Australian Conservation Foundation vows to pursue all avenues to stop Adani loan

Environmental group warns it will take legal action against Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility directors if funding granted for rail line

The Australian Conservation Foundation has warned it will pursue all avenues, including possible legal action, to stop a concessional loan being granted to a rail line associated with the controversial Adani coalmine.

The ACF's president, prominent businessman Geoff Cousins, told Guardian Australia on Tuesday the environmental group would "pursue [directors of the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility (Naif)] through whatever means possible" in the event the Naif granted the rail project a loan.
