Anti Adani coal mine protests to be a continuing feature of Queensland election
Anti-Adani protests to dog Qld election, Herald Sun, Ed Jackson, Australian Associated Press, October 29, 2017 Anti-Adani protesters have tried to upstage Annastacia Palaszczuk as she tried to kick of the Queensland election……Anti-Adani protesters were also waiting outside Government House when she called on the acting governor Catherine Holmes to request writs be issued for the November 25 election.
It likely won’t be the last protest Ms Palaszczuk faces on the trail, with anti-Adani groups promising to dog the premier as she makes her way around the state.
Adani’s Carmichael mine has been one of the most polarising issues of Mr Palaszczuk’s time in office, with environmental groups furious the mine is going ahead.
Queensland Greens South Brisbane candidate Amy MacMahon said Adani would be forefront of the election campaign.
“We have a Labor government that are intent on giving a dodgy multi-national mining company a billion dollar loan from the federal government and a $300 million royalties deal for a project that will create next to no jobs and provide very little benefit to Queenslanders,” Ms MacMahon said. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/breaking-news/antiadani-protests-to-dog-qld-election/news-story/dac24aadf68cf243abcc115865b626c3
