Industry groups supporting the coal company had also claimed Adani\u2019s controversial plans would fund schools, hospitals and other infrastructure for \u201calmost a century\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guardian Australia analysis also found that the Abbot Point port, operated by an Adani entity under a 99-year lease signed in 2011, rarely pays tax. Over a 10-year period, it paid company tax on port income on just one occasion, of less than $4m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy judgment on this is that this company is absolutely set up to never make taxable profit. The related-party transactions are so big and wild and all over the map that this company will never make a profit on paper and will never pay a cent of tax.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>So the government is taking kickbacks under the table to give OUR resources away for free again.
