Anthony Albanese rules out retrospective legislation to fight Adani

Labor frontbencher says party must ‘get the policy mechanisms right’ over Carmichael coalmine

Anthony Albanese says Labor should not single out existing projects, like the Adani coalmine, that have already gone through approval processes “and then retrospectively change existing laws, which would have ramifications across the board”.

The Labor frontbencher has effectively ruled out Labor overhauling the Environmental Protection Biodiversity and Conversation Act as part of a strategy to boost legal options of killing the controversial Queensland coal project.
