I move:
That the Senate—
(a) notes reports that:
(i) an internal investigation, by the Department of the Environment (the Department), found that the Adani mining company "may have been negligent" in failing to disclose its Australian CEO's links to a company convicted of environmental offences in Africa,
(ii) a compliance report, prepared for the Department's investigation, found "Adani Mining Pty Ltd may have been negligent in that, when requested in August 2015, it failed to disclose a complete account of its executive officers in relation to environmental matters", and
(iii) despite a recommendation that Adani be cautioned about the matter, the company never received any caution from the Federal Government; and
(b) expresses the view that Adani's proposed Carmichael coal mine not go ahead.
