Miner says group is ‘trespassing’ but police have acknowledged their cultural rights under human rights act
Queensland police have told a group of First Nations people occupying the site of Adani’s Carmichael coalmine for the past five weeks that they have no intention of removing them from the area “at this time”.
The group of Wangan and Jagalingou traditional owners opposed to the coalmine project began an ongoing cultural ceremony within the boundary of Adani’s mining lease in late August.
Adani says the group are “anti-fossil fuel activists” who are “trespassing under the guise of traditional activity”.
Police say in a statement their investigations and negotiations are “ongoing”. But officers at the mine site have told the group of traditional owners that they recognise their cultural rights to conduct ceremony, under provisions of the 2019 Queensland Human Rights Act.

The financial position of the company that is meant to be buying the coal from Adani's coal mine in Queensland's Galilee Basin also raises concerns. The coal is likely destined for power stations in India owned by Adani Power Ltd, listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange but controlled by the Adani family. It released its latest accounts this month. Adani Power is highly leveraged with daunting debt — on current exchange rates, about $US7 billion net, or $10 billion — and thin earnings by comparison. "Adani Power's financial position is perilous," says Professor Sandra van der Laan. "They're not generating enough revenue to cover their interest payments, let alone repay their debt."
