Claims that Adani Coal Mine will threaten future tourism jobs in Far North, Tom Volling, The Cairns Post, June 19, 2017 A GROUP of scientists, doctors and reef conservationists claim a controversial coal mine destined for Central Queensland will negatively impact the Cairns economy.
A rally held at Fogarty Park yesterday called on the Government to pull support for the Adani Carmichael coal mine, located about 160km northwest of Clermont.
It was followed by march down past the Pullman Reef Casino, which was timed ahead of the Developing Northern Australian Conference this week.
Stop Adani Cairns organiser John Pratt, a former navy officer, said Cairns’ tourism was vulnerable to any damage to the Great Barrier Reef.
“I am 70, I won’t see much of the impact, but my grandkids will,” he said.
“We hear about the jobs for Adani more than we hear about the jobs at risk in tourism.”… http://www.cairnspost.com.au/news/cairns/claims-that-adani-coal-mine-will-threaten-future-tourism-jobs-in-far-north/news-story/2bab121ae006fd55b7eb0120bf13054c
