Labor-Greens alliance would end Adani project

 MAY 13, 2016: A Labor-Greens government would spell the end for the Adani Carmichael Mine Project and the thousands of jobs it would provide.This has been made crystal clear by Greens and Labor candidates this week.If the Greens get to power-share in a Labor minority government, we can kiss the Carmichael Mine Project goodbye because the Greens will push to overturn the mine approval and sound the death knell on the thousands of jobs it would create.Greens Senator Larissa Waters has said the Adani mine should never have been approved.So this is how it would play out if we ended up in the mess of having a Labor-Greens minority government.The Greens would put pressure on Labor to make financially reckless and frankly ridiculous decisions to stop mining coal immediately.And Labor, who frankly just want the Adani Carmichael Coal Project to go away, would cave in to their Green mates for the sake of a shot at power.Labor has voted against legislation to end extreme green court challenges, and this week in Mackay Labor leader Bill Shorten said; ‘The Commonwealth Government I lead wouldn’t be putting taxpayers’ money into the Adani mine.’The Labor candidate for Dawson Frank Gilbert has declared his hand on the mining industry by stating that I was ‘ignorant and irresponsible’ for backing the fossil fuel industry.And we’ve had the Labor candidate for the inner city Brisbane seat of Ryan telling us that two Brisbane Labor Party branches have passed resolutions withdrawing support for ‘Galilee Basin Coal Mining developments and any other coal mine in Queensland’.And all this from the party that claims to represent the workers.It’s not hard to see that many of those workers who are desperate for more jobs in the resources sector, and all those businesses who are in dire need of the economic injection Adani’s Carmichael Mine would provide, would be left high and dry by Labor and the Greens.
