Never underestimate the power of music

Ecopella Choir members arrested

Singers from the Ecopella Choir are being arrested after protesting to call on the government to protect Leard State Forest, the surrounding Maules Creek community and the planet from coal mine expansion.

 'Never underestimate the power of music to disarm and calm' comments a twitter respondent.

'Never underestimate the power of music to inspire to action', appears to be the case for the Ecopella Choir.

In the meantime we read that the head of corporate affairs for a mining company at the centre of an environmental dispute has been in charge of developing policy on the environment for Queensland's ruling Liberal National Party (LNP) since 2012.
