The Queensland government has commenced legal proceedings against Adani in Brisbane’s magistrates court over a report it produced on its Carmichael Mine operations.
The Department of Environment and Science alleges Adani’s 2017/2018 annual return contained false and misleading information about land disturbances undertaken at the coal mine in the Galilee Basin.
Adani says it self-reported the ‘administrative error’ in September 2018, and the company says there was no environmental harm caused, with all relevant works legal and fully compliant with the project conditions.
