A worker at a company bidding for an Adani contract tells the ABC she is leaking inside information to environmental activists so they can target her employer.

Sue — whose identity and employment have been confirmed by the ABC — said she was not anti-mining but"just concerned about mining of certain resources and thermal coal is obviously a big problem".

The most divisive project in recent Australian history can finally break ground. But sceptics still struggle to see how Adani will turn a profit from a remote thermal coal mine in the era of the Paris climate agreement. "You can look after your own interests at a particular point in time, or you can look further down the track, which is something that people with children, or people who are aware of the [environmental] impacts of these sorts of things, will do.""There would have to be many, many people like me who will share information to try and prevent this mine going ahead," Sue said.

Galilee Blockade claimed that sources weeks earlier leaked key details about the deal, which the group said was a 12-month project to build a 75-kilometre rail line with a workforce of about 100, starting in late 2019.In a leaked email to staff, BMD executive director of operations Scott Power said the Adani deal was"very good news [but] our association with this project does put us at risk of being the target of anti-Adani protesters".

Willing to risk a career? I don't think so other wise you'd use your actual name. Been in the job a while and still willing to take the money.

'Sue' eh?

NewtonMark It's amazing people like 'Sue' to risk so much to protect others. Shame ABC felt it needed to transmit lobbyists & their purchased politician uncritically. It was these politicians that wet themselves with joy at shuttering Australia's car industry, delighted at 10s of 1000s jobs

QRC n gov is abt coal jobs But we could start green jobs like hydrogen plant +solar farms Germany n China r pushing to use hydrogen trucks n buses

Biggest argument people make against stopadani is jobs. Totally agree jobs are important! Queenslanders need jobs that work with our land. Globally, governments are putting in place positive policies that promote conservation & sustainability that increase prosperity auspol

So someone admitted industrial espionage to the ABC, seems they are without conscience, and a liar, lacking ethics, loyalty to their workmates, and employer. I take it the ABC 'leaked' their disloyalty back to the employer, in same fashion? No? Government funded, support?

The need for an insider only exists when there is something to hide
