Adani director appointed to body overseeing mining giant's coal port despite conflict of interest warning

The Queensland Government appointed an Adani company director to chair the authority overseeing the Abbot Point coal port, despite being warned of "potential conflicts of interest".

Brad Fish was a director of Adani's Abbot Point Operations Pty Ltd when he was made the chair of the state-owned North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation (NQBP).

NQBP oversees the ports at Weipa, Mackay, Hay Point and Abbot Point.

Adani runs the only operating coal terminal at Abbot Point, north of Bowen.

Mr Fish's appointment as NQBP chair was made in September 2015 by Treasurer Curtis Pitt.

He did not resign the directorship of Abbot Point Operations until November 11, 2015.

"It's undoubtedly a conflict of interest, and the real question then becomes how do you manage the conflict," said University of Queensland Professor of Commercial Law, Ross Grantham.

And politicians today wonder why the public is becoming more and more disenfranchised with politicians. What a disgraceful decision.

Would this be the work of everyone's favourite premier, the woman who single handley has saved Queensland from everything, village idiot and tuck shop lady supremo?

You should blame the LNP for not winning the last election and not giving you the LNP to blame for this outrage. Grin

Not everyone’s favourite premier . . .

In fact now the smacking low lives are looking at getting QSuper to invest in it !

Dump the risk onto retirees !

I have actually emailed QSuper to get confirmation.
