URGENT: One billion dollars in public funding could be used to prop up Adani's giant polluting coal mine!
PM Malcolm Turnbull appears to be preparing to give multinational mining company Adani $1 billion of public money to fund a coal-carting railway line from the Galilee Basin to the Great Barrier Reef coast.
Media reports say the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility (NAIF) funds are earmarked for the project.
During the election, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said – on camera – that there would be no public funding for Adani's mine.
We are holding him to that promise. And we don’t want this mega-polluting coal mine.
Billionaire polluter Gautam Adani has met the Prime Minister recently.
When Mr Adani puts on the hard word, we need Malcolm Turnbull to know – we won't accept giving a billion dollars of public funding to a billionaire's company creating billions of tonnes of pollution.
Mr Adani has a mining licence, but he has no social licence.
Sign the petition calling on Malcolm Turnbull to put Adani's requests for publicly-funded subsidies in the bin.
Together, let's call for our money to be invested in clean energy, not wrecking the Great Barrier Reef.
Prime Minister Turnbull, during the election you said there would be no public funding for Adani. Adani's Reef-killing coal mine is not public infrastructure. Don’t waste public money on it.

Mr Turnbull, please ensure that Adani do not receive any kind of loan from Australia. Please stop this damaging coal mine from going ahead. It is not in the best interests of Australia, or of Queenslanders, who would be better served and are well placed, for the short and long term future, to develop a flourishing alternative non polluting energies technologies, perhaps becoming world leaders in these areas which are quite clearly the way of the future, Regards, Lyn Breen
Sick of these CORPORATE INFILTRATORS posing as our GOVT.!! Australia and its Reaources are for the benefit of the AUSTRALIAN PEOPLE & No one else.!!
Coal mining should be phased out not expanded. Protect our natural environment
As a citizen of Australia it is our most important duty to protect the reef and discontinue the use of coal as a source of energy!
It would be truly irresponsible to give taxpayer money toward what will inevitably fast become a stranded asset. In addition, it is insanity to entrust influence over our Great Barrier Reef’s health to an international company with an appallingly bad environmental track record.
Australia does not need another coal mine, especially one that can threaten the Great Barrier Reef and the thousands of jobs that the Reef provides. Invest the money in renewable energy and create jobs that way.
Enough is Enough.
No more money to foreigners
Look after Australia first.
Look after Australians first.
Stop selling our bloody country soon there will be none that actually belongs to Australia
They cant control Indias smog problems and they are coming here to start mining coal and sending to the Gt Barrier Reef to transport to India?? Are our Govt mad as well as greedy. Stop this now.
