AAP: The federal government has approved a massive coalmining project in central Queensland that will be the largest in the country.
The environment minister, Greg Hunt, approved the 37,380-hectare Kevin's Corner project on Friday.
The mine, to be operated by a joint India-Australia consortium, GVK-Hancock, is the first to be approved since the introduction of a water trigger rule by the previous federal government.
