It proves beyond a doubt that Adani can&#8217;t be trusted to build the world&#8217;s biggest new coal mine. And they definitely can&#8217;t be trusted with a billion taxpayer dollars to do it. I received this email from GetUp:<br \/>\nHi Tom,<br \/>\nEarlier this year we released the Adani Files \u2014 a comprehensive summary of Adani&#8217;s terrifying track record.<br \/>\nSince then, Adani has been so busy racking up fresh scandals and disasters that we&#8217;ve had to completely update their rap sheet.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re talking investigations of massive fraud, crony capitalism and a pollution disaster right on the Great Barrier Reef coast.<br \/>\nBut despite all this, the Turnbull government is still desperate to hand them a billion dollars of public money to build the biggest and most dangerous new coal mine on the planet.<br \/>\nWe still have work to do. Can you help expose the awful truth about Adani by sharing the latest dirt with your friends?<br \/>\nAdani&#8217;s track record proves they will try every dirty trick in the book to get what they want. And right now, they&#8217;re hellbent on getting their hands on the billion dollar handout.<br \/>\nAdani&#8217;s got a huge advertising budget, lobbyists swarming all over Canberra, and a billion-dollar Government slush fund that seems tailored to their interests.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re up against a formidable enemy. That&#8217;s why wherever our MPs go they need to be hearing that Adani can&#8217;t trusted.<br \/>\nThey need to be surrounded by voters from their own electorates reminding them at every turn that Adani&#8217;s coal will hurt people. It will hurt the planet. And it will hurt the government at the next election.<br \/>\nShare the latest Adani Files with your friends and help show our politicians why Adani can&#8217;t be trusted.<br \/>\nThe new Adani Files are just the latest chapter in a long and sordid history of Adani trampling communities and trashing the environment in their greedy pursuit of profit.<br \/>\nTogether, we&#8217;ll stop this rotten coal mine before Adani do any more damage.<br \/>\nThanks for standing up to Adani.<br \/>\nSam R and Adam, for the GetUp team<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.getup.org.au\/campaigns\/great-barrier-reef--3\/adani-files-new-dirt-share\/the-adani-files-2-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.getup.org.au\/campaigns\/great-barrier-reef&#8211;3\/adani-files-new-dirt-share\/the-adani-files-2-0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest Adani Files reveal that Adani have already brought their shonky business practices and environmental destruction to Australia.
