\"Adani<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

THIS is one of MANY reasons why you do not need a bunch of self-interested Liberal or Labor politicians running this country!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internal CSIRO correspondence reveals the science agency was pushed to formally accept the Federal Government’s approval of Adani’s water plans in a single afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internal CSIRO correspondence explicitly shows the agency went out of its way to avoid giving any categorical scientific advice on Adani’s plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A letter from the CSIRO to the environmental department noted other concerns were yet to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emails obtained by the ABC also show how rushed the CSIRO was to provide its “formal assent” to the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the Government saying Australia’s top science agencies “confirmed” Adani’s water plans had “met strict scientific requirements”, the emails show CSIRO was determined not to give a “categoric” response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correspondence obtained by the ABC through freedom of information laws exposes further discrepancies between what the Government said about the assessment of Adani’s environmental plans, and what actually occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The newly uncovered emails follow hand-written notes from Geoscience Australia, obtained by the ABC in April, showing Adani refused to accept several of its recommendations, counter to what the Government said at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
