Carmichael to proceed despite renewed outcry from green lobby – MCA

The Minerals Council of Australia (MCA) has labelled the latest environmental resistance against the $16.5-billion Carmichael coal project, in Queensland, as “futile and cynical attention seeking”. The MCA was responding to an announcement by former Greens party leader Bob Brown, in which he said he will launch an alliance of 13 environmental groups opposed to the multibillion-dollar project, being developed by Indian major Adani.
