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 be so incredibly stupid enough to give away taxpayer money on yesterday’s energy source ffs!
This is a bad deal in every way@
Not a damn can’t!! Make Tues god damn companies pay tax!! Revoke Adani free water and god damn royalty holiday. The Have no social licence. The mining madness must end, it profits no Australians and destroys our environment.
As our country burns and the EU declares a climate emergency it is time for our governments to do the same. The Black Throated Finch will disappear and so will our population as we will all burn together. Listen to the science and don’t squander our future.
As an elected official, you speak for the majority, and the majority are telling you loud and clear, DON’T LET THIS GO AHEAD!
That money could be used for solar energy on an unprecedented scale
Please Premier, do not proceed with giving Adani free rein to pollute our environment, take untold amount of water which SHOULD be going to farmers and graziers, and royalty deals. We don’t want Adani here.
I am absolutely appalled that you would STILL be sacrificing our children’s future, the environment & our natural heritage for SHORT term political gain. I despise you for this. ADANI is an environmental vandal – disgusting
Pack up your bags and get the f*** out of my country together with Adani, you traitor
