Let's get this straight.

Adani donates $600k the Qld LNP before election.

After the election, Qld LNP ends legal action over $400 MILLION in unpaid royalties.

Dodgy, dodgy, dodgy. Thread.
theguardian.com/australia-news…Image Here's the data from the Australian Electoral Commission.

Adani easily the biggest donor to LNP,

Qld election was on 26 October 2024, but we just found out this week because of fed-state donation law loophole! Image

Oh look, @MurrayWatt just tripled the area of native habitat that tax-shy gas company Arrow Energy can destroy!

When LNP's Greg Hunt approved this, he imposed "some of the strictest env conditions in Aus history"

Not so strict anymore...1/3
@TheAusInstitute Image
Image Under Hunt’s approval Arrow could ‘disturb’ 167 ha of threatened bat habitat & 66 ha of snake habitat. Minister Watt, just expanded that to 486ha and 300ha respectively. Compare the pair. Image

OMG, environmentalists have cost 'the economy' $17 billion!...how terrible...

...can that be right?...let's take a look...
@MenziesRC @gregbrown_TheOz Image Ok, this is from the @MenziesRC and they were assisted by "many specialist economists and lawyers". This should be a good report.

Here's a new coal seam gas project from Santos.

It is awaiting approval from @tanya_plibersek.

Her department just waved through a variation that could increase fugitive methane emissions. Note this project does not appear on the major project list that @thejuicemedia used for this great vid.

Oh look, the gas lobby @APPEALtd has commissioned INDEPENDENT economic modelling about the "soviet" energy legislation.

Let's take a look at this modelling, shall we?
theaustralian.com.au/nation/politic… According to @APPEALtd, modelling from @acil_allen (hi @JeromeFahrer) shows gas prices will go up because consumers will demand more and gas projects won't go ahead with price caps. Oh no!

Big risk to Aus climate policy is that Labor scandals won't be the same outrage candy LNP's were.

Here's a @Bowenchris-appointed panel member recommending investment in the #offsets SHE IS REVIEWING. @crikey_news @BernardKeane
crikey.com.au/2022/11/18/acc… Two other panel members work for corporations that profit from advising on the offset system THEY ARE REVIEWING.
One of them works for @EY_Australia and wrote this report to promote its carbon consulting arm:

BREAKING: Clive Palmer Waratah Coal mine refused by Qld Land Court! Big question - can the court consider combustion emissions of the coal? As a matter of law, court has decided it can. Good decision!

In Qld today @ScottMorrisonMP and @Barnaby_Joyce announced they would put $5.4b into the Hell's Gates dam.

They claim $6b increase in output & 7k ongoing jobs.

Reserve Bank of Australia (@RBAInfo) has put out modelling of a major decline in Aus fossil fuel exports.

Key finding: "The effect on overall Australian GDP is expected to be relatively small and gradual."

*Sizzling* new #Watergate documents show taxpayers & rivers were ripped off.
Kudos to @Senator_Patrick for epic FoI battle.

After 2 year cover up, only explanations left are incompetence or wrongdoing by @DeptAgNews under @Barnaby_Joyce. THREAD. Taxpayers paid @AngusTaylorMP's former co $80m for dubious water in Condamine Balonne valley. It seemed outrageous at the time, esp when the co announced a $52m profit on the deal.
@MaryanneSlatte1 & I showed, the dpt had haggled the price *up*.

Love #auspol but don't quite understand the @Barnaby_Joyce/#watergate/#RonniSalt thing?

Always had Qs re #MurrayDarling politics, but were too afraid to ask?

This thread's for you. Current excitement is about an $80m ‘strategic water purchase’, which Joyce made as water minister in 2017.

@AngusTaylorMP's old company Eastern Australian Agriculture made a $52m profit on the deal.

Taylor was not involved in EEA in 2017 & I allege no wrongdoing on his part.
