DEBATE between protesters and the mining industry over a proposed fourth coal loader in Newcastle raged throughout the weekend. Saturday saw an estimated 1500 people march through Newcastle to protest against the proposed terminal because of concerns about pollution, health, increased mining, climate change and impact on Kooragang Island. Protesters cried "one, two three, four, no to T4" and carried a large "King Coal" puppet during the demonstration. After the rally, the NSW Minerals Council launched its Land Use Facts campaign.
