The Nationals leader was flown to the controversial Carmichael mine last October. It took him nearly six months to declare it.
The Nationals have always had a particularly cosy relationship with the mining industry. In particular, the Carmichael mega-mine, operated by Indian-owned Bravus has become, to the party of farmers, a monument to true blue Hilux-driving Quiet Australian grit – and a big up yours to soy inner-city elites. Or something like that.In return for that loyalty, Adani has donated thousands exclusively to the Queensland Liberal National Party in the last two financial years.
Littleproud was more forthcoming about another gift – membership of the struggling Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs. His regional Queensland electorate of Maranoa is famously vast, but last we checked, doesn’t extend as far as Belmore. We didn’t get an answer on this one either, but Littleproud’s local amateur rugby league side, the Chinchilla footy club, are also known as the Bulldogs.
