Tourism award winner in Queensland rejects Adani-sponsored prize

Second winner threatens to quit Whitsundays Tourism amid criticism of sponsor 'who is singlehandedly destroying everything that we stand for'

The winner of a Queensland tourism award has rejected its prize because it was sponsored by the mining giant Adani.

Another winner in the 2017 Whitsundays Tourism awards, held last month at Hamilton Island with Adani as a silver sponsor, threatened to quit the organisation unless it cut ties with the miner.
