A disgraced athlete ero returns... to much dismay.
Green and Indigenous groups in Australia have criticised the government's decision to grant new approval to Indian mining giant Adani's $16.5 billion controversial coal mine project in central Queensland.
The federal court in August had revoked the original approval.
Adani, which estimates its project will generate more than A$22 billion ($15.6 billion) in taxes and royalties, has yet to line up funding but is sticking to a late 2017 start date.
Players competed at empty stadiums at Melbourne Park through the five-day lockdown but reduced capacity crowds of 7,477 have been permitted in each of Thursday's two sessions and the same number for the singles finals sessions on Saturday and Sunday.

The project was opposed by green groups and local residents.
The approval was announced by Environment Minister Greg Hunt, who said "after undertaking a thorough assessment and consideration under national environment law, I have approved the Carmichael Coal Mine and Rail Infrastructure project, subject to 36 strict conditions".
The project includes a 300 kms rail line connecting Adani's planned Carmichael Coal Mine, Northwest of clermont, to the Abbot Point Coal port, near the Great Barrier Reef.
OSCO E&C said Adani had asked it to halt its design work as of July 16, with tentative plans to resume work in early October.
Australian authorities scrambled on Sunday to file a legal defence of their decision to bar entry to tennis world number one Novak Djokovic over his COVID-19 vaccination status, as the Serbian superstar spent his fourth day in immigration detention.

The Greens are calling for an urgent investigation.
The challenge was launched by Mackay Conservation Group in January.

An Australian environmental group has launched a legal challenge against Adani Enterprises' $7 billion Carmichael coal mine project in the Galilee Basin.
Approval for Adani's Carmichael coal mine was set aside last week.
India is struggling with a second wave of the pandemic with more than 3,00,000 daily new coronavirus cases being reported in the past few days, and hospitals in several states are reeling under a shortage of medical oxygen and beds.

Morrison, the current treasurer, won an internal ballot 45-40 over former Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton.
Reports said that Adani took legal action to override the W&J people.
The Adanis' Australian dreams have been shattered.
