The Queensland Government’s stance on Adani’s proposed Carmichael thermal coal mine is under scrutiny after it approved an expansion of Yancoal’s Cameby Downs mine, as well as several metallurgical coal mines. The government has been accused of double standards by Steve Smyth, the state president of the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining & Energy Union. Adani CEO Lucas Dow in turn has accused the state government of hypocrisy for taking out newspaper advertisements promoting its support for resources projects while continuing to stall on approving the Carmichael mine.
