The man who vowed to financially support Adani’s Carmichael coal project while Premier of Queensland, Campbell Newman, says the Palaszczuk government’s inability to make a decision over the project was a “towering disgrace”.
Mr Newman, who was Queensland premier between March 2012 and February 2015, and said the Labor party’s lack of support for Adani was a sign it was failing its working class constituency.
“This is a towering disgrace by the Australian Labor Party and it shows they have completely lost the plot about who they really represent,” he said.
“The branding is the Australian Labor Party but they don’t represent blue collar workers and their interests any more, they are totally selling them out, and particularly people from the Left (faction) like Deputy Premier Jackie Trad should be ashamed of themselves, they live and work among and speak for inner city elites, the hard left green activists.”
He was a moron in power, got the treatment he deserved at the ballot box, and nothing has changed.
