The construction project at the Gunnedah Bassin known as the Maules creek project means that there will be forest which will be destroyed to make place for coal mining. Being a member of the local forest conservation society, it would be difficult to ignore the impacts on wildlife. However the managing director, Tony Haggarty said that stringent environmental conditions have been applied by the commission and that it is one of the best coal developments in the world (Go ahead for one of world’s largest coal mines 2012). The project would not be accepted because of reasons which will be mentioned later on. The essay will mention about the three ethics and concentrate more on the selected ethic which is moral rights ethic. Moral rights is an ethical decision that best maintains and protects the fundamental rights and privileges (freedom, life, safety, privacy, free speech, freedom of conscience) of the people affected by it(Lecture 3,Week3). In the case of the construction project, people are free to show that they are against the constructions as this will worsen the environment. Bradshaw, J.A Corey et al point out that coal exports are Australia’s biggest contribution to climate change and that Australians are suffering its impacts now (Let’s talk about coal). Thus, the environmental aspects of the project should be taken into consideration as in justice ethic. Justice is an ethical decision that distributes benefits and harms among stakeholders in a fair, equitable or impartial way (Three ethic model,pg 148). In the case of the construction project, coal types which will be obtained will be of high quality, low ash, low sulphur and low phosphorus semi-soft coking coal (Maules Creek Project). These types of coal means that there will be less of greenhouse effect from the project. Utilitarian ethic is an ethical decision is one that produces the
