From Michael West:
For those with little acquaintance of this whitest of white mammals of the family Elephantidae, we refer to the lawsuit in the Queensland Land Court where Indian conglomerate Adani is trying to get approval for Australia’s biggest coal mine.
The week had begun poorly for the Indian conglomerate. It had long claimed its Carmichael mine in the Galilee Basin would deliver $22 billion in taxes and royalties. However, its own expert witness, Dr Jerome Fahrer, admitted to a figure of $7.8 billion.
