The truth on Abbot Point

THE one thing you can be sure of when the green activists from GetUp get on their soapbox is they won’t let the truth get in the way of a tall story.There’s a blatant disregard for the truth with their latest stunts in relation to the Abbot Point coal terminal expansion.Their claim that an onshore land disposal option has already been approved is wrong, as is their claim that the process is being rushed.Then two days after a state election is called, they’re mounting a high court challenge in what is an obvious political move.

This rubbish does nothing to assist the people of Bowen who are desperate to see the expansion of Abbot Point go ahead as soon as possible.

The necessary assessment and approvals process is still underway.We must await the decision of the experts.In the meantime, don’t be fooled by the group who said absolutely nothing about the dumping of dredge spoil when the Labor Party was advancing plans to do so.
