Current methods of wastewater treatment are costly and time-consuming, but Australia’s national science agency CSIRO has developed a new technology which uses the contaminants within the water to treat it and is fast gaining momentum. We find out why it is not only cheaper and quicker than conventional methods, but also more environmentally sound.
We also find out why coal production is soaring in Queensland despite falling prices, find out how equipment suppliers can stay on top in a time of declining business and speak to Ecologia Environment about assessing the impact of mining on vulnerable ecosystems.
Moreover, we take a look at the Maules Creek controversy to find out whether operator Idemitsu went too far in spying on environmental protestors at the project and gather a roundtable of recruitment experts to get an insight on the current job market.

Adani’s controversial Carmichael project may one day make Queensland home to one of the world’s biggest coal mines, but at great cost to the environment.
