A class action filed by a group of eight young Aussies which argued Federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley has a duty of care to protect young people from climate change has been overturned by the Federal Court.
Per the ABC, this new ruling means the class action launched in 2020 by a group of teenagers has been walked back and the protection of young Aussies no longer needs to be a consideration for the environment minister when assessing new fossil fuel projects like coal mine expansions.
