.RitaPanahi on federal Labor’s position on the Adani coal mine: We need a firm commitment, yes or no, from Labor. If this is an election issue across the country, then we need to know where Labor stands. MORE: outsiders
|The Adani coal mine is still unlikely to go ahead despite federal Environment Minister Melissa Price giving the green light to the groundwater management plan for the Carmichael project.
Queensland Labor says the Morrison government has brought on a fresh wave of uncertainty, with the state's Environment Minister Leeanne Enoch claiming ‘political interference’ compromised the decision. Energy Minister Angus Taylor told Sky News on Wednesday there are nine more plans that need state or federal approval. Only two of the nine are technically required before construction can commence, both of which need approval from the Queensland Government.
