Queensland MPs are desperate for the Federal Government to approve the Adani mine. This is what's still outstanding.
It has already received Federal sign-off, but discussions at state level between Adani and the Queensland Government have stalled.Adani's spokesperson said it was continuing to work with Queensland's Government"to finalise" the plan.Why has this become an issue this week?
However, the mine enjoys less support in other parts of the country, making the issue difficult for the Coalition party room. Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack said today"there is a fair bit of enthusiasm" for the project in central Queensland but that the approval was a decision for Minister Price."Sometimes decisions of this nature take a long time, sometimes they can do them as a matter of course."
Although the finch and groundwater plans are the major hurdles for Adani, there may be other hold-ups.
