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.”

Premier, the world is burning. Are you going to be part of the solution or partially responsible for the destruction of our beautiful planet?
WHY WHY would any government consider doing business with a man know as an environmental vandal and why why would you allow mining in the GAB, I’m a Labor voter but so disillusioned with Labor don’t sell your souls to destroy our planet
No money in any shape or form for that person’s mine AT ALL
This will not makes jobs but will again let our land be sold to overseas investors. It’s about time Morrison and his party woke up and all the other politicians who should remember they are paid by the tax payer!!
One Family is one of the 64,000 people whose livelihoods depend upon a healthy Great Barrier Reef . We implore you to not make decisions that will destroy our jobs and one of the world’s greatest treasures! Don’t sell us out for political donations!
I don’t want a criminally negligent corporation that wrecked India being given a free pass to wreck Australia.
Look around
Enough is enough. We don’t need more negative enviromental impact.
No new coal mines . We have drought and bushfires. If he needs subsidies it’s obviously not viable . The buck stops with you . I will hold you personally responsible if the Gt Artesian Basin is affected and will take legal action accordingly .
You gotta not do this mine!
We don’t need to support Me Adani in his ventures!!..
He is wealthy enough to support himself!!
Don’t spend Queensland tax dollars on a spoilt billionaire, there are much more worthy causes that need that support!!
😁
We are in a state of emergency.
It is time for all leaders, all corporations and all citizens to take responsibility and choose conservation and environmental preservation over corporate profit. This mine belongs to last century and it is unthinkable that any current day government or leader would even consider supporting it, in any way.
Revoke the royalty deal with Adani or loose at the next election.
Absolutely disgraceful. Adani, a company which should not be here, f9r a project no financial intuition would fund, and will only hurt all Australians in the long run. Shame on you
