I don't really know if Adani giving a green light to their own project really changes that much. They are still up poo poo creek with regards to financing the thing. Despite QLD Labor being all too keen to wolf down on Adani dick, I can't see any bank being loving dumb enough to spank a few billion up against the wall on this project. They certainly won't be refusing funding because of ethical, moral, or environmental reasons, but I just don't see how there is any justifiable business case that would present a return on investment good enough to justify the risk. Well, at least until Canavan announces a $5bn gift to fund the entire construction phase with public money and no requirement for Adani to repay any meaningful amount of it.

God just gently caress off already Queensland

There was an article in The Age some weeks back that argued that Adani knows full well that the mine is not worth building, but as long as they have the rights to mine those rights are an asset on their books that helps offset the fuckload of debt they have

If someone is acquitted, it's not their criminal history then is it?

He was acquitted because the evidence that led to his arrest was inadmissible in convicting him. If it was inadmissible for that, you can bet it was inadmissible in his parole hearing.

hawaiian_robot: Dec 5, 2006; And I'm happy just to sit here,
At a table with old friends.
And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies

quote:

The Age

Conservative commentator Andrew Bolt was allegedly set upon by a gang of protesters outside a Melbourne book launch on Tuesday, and appeared to give at least as good as he got.

Footage broadcast by Bolt on his Sky News program appears to show two men attacking him outside a Carlton restaurant, with a third man wielding a camera.

Bolt alleged the two men "jumped" him and sprayed him in the face and body with "sticky liquid with glitter and dye" while he took a selfie with a woman.

"Bad luck for them of course - I don't do running and hiding," Bolt said, claiming to have delivered one assailant "a big bruise on the left side of his face and another bruise between his legs".

"I don't really fight nice if I'm pushed too far," he said.

Victoria Police confirmed the incident, which took place about 12.15pm on Tuesday, was under investigation and said no one was injured.

"The two males, who were wearing hooded jumpers, have thrown what is believed to be glitter and shaving cream at the victim," a police spokesman said.

"A short scuffle has taken place before the offenders fled the scene. Another male who was in the area at the time appeared to be filming or taking photos."

Bolt was at the Il Gambero restaurant on Lygon Street, Carlton for the launch of The Art of the Impossible by RMIT associate professor Steve Kates, a former chief economist for the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The book is a compilation of blog posts about the US presidential election campaign and subsequent victory of Donald Trump.

On his program, Bolt described his attackers as "left-wing fascists", though this has not been confirmed by police.

"It is another warning of the rising violence of the Left," he said.

The author, Mr Kates, was quoted by the right-wing Catallaxy Files website confirming the apparent attack.

"You hear that Andrew has been attacked and you fear only the worst but while this time they went off worse for wear, it is a true worry that this is our world now," he said.

"We are people for whom words, argument and reason are what counts, but for the psychopaths on the other side they have nothing to offer but vacuous cliches and violence."

Bolt was approached for further comment.

A journalist family friend who has sadly passed away once challenged Bolt to a fight outside a pub in Canberra. Bolt agreed to the fight but used the other door to escape.

I do not believe he gave anything to anyone.

fiery_valkyrie: Mar 26, 2003; I'm proud of you, Bender. Sure, you lost. You lost bad. But the important thing is I beat up someone who hurt my feelings in high school.

I feared that the worst might happen - that Bolt would come through with no permanent injuries - and sadly the worst did come to pass.

Clearly there is no god.

Meanwhile, a far more reliable indication of whether Tuesday's announcement should be taken seriously can be found in the response to Downer EDI's share price. This is the company Adani said on Tuesday had been given the very large and valuable contract to build the mine. The share price didn't move.

Indeed, Downer, which is subject to ASX disclosure laws, released a far more circumspect statement in which it said the "letter of award [of the Adani contract] continues to be subject to the parties executing a binding mining services contract".

In other words, the contracts with Downer and others Adani had earmarked as being parties to this giant project were all hostage to the project actually going ahead. And that requires financing, which Adani still does not have.

I guess it's just that NSW actually has an ICAC and it's actually charging people. Everywhere else they seem to just get away with it.
