As bushfires rage across the country, the Queensland government is considering a secret deal with Adani that could mean the coal corporation pockets hundreds of millions of dollars of public money for its climate-wrecking mine.
Analysis by The Australia Institute shows Adani’s special coal royalty deal could be worth between $250 and $700 million dollars. The Palaszczuk Government has refused to reveal the terms of this shady arrangement, claiming it’s too confidential for us to know about.
Our elected representatives have a responsibility to create a future where our communities, reef and wildlife thrive, not prop up dirty coal.
Add your name to this open letter to send the Premier a clear message — no dirty royalty deal for Adani:
“Dear Premier,
During the last Queensland election you promised there would be no public money for Adani’s climate-wrecking coal mine.
If Adani’s mine goes ahead it would unleash billions of tonnes of pollution, at a time when we must rapidly phase out coal and take urgent action on the climate crisis.
We ask you to keep your election promise and not cut a special royalty deal with Adani.”

Put principle ahead of power.
short term money for long term destruction, please, no thank you.
Act Now. Do not betray our children.
Adani will do nothing but destroy. It’s as simple as that. Don’t let it go ahead.
This destructive mine should not proceed Premier. WE are in a Climate Emergency around the nation right now and you must show leadership and stop the bloody Adani Mine and the mine Clive Palmer would like to build.

Its pathetic we have to fight so hard against greedy dirty coal diggers with the world in a full on climare crisis. People power verses greedy corporations n govt. On we go troops ✊✊✊
Premier, please do all within your power to halt the Adani juggernaut (well) before the choice to do so evaporates. Please meditate upon the potential cost of allowing this company to use and pollute large amounts of water from the Great Artesian Basin . . .
Are election promises worth anything anymore?
Not one cent should be spent on Adani. And that includes allowing royalty deals, because it still costs the state money.
