Pocket Money: The Adani Coal Mine
In a special mini-episode we’ve dubbed “Pocket Money” we take a look at the recent developments with Adani’s Carmichael coal mine in Queensland’s Galilee Basin.
It’s a straight discussion, without our usual bells and whistles so that we could respond quickly and if you like it, we’ll probably do more of these Pocket Money episodes in future. If you like Follow the Money, please rate and review us on iTunes as it helps other people discover us. We’ve got one more episode for 2016, then keep an ear out for our summer series, featuring some of the great speakers from our Politics in the Pub events throughout the year.
