Campaigner who forced Netherlands to cut emissions by 25% says Australia 'far worse'

The one-time employee with Shell says her legal team will offer its expertise to Australian climate activists and that the country needs to do its fair share

The campaigner who helped bring landmark legal action to force the Netherlands to change its climate change policies says the Australian government is "far worse".

Marjan Minnesma, who is in Australia meeting with legal groups that are investigating the possibility of running similar actions, has called on corporate and political leaders to re-examine their "highly immoral" adherence to a coal-based energy sector.
