It's not much different to Truffle's business case argument that he trots out when it suits him.<br /><br />Virtually the first comment I read on the Carmichael project stated that, based on Adani's own (very optimistic) figures, the project was very marginal at best. The prospects have only got worse since that time as evidenced by the lack of financial backers. The ALP probably hoped that the project would simply fall over of it's own accord without them having to lift a finger.<br /><br />As with most matters reptile, the basic facts tend to contradict their argument so they try to frame this as some sort tribal conflict - greens versus workers, left verses right. A mindless confrontation with an old enemy.Befuddledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16201490489888639207noreply@blogger.com
