Labor accused of 'sucking up to coal lobby' as MPs go on the road with Minerals Council

Greens say ALP voters should despair as four MPs tour Queensland mines with lobby group

Labor MPs have been accused of "sucking up to the coal lobby" as they embark on a three-day tour of Queensland mines hosted by the Minerals Council of Australia.

Greens' environment spokeswoman Sarah Hanson-Young said the decision of a group of Labor MPs to embrace the coal lobby would cause despair among Labor voters.
