The coal-fired heat is being turned up on Adani – the question is, will the company finally choke on the toxic smoke being created and abandon its Carmichael coal mine plans?<\/p>\n

The ABC reports Environmental Justice Australia (EJA) has referred a complaint from a jobseeker and the Australian Unemployed Workers Union (AUWU) concerning Adani to the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission (ACCC).<\/p>\n

The complaint relates to claims Adani has reportedly made concerning the number of jobs that will be generated from the Carmichael project in Queensland.<\/p>\n

EJA says this is creating false hope and driving job seekers to pay out for expensive courses in an attempt to increase their chances of getting a job at the mine – jobs that may never exist.<\/p>\n

“ACCC is urged to take action to prevent the continued dissemination of Adani’s misleading or deceptive statements that are directed at jobseekers,” said<\/a> EJA lawyer David Barnden.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

EJA’s complaint to the ACCC can be viewed here<\/a> (PDF).<\/p>\n

According to The Conversation<\/a>, the number of jobs being bandied about by Adani and some\u00a0politicians is 10,000. However, the number that appears on approval documents on the Queensland Government’s Department of State Development<\/a> projects website is up to 6,395 jobs, with 3,920 being ongoing.<\/p>\n

That figure may also be optimistic. Adani’s special witness, Jerome Fahrer, told the Queensland Land Court<\/a> in 2015 the mine would create just 1,464 net jobs; taking into construction, ongoing employment and job losses from other major projects.<\/p>\n

Just as a comparison, Green Energy Markets\u2019 latest Renewable Energy Index indicated the small-scale solar power systems installed during October<\/a> in Queensland supported 1,347 full time equivalent jobs. Add in large-scale renewables and the number was 7,194.<\/p>\n

Financing the project is also presenting some major challenges for Adani, Yesterday, the ABC reported former foreign minister Bob Carr said Adani won’t have any luck sourcing financing from China.<\/p>\n

“”I’ve been talking to both government and financial institutions at a level that makes me confident there will be no financial support for this project,” said Mr. Carr<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Last week, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) officially quashed rumours it would be providing financing.<\/p>\n

“ICBC has not been, and does not intend to be, engaged in arranging financing for this project,” says a statement<\/a> from the institution. “ICBC attaches great importance to its social responsibilities and keenly promotes ‘green financing’. In Australia ICBC has provided financing to a series of renewable energy projects.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While ICBC says its stance is without prejudice, there’s\u00a0 no lack of vocal opposition to the mine; which it seems will predominantly produce low quality, high ash coal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A report published in June by Deloitte provided 56 billion reasons<\/a> to dump Adani’s Carmichael coal mine project; and in May, the Climate Council and Oxfam warned the project represents a major conflict<\/a> with Australia\u2019s commitment to addressing climate change.<\/p>\n

Trivia: <\/b>the burning of coal is responsible for more than 800,000 premature deaths<\/a> annually around the world \u2013 just through air pollution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
