In Townsville , Friday evening , at the MaryWho? bookshop, the launch of Lindsay Simpson's work Adani, Following its Dirty Footsteps: A Personal Story , will take place .
From fishing villages on the Gujarat coastline to Adani’s power plant in Mundra and the company’s headquarters in Ahmedabad, Simpson tracks how the Adani Group managed to woo Australian governments into approving Australia’s largest coal mine in the Galilee Basin and port expansion in a zone of great ecological sensitivity.
In an astute analysis of this ongoing environmental battle, the biggest since the Franklin Dam in the 1980s, Simpson argues that while Adani might have gained the backing of politicians, it has not won over the Australian people.
