SYDNEY: A surprise election victory for Australia’s pro-coal ruling coalition may bode well for the Adani Group’s long-delayed mega coal mine project, with the Group’s country head saying the defeat of Labor Party in Queensland, where the project is based, is a clear message to get the project done.
The opposition Labor Party leader Bill Shorten who took a firm stand against coal and mining has announced he is resigning after accepting defeat as his party fared poorly in Queensland, especially in mining communities in the north of the state.
