It was reported yesterday that the Queensland branch of the CFMEU is poised to demand Bill Shorten’s Labor candidates across the state pledge support for the coal mining industry or face the wrath of the union at the upcoming federal election.  And that support should include Adani Mining's Carmichael coal mine.

Stephen Smythe, CFMEU District President – Mackay tells Michael the coal pledge would leave no “grey area” for MPs to support the Palaszczuk government’s approach to Adani.
