Dr Lissa Schindler, AMCS Great Barrier Reef campaigner, said: "To put that $13,055 fine in context, Adani is paying less than a quarter of what it donated to the Liberals and Nationals since the last election and less than half what it has donated to One Nation." "Let's also not forget the huge amounts of money Adani is putting into advertising and letterboxing in Queensland to try desperately to push through its mine. "It turns out it was a lot cheaper for Adani to cop a small fine than it was to have done the full amount of work needed on its port so that this didn't happen in the first place. It is not like cyclones are new to Queensland." "We only have one Great Barrier Reef. Let's not risk its future by allowing big mining conglomerates like the Adani Group to go ahead with risky and damaging projects."
