‘It’s happening’: digging begins at Adani’s $2b Carmichael mine – The Australian Financial Review

The bulk of the contracts have gone to Queensland-based companies, which have not been hindered by the state’s border closures, and new workers include hospitality workers from coastal cities who lost their jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Adani’s proposed coal mine in the Galilee Basin has been the lightning rod for anti-fossil fuel and environmental activists for years and was thrust into the national spotlight during last year’s federal election.
