Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has taken a further step toward opposing the proposed Queensland Adani coal mine as he starts campaigning for the Batman byelection, where Labor is fighting off a strong challenge from the Greens.
 |
| Bill Shorten said he had become increasingly sceptical of Adani in recent months. |
Shorten was appearing with Labor’s candidate Ged Kearney, who on Friday resigned as ACTU president to contest the byelection.
Shorten seized on a Guardian Australia report that said Adani put in “an altered laboratory report” when appealing a fine for contamination of wetlands near the Great Barrier Reef.
Shorten said he had become increasingly sceptical of Adani in recent months.
If Adani was “relying on false information, that mine does not deserve to go ahead”.
