Federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt has accused environmental activists of using litigation as often as possible to obstruct the approval process for mining projects. On 5 August 2015, the Federal Court of Australia set aside environmental approval for the Carmichael coal mine project in Queensland, to be developed by Indian company Adani. The litigant, the Mackay Conservation Group, is confident that the mine will not be built, but Hunt has vowed to issue a new approval as quickly as possible.
