Adani

Following Their Dirty Footsteps
From fishing villages in India to the tropics of North Queensland, the Adani company is building coal mines at the very time that people are demanding action on climate change. Why? Adani is planning to build Australia’s largest coal mine and the world’s largest coal terminal. Why, asks Lindsay Simpson, would an Australian Prime Minister, a State Premier and a handful of regional mayors back such a project, risking the future of the Great Barrier Reef and the vast underground water reservoirs in the Galilee Basin? Lindsay Simpson’s personal story reveals the truth behind this controversy. As a tourist operator in the Whitsunday Islands, she is determined to expose the contribution of coal mines to global warming, which is threatening the world’s largest living organism – the Great Barrier Reef – with extinction. With other activists, she travels from Adani’s Indian headquarters to Parliament House in Canberra to lobby politicians, demand answers, and question motivations.She investigates the power of the social movement, Stop Adani, which has captured the public imagination, and sheds light on the workings of the coal industry and its alliances with government. In this astute analysis Lindsay Simpson argues that while Adani might have gained the political will to build the mine, it has never gained the social will of the people. So will the people win this battle over a coal mine?
