Six environmental activists have faced court over a recent protest against Adani’s new controversial Carmichael Mine.

The activists operating as part of Frontline Action on Coal pled guilty to the charges, with penalties ranging from 18 month good behaviour bonds to $2,000 fines. 

While Adani has demanded harsher penalties for protestors, spokesperson for the group Andy Paine has defended their actions, and claims Adani is out of touch with reality.
