The main purpose of the media source, “Adani’s black-throated finch management plan given the green light”, is to report concerning the black-throated finch management plan proposed by Adani, a company that had just been approved by the Queensland government to build a coal mine at Carmichael near Clermont in the Galilee Basin. This area was home to the endangered bird species called the black-throated finch management. Therefore building a coal mine company might lead to the destruction of very rare birds. The media source also presents the management plan presented by the company, including the commitments made by the company in order to protect the endangered bird species. These commitments and resource allocation by the company is seen as being appealing and satisfying for the Queensland government despite the government’s statement acknowledging “the bird’s status as endangered”.
One of the ideas presented by the media source is on the status of Adani Company on their coal mine project. The paper presents the environmental issues presented by the company’s project, the company’s plan on managing the environmental issues that their project poses, and also the Queensland government response to the proposal made by the company. Adani had made adjustments to its black-throated finch management plan that required approval by the Queensland government in order for the company to kick off their coal mine construction project.
As Adani Australia chief executive, Lucas Dow, states, “the company had made changes to its most recent plan to satisfy the government.” After the management plan being approved, Adani is still waiting for their plan to restrict their project’s impact on artesian bore water springs-the Doongmabulla Springs. Adani is also required to reach an agreement with the government’s treasury on how they are going to be paying their royalties in order to kick off their project. Hereby, the media source seems to be reporting on the status of Adani’s coal mine project.
