Enemies of the state courier mail

The Courier-Mail is a daily newspaper published in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. While it's not uncommon for newspapers to publish articles critical of government policies or actions, the term "enemies of the state" is a rather dramatic and sensationalized phrase.

That being said, I can try to provide some context and examples of articles or opinions published in The Courier-Mail that may have been critical of government policies or actions. Keep in mind that the newspaper's editorial stance and content can vary depending on the topic and the political climate.

Here are a few examples:

  1. In 2019, The Courier-Mail published an editorial criticizing the Queensland Government's handling of the Adani Carmichael coal mine project, which was approved despite environmental concerns.
  2. In 2020, the newspaper published an article highlighting the concerns of local residents and environmental groups about the proposed expansion of the Abbot Point coal terminal in North Queensland.
  3. In 2018, The Courier-Mail published an opinion piece by a columnist criticizing the Federal Government's handling of the National Energy Guarantee (NEG) policy, which aimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
  4. In 2017, the newspaper published an article about the controversy surrounding the Queensland Government's decision to privatize the state's electricity assets, which was met with opposition from unions and some community groups.

It's worth noting that while these examples may be critical of government policies or actions, they are not necessarily examples of "enemies of the state" in the classical sense. The term "enemies of the state" typically implies a more extreme or treasonous opposition to the government, which is not the case in these examples.

If you're looking for more specific information or context about The Courier-Mail's coverage of government policies or actions, I'd be happy to try and help you with that!
