I wouldn't be at all surprised if Adani just said "We've had enough of this $hit" & pulled out.
The danger here is that Australia is being judged on Palaszczuk's Qeensland.
The way the Qld Govt is going Adani won't be able to afford the registration for their vehicles !

Indy the chances of that happening are zero
Adani is being put in place by Australian social welfare, we are nearly paying them in the short term to take our coal
It WAS a Labor act of pure stupidity to stall approval
But we must never ever drop our much needed closely watched environmental restrictions

Belly,

On "our much needed closely watched environmental restrictions", it seems that the annual production of CO2 in Australia can be measured, but I wonder if there is any attempt to measure how much the Australian biota (plant-life, biosphere, natural environment) takes up annually.

Of course, the difference is what we need to concern ourselves about. Is it vast, or is it insignificant ? Either way, are there policies which can be adopted to reduce or minimise it ? Policies which may not be too expensive, but which may also provide lifelong employment and in turn generate other industries ?

Tony Burke has come out in support of Tony Abbott's urging to plant far more trees wherever possible. Of course, not just any old trees, but valuable timber trees, sandalwood, fruit trees, nut trees, date palms, etc., whatever grows well and can be harvested down the track, without doing any damage to the environment. Ideally, all of those trees could be put on drippers (for a couple of dollars each) and come to full maturity far earlier, providing for milling businesses as well as production of fruit, nuts, etc.

But i suppose the key is: how much CO2 does the environment already take up, in relation to the amount produced ? Governments can't do much effective planning if they don't know that.

Cheers,

Joe

That sounds like a great idea Joe, but unlikely to survive the ratbag greens long term.

Remember the Snowy. Lots of work to develop a little electricity & a huge irrigation resource. After years of carping by ratbag greens, now a lot of that water is wasted, flushed uselessly down the old Snowy, or sent down to South Australia to fill their fresh water playground, dammed by barrages.

Frazer Island had a great plantation timber industry. It supported many jobs on the island, & a much larger number in a huge saw mill in Maryborough. Many down stream minor industries depended on this timber. Now all gone, thanks to ratbag greenies, who have no interest in normal people, other than to ruin their lives.

Start growing timber for harvest, & the greens will start plotting how to prevent that harvest, supported by Labor who want their vote.
