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. If you think that giving Adani 1billion dollars whilst attacking and hurting the most vulnerable in our society- namely the poor. The age pensioners, disability pensioners and the single mothers pension is ok, then you have seriously lost touch with the Australian people.
Malcolm – No, no, no and NO!
Stop destroying how state and the environment please.
To even think of giving them tax payers money after reading they are under investigation in India?? I find it damn incomprehensible
If the project is profitable then they can pay for the railway line themselves. This project is one forward thinking emission standard away from being dead
This is wrong on so many levels: Support the renewable energy industry instead of polluting coal; protect the Great Barrier Reef coast, just for starters.
It’s obscene that these governments will allow this for a couple of thousand jobs and at the same time ruin the Queensland tourist industry that employs tens of thousands.
I have to to pay GBRMPA fees to look after the reef…most of which is in a terrible state already. You want to destroy it some more?
Disgraceful government and environmental management.
This money should be spent on an Australian owned and operated company with workforce in Australia (not outsourced overseas) and to create a more sustainable renewable energy sector. Particularly in light of today’s news that 2016 was the hottest year on record.
We used to be the “clever country”. What happened?
Invest in renewables not criminals who destroy our country! keep your promises !!!
