Queensland to announce major investment in rail infrastructure.

Australia's Queensland state will announce a major investment in rail infrastructure in the Galilee Basin to ensure that one of the mega mines proposed by India's Adani group and GVK get a clearance next year.

Queensland Premier Campbell Newman, who held talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently, said he was prepared to invest in capital works to ensure that the projects get off the ground.

The offer came even as the G20 leaders affirmed their commitment to boosting energy efficiency and phasing out fossil fuel subsidies that encouraged wasteful consumption.
