Coal Australia

Coal Australia is a lobby group representing the Australian coal industry. It is newsworthy due to its significant financial contributions to political parties and campaign groups. Recent disclosures to the Australian Electoral Commission reveal that Coal Australia was the primary funder of 'Australians for Prosperity,' a campaign group that launched attack ads against Labor, the Greens, and teal independent candidates in the last federal election. Additionally, the organization is identified as a significant donor to Australian political parties ahead of the 2025 election, contributing to the millions donated by the fossil fuel sector. This highlights Coal Australia's active role in shaping the political landscape and influencing policy related to the coal industry.
