Adani is an environmental health risk we can't afford

No matter what you think of the merits of digging a massive new coal mine in the centre of Queensland, there’s one thing we must not forget about Adani’s proposed Carmichael coal mine in the election wash-up. It is a high-risk project proposed by a company which has failed to follow the law on numerous occasions and they have never been subjected to a proper background check for their Queensland approvals.
Labor's political opponents seized on the
 Adani issue throughout the campaign.
As reported on Friday, CFMMEU Queensland construction division state secretary Michael Ravbar has warned   Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk that Queenslanders “risk being taken for a ride by a shonky multinational with a chequered corporate history”. His concerns are well-founded.
