Great Barrier Reef at risk if Coal Train Approved

It is inexcusable that a cost-benefit analysis has not been demanded by the Newman government before looking to approve the 300 kilometre rail line which will link undeveloped mines in Central Queensland to the controversial Abbot Point coal terminal adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef.
