The big political problem - given that we have an upcoming state election in QLD - is that both sides of the house support it, despite the overwhelming majority of SE QLDers being against it. Then compounded by a federal government that continues to talk about viable coal power. Beggars belief in a state - and country - with so much sunshine.
The state and federal govts should pour the $1b instead into new projects that can generate greater prosperity for regional QLDers, rather than flogging a dead horse.
It's like car manufacturing all over again...
