Federal Labor feels the heat over Adani, and Coalition is sweating too

When it comes to the Adani Carmichael coalmine, the spotlight this week has been trained on Queensland as the state government battled an internal split on whether to give the project a royalties holiday.

 ‘One Labor figure puts the problem for his party this way:
