An extract from Turning the Tide, the latest Australian Marine Conservation supporter newsletter:
‘Last year the Adani Group renamed the Abbot Point coal terminal to “North Queensland Export Terminal” and also rebranded themselves as “Bravus”.
But their new name doesn’t hide the truth. Latin scholars have pointed out that the word bravus doesn’t actually mean brave, as intended, but actually translates to “crooked” or “mercenary”.’
Some say their new name could be used to hide their history.
Adani or Bravus – their coal still stinks.
