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.”

No tax payers money to this foreign entity
This company has polluted other countries and NOT cleaned up
They will fly in workers
You reversed the aboriginal (our first people) land rights in favour of this company
Please tell me why this project is important to Australia
No government subsidies for fossil fuel!
This mine affects the whole of Australia, they should not be getting one cent of public money. In fact, the Qld government needs to find a way to stop it for the sake of the reef.
NO DEAL FOR ADUNNI!
HOW MANY TIMES & WAYS DOES IT NEED TO BE SAID
NO MEANS NO!
Why has this even been considered in the first place!! WE DO NOT WANT THIS COAL MINE TO GO AHEAD FOR ALL OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL REASONS FULL STOP!!! 😡
I will vote against any party that supports new coal developments.
Don’t give away give away Australia’s long term future by cutting a special deal to make a harmful project financially viable.
Don’t cut a deal with Adani. Put the country first.
Do not betray us further by giving public money to Adani. Preferably, boot Adani out of the country, and invest in and encourage climate-friendly projects which provide the affected workers a job that is actually worth doing!
Subsudising coal mines with taxpayers money ( including my taxes) is grossly negligent and immoral. I’ve paid taxes for good government expecting it will do every thing it can to ensure survival and security for me, my children and grandchildren. Escalating use of fossil fuels is ensuring ecocide and genocide.
Stop the mining in Burragubba land Stop all mining and destruction to country. Find other sustainable jobs for people Think about future generations
No deals for Adani. Destruction to the environment and water not worth it. Keep the dollars for Australia’s well-being.
This is madness…. You wont get my vote if you do this…
Stand up and lead with courage for the future. Coal mining is destructive madness.
This is an issue for everyone, not just Queenslanders. I’m deeply appalled by the QLD Labor government and their actions.
