Adani circles the wagons in Queensland
@AnnastaciaMP exercising the Queensland Government's right of veto
ADANI has announced it will part ways with its main contractor for its Carmichael megamine.
The Indian mining giant released a statement this morning heralding the change, which comes after Downer pulled information on Adani recruitment events from its website.
Downer was set to develop and operate the mine, but Adani will instead run the mine as an owner-operator.
“Following on from the NAIF veto last week, and in line with its vision to achieve the lowest quartile cost of production by ensuring flexibility and efficiencies in the supply chain, Adani has decided to develop and operate the mine on an owner operator basis,” it read.
“Adani and Downer have mutually agreed to cancel all Letter of Awards and Downer will provide transitional assistance until 31st March 2018.
“Adani remains committed to develop the Carmichael project and will ensure the highest level of standards and governance.

Can you even imagine personally owing the NSW Government over $204k in unpaid fines? Somebody in the Northmead area can.
As of 30 June 2017 approximately 515,437 debtors owed the NSW State Debt Recovery Office a whopping $839,762,236 as a result of 2,524,845 fines being generated.
The nature of these fines range from penalty notices (e.g. parking fines) through to court fines, State Electoral Office fines, Sheriff Office Jury Branch fines and Bail Forfeiture Orders.
These fines are all overdue and an unknown number of these debtors are serial defaulters.
Here are the top five serial offenders:
The person owing the largest dollar amount hails from the Northmead area, the second largest has an address in the vicinity of Waterloo-Zetland, the third is somewhere in Artarmon and, the fourth & fifth seem to call the Eastern Suburbs home.
In the 2016-17 financial year the State Debt Recovery Office wrote off est. $68.23 million in debt still outstanding.
