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.”

There must be no secrecy in deals with Adani. It is public money, the public has a right to know. And there must be no new coal if we are to save our planet.
Seriously? No deal for Adani. Dont give PUBLIC MONEY -my tax dollars-to fund this carbon bomb.
This must be revoked it is criminal that Queensland is granting these exemptions.
Your involvement with Adani has made you a killer. Not just of people livestock and livelihoods but also the hopes and dreams of future generations who have desolate apocalyptic existences to come
The Rural Fire Service should be given the millions of dollars of public money instead of the climate wrecking minr.
Seriously, what the hell is going on? What background deals are taking place and is it worth selling out Australia and the Australian people for this? As someone who lives closes to a mining town, I DONT WANT THIS!
Joh Bjelkie Palasczuk! For once do the morally right thing! Your disgusting, creepy grovelling for votes and willingness to destroy the environment will NEVER be forgotten.
We need to phase out coal exports immediately not give them royalty gifts!!!
Please do not cut a deal with Adani. I have been petitioning for ? 6 years. Your name will be forever tarnished in history.
She’d through history

Public money is not to be used to destroy our beautiful country. No More Mines!
Stop selling us out for nothing but empty promises and lies. I had such high hopes for you and you’ve been nothing but a sell out. You won’t win the next election if you don’t stop. That’s for certain.
It is my will that you do not use public funds to support Adani. The people of Australia expect transparency!
No royalty deals for Adani 🤬
For gods sake – no royalty deal for these planetary vandals
