AUSTRALIAN ANGST

Indian multinational conglomerate company Adani has the backing of Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s Liberal Party to build a coal mine in north-east Australia, but thousands of protestors, including those in this picture, have expressed their opposition to the $3.3-billion, 25-million-tonne-a-year Carmichael mining project. Adani also has plans for an associated 400 km railway line from the mine to a port on Queensland’s coast, but the part-Australian capital raising is being targeted by environmental activists, who are ramping up pressure on Turnbull’s razor-thin majority in Parliament. If environmentalists do manage to halt Adani, the victory may well have implications beyond coal.
