Queensland says it won't play any role in funding for Adani project

Annastacia Palaszczuk says the Indian mining group will have to pay 'every dollar' of state royalties for the proposed mine

The Queensland government has announced it will not act as a "middle man" to funnel federal infrastructure funding to support the Adani Group's proposed coalmine.

The premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, has also confirmed the Indian mining group would have to pay "every dollar" of state royalties for the proposed mine, a significant departure from a previous deal to give the company a "royalties holiday".
