Title

  • Motions — Mining
  • Motions - Mining - Against Adani mine

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Larissa Waters</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That the Senate agrees that the Adani Carmichael coalmine should not go ahead.</p>
  • The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2018-12-04.124.1) introduced by Greens Senator [Larissa Waters](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/queensland/larissa_waters) (Qld), which means it failed.
  • ### Motion text
  • > *That the Senate agrees that the Adani Carmichael coalmine should not go ahead.*
  • <p class="speaker">Anne Ruston</p>
  • <p>I seek leave to make a short statement.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>
  • <p>Leave is granted for one minute.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Anne Ruston</p>
  • <p>The Liberal-National coalition government supports the development of the Adani Carmichael mine and further development of the Galilee Basin under the robust environmental laws that we have. The development of the Galilee basin will deliver up to 15,000 jobs and add billions of dollars to the Queensland economy. The traditional owners of the land voted 294 to one in favour of the development of the Carmichael mine. The authorisation by traditional owners of this project has been upheld by the Federal Court against the challenge to its decision. We should respect the wishes of these traditional owners.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>
  • <p>The question is that motion No. 1303 be agreed to.</p>
