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.

We have totally had enough of politicians thinking about another dollar over our future. Start thinking about the legacy of your time in Parliament and do something that will be looked back on favourably, as opposed to another politician that looked after big business.
Its for an overseas mob and most of the money will go to them not stay here just a few jobs for FIFO kiwi workers who take all our jobs anyhow
How about our federal and state government stop this ridiculous project right now and be remembered as long term visionaries who: halted a foreign corporation with a foul record from digging up a fossil fuel with a diminishing export value; while protecting a huge area of delicate and important terrestrial and marine environments; conserving our limited water resources; and not wasting a billion dollars of public money to create a mere handful of almost obsolete jobs? If there’s a billion dollars available to boost an untenable and dirty mining project, why not direct it into renewable energy initiatives and help create jobs and preserve Queensland’s wonderful natural heritage and the eco tourism industry?
I do not endorse my tax dollars being spent on a polluting industry with little or no future
Once it’s gone it’s forever !!!!
Stop thinking about yourself and money and think about the planets future.
I can see no benefit to Australia from this call mine. 2000 jobs, bullshit, that is only in Construction phase. Using controll room operators to radio control operate the haul trucks etc, maybe across 4 shifts 100-150 people, most will be office top heavy staff. Ron Hawkins ex coal miner
