MAY 31, 2016: THE Labor Party would kill the Adani Carmichael Coal Project if elected, and that job-destroying fait accompli was made clear on national television last night by a key Labor spokeswoman.The Shadow Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Opposition Terri Butler sealed Adani’s fate under Labor on the ABC’s Q&A program last night.Ms Butler showed her true colours on Adani’s coal project last night when she said, and I quote, ‘I don’t support the Adani mine either I’ve got to say’ and then for good measure she repeated her opposition stating ‘I don’t support it’.Ms Butler, who is a Brisbane-based MP, would be a key adviser to Bill Shorten if we were to end up with a Shorten Labor Government and she would be very influential.So it’s clear that Ms Butler does not support the workers of Central Queensland who are buoyed by the prospect of jobs from the Adani project, and she does not support the many businesses that will see a significant boost once this project begins.This just provides more evidence of Federal Labor’s anti-coal, anti-Adani stance.

1. We’ve recently had Bill Shorten in Mackay stating ‘The Commonwealth Government I lead wouldn’t be putting taxpayers’ money into the Adani mine.’
2. We’ve also had the Labor candidate for Dawson Frank Gilbert declaring his hand on the mining industry by stating that I was ‘ignorant and irresponsible’ for backing the fossil fuel industry.
3. Another Labor candidate for the inner city Brisbane seat of Ryan has  boasted that two Brisbane Labor Party branches have passed resolutions withdrawing support for ‘Galilee Basin Coal Mining developments and any other coal mine in Queensland’.

Labor wants the Adani Carmichael Coal Project to go away because it upsets the sensibilities of their Green mates, and they are making it quite clear that this project, and the thousands of jobs and billions of dollars it would create, is doomed should Labor form government.
