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.”

Adani piss off back to where u came from, we’ll mine it ourselves
I believe the issue is so urgent that all approvals should be cancelled and damages paid to Adani if necessary to stop the project.
Unconscionable to allow this deal to go ahead!
If it does not stack up financially do not do any deals. With Queensland in dire need of fresh water it is scandalous your government have approved this mine. How does a few thousand jobs stack up against the environmental and water damage this mine will do to QLD.
Stop Adani. Help climate change
No more coal subsidies, loans or deals….protect our environment please
How dare you! How can you even think of letting this mine go ahead with a sweetheart deal at a turning point in history like this. How can you think of giving unlimited amounts of our precious water to this climate-wrecking mine at a time like this when our farmers and our communities need it more than ever. you can’t eat coal, Premier. Coal is on its way out. There are far more jobs in a building a renewable, sustainable economy – you just need to sell that message better and the votes will follow. Adani is not to be trusted. I have voted for your party in several elections and I feel betrayed by your about-face on Adani. You may have lost me for good. Do the right thing.
Do not go ahead with this. It will ruin us!
Please don’t go ahead with the Adani Coal Mine. I am very concerned by the mine and what it will do to the natural water table and wilderness – also please don’t let the black throated finch become extinct – thank You
For the sake of the planet this mine MUST NOT go ahead.
Stop backing coal ….
