
