Adani’s promise of jobs doesn’t add up

Three years later, India Holding’s promise to Australia is still not gathered-just as we said in 2022. Despite the Multibillion dollar hostage, the mining company continues to pay zero corporate tax in Australia.

Our 2022 article revealed Adani’s wrong business promises and revealed that the Adani mine in the center of Queensland employed as small production personnel despite being mass. subsidy By the Queensland government.

A spokesman Mining and Energy Association in question:

“Our understanding is about 300 production employees who are currently employed through Labour-Hire. MackelsThe mine is expected to increase as it becomes better operational. “

*Independent ABravus mining and resources (Adani’s new name in Queensland) asked twice how full -time business has been created in the mine. He refused to answer.

In 2017, in a joint media broadcast with Premier Annastacia PalaszczukHe committed to producing adani 10,000 Direct/indirect works in Queensland.

Premier two years later Told to parliament:

“There is a company promised Mostly in Rockhampton and Townsville, 1,500 direct work and 6,700 indirect work. I’m waiting for Adani to fulfill this promise. I’m determined to do. “

This will only create the project, despite his own economist who made a declaration in a land court in 2015. 483 Job In the center of Queensland and in the rest of the 723 states.

And this, at a time when the analysis is dealing with an annual output 40 million tons One year instead of the plan to produce 10 million tons of coal annually.

Despite the company announcement that the mine does not require “A penny of the Australian taxpayer dollars” And it would be ‘It was financed through the resources of 100 percent Adani group’Queensland government subsidizes the project with long -term copyrights to agree.

At a time when the government needs to pay for flood restoration, the company can stop hundreds of millions of dollars from the state’s chests every year.

. Copyright and Repayment Agreement The company was created under the state government. Resources Regional Development Framework what does it require creating businessA positive effect on the common user infrastructure and the financial situations of the state.

Adani in March 2017 announced The project is as follows:

‘… In the first half of the project life, the state mining taxes and copyrights are about 22 billion dollars. This will help the public financing that is highly needed to provide schools, hospitals, roads and other services and to help encourage activities throughout the economy. ‘

So how much should Bravus pay on copyright every year by using the company’s own figures?

The life of the mine was expected to produce 40 million tons of coal 60 yearsSo 22 billion dollars would be paid in the first 30 years.

The price of thermal coal is because adjustments need to be made on this prediction More than two floors This year was between March 2017 and January ($ 106.6 million to $ 274.2 million) and the foreseen output was between the quarter.

22 billion dollars, 56.32 billion dollars to take into account the price difference, and as a result the decrease in the output of $ 14 billion to take into account.

Analysis of taxes and copyrights submitted to the Land Court EK B In 2015, the ratio to taxes of $ 2 for a large part of the period is shown.

A total of $ 14 billion, which will have a copyright of about $ 2.8 billion, so for more than 30 years, Queensland has been missing more than $ 93 million every year for the length of the agreement.

This means that Queenslanders’ every job in the mine is more than $ 300,000 for each year.

One ABC Investigation In 2017, he would see that the agreement would see that Adani paid only $ 2 million a year in copyright.

In addition to other questions that are not answered by Bravus:

Considering that the initiative was “financially stacked”, “does not need a penny of taxpayers” and “you do not want a special favor”, why did Adani/Bravus negotiate with the Queensland government to delay millions of dollars of copyright payment for several years?

In my article, will I be correct in writing that Bravus does not pay any copyright at the moment?

The agreement means that the company will have to pay copyrights at a time in the future, but hidden.

At a time when the Queensland government should find Repair 1 billion dollars public infrastructure ‘Public financing that is very needed‘ It will not be available from Bravus.

* Editor’s note:

As mentioned above, independent Australia asked Bravus mining and resources twice how full time to work in the mine, but they did not answer the question.

However, a spokesman provided the following answers that they want to publish exactly:

Hello Steve–

You can attribute the following to a Bravus mining and resources spokesperson:

“Conditions of the Copyright Agreement with the Queensland government are safe commercial.

“However, the tremendous economic benefits of the Carmichael project to Queenslanders are more than $ 1 billion paid for regional Queensland contractor and businesses, and more than 2,600 direct work since construction has started.

“There are currently 45 Hinterland or Skytrans flight from Townsville or Rockhampton airports to Carmichael mine every week.

“Bravus secured the market for 10 million tons of coal per year in Carmichael.

“The coal index will be sold in pricing, ie all taxes and copyrights will be paid here in Australia.”

Lesson: [EXTERNAL] Bravus: Not to answer

Thanks for this, but some questions were not answered.

Considering that the initiative is financially stacked, given that the taxpayers would not need a penny and you do not want any special goodness, why did Adani/Bravus negotiate with the Queensland government to delay millions of dollars of copyright payment for several years?

In my article, will I be correct in writing that Bravus does not pay any copyright at the moment?

In fact, how many full -time work is in the mine?

How many mining work on the site?
How many people working on matter FIFO.

Thanks again.
