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.”

Don’t let Adani have special deals to polite the Earth
Our clean and safe water and land is irreplaceable don’t give them away for nothing
Please lead us in the best direction for our environment and children.
Stop wasting our tax payers money on fossil fuels. Aren’t the bushfires in winter & spring , drought etc not a wake up call?
This mine should. It go ahead. It’s either reef or mine. I know which one I would choose if I was the premier
The Adani venture should be stopped. It will not create many jobs and it will do untold environmental damage to our land The Qld Labor govt has to stop this madness now.
Yes, I’m from NSW, but this is an Australia wide issue. Open the door to this and other states will follow suit with many plans around mines in the initial stages. Save our environment, take climate change seriously and put Australia and its people first.
Premier, at a time when water is becoming our most precious commodity, Adani seeks to take it for free, along with a crazy amount of our (the public’s) money.
Please don’t offer Adani anything extra, if they’re not financially stable then they can’t be trusted.
Why would you let this company bribe you Anna! They will destroy the environment, polluted the seas and in all probability cause damage to the Reef.
No new coal mines. Give us a plan for a speedy transition to sustainable clean jobs for those workers in unsustainable fossil fuel industries.
Why would we even consider taxpayer funding an environmentally unfriendly, destructive project for an outdated mode of energy for a profiteering overseas company.
