Adani and government spruikers for the Carmichael coal project claim that tens of thousands of jobs will be created by the project, but when they were forced to take an oath before the court they had to admit it was only 1,400 jobs. Compare that with the 70,000 tourism jobs along the Great Barrier Reef, if the project goes ahead and the reef dies. Has the minister held discussions with the Queensland tourism industry on this, and are they happy to lose 48 jobs for every one job created in Central Queensland?
