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.”

Coal is dead – we need to move on and drop this destructive mine.
NO to Adani. Not in Australia’s best interests so no money should be provided to this man or his company. Too many risks to Australia’s environment and food production in the drought areas. We need our water not coal for India.
Adani has proved time and time again they can not be trusted – no royalty deal
Do the right thing …. please
This governments behaviour is sickening.
Please STOP this reckless deal with Adani. For the sake of our children’s future. Please check your conscience and do the right thing – the Carmichael mine must not proceed.
Adani must not go ahead. If it does, Australia will be shamed in the eyes of the world. We are facing a climate emergency and our refusal to pull our weight and get behind other governments world wide in an international effort to combat this crisis, will go down in history as one of the worst betrayals of a country and its people that anyone has ever seen.
Absolutely disgraceful form!!
Listen to the people now or face the consequences in the next election! Planet before profits!!
