Amazing...All this because someone cut down a tree ?

Remove all mining subsidies

Journalists need to check facts if Adani going 2 Magistrates court they can not possibly be fined $3million. Any year 11 legal studies kid could tell you this. That may be max fine under act. Please just check what’s real. Understand basic legal procedures etc. Took min to check

Granville4879 Well that will learn ‘em

This is how bribes are now paid. Money goes to the state, pollies get their cut. Just start digging ffs let's get this mine happening

Their response: ‘an administrative error and self reported with no harm to the environment’. FFS! When you ILLEGALLY clear 132 hectares you destroy HABITAT. Shows their contempt in spades. Be gone parasites.

Shock! No, not really. So much for the state and federal governments ‘due diligence’

Shifty AF. Australians have no idea how international business people laugh & scoff at our low IQ politicians (little people like Morrison, Canavan etc). Bc their lust for power and greed makes them cheap targets. More expensive and less dodgy doing business in banana republics

Suppose we will have to pay that for them as well

imagine that and they havent dug up a single piece of coal.this will be a fools bargain

'punishable with a fine' just means 'legal for the rich'

Pennies. Revoke their lease.

No fine needed revoke their approval... simple... stopadani AdamBandt larissawaters
