I think that there is a bit of fiction regarding the amount of jobs that will be created . There will be a lot of short term jobs during the construction/ development phase but the Adani mine will be well automated so not a lot of long term employment (1250 operational jobs for the mine's 30-year lifespan), so short of royalties I don't think that there is really much of a benefit to Australia long term. There seems to be no mention of the income that royalties will bring maybe the Govt is giving Adani a subsidy on this aspect as well?
Its win win regardless for Adani, the Townsville and Rockhampton councils are paying Adani millions ensure local workers get jobs and are building an airport for Adani as well, the ratepayers will be up the creek if it all falls apart.
