"The Queensland Resources Council Board considered the issue of an anti-Greens campaign carefully before the Board decided to proceed with the campaign.
"This campaign is consistent with campaigns previously run by other mining organisations in other states.
"The QRC has made a decision in relation to the anti-jobs policies of the Greens that is in the best interests of Queensland mining and gas members, and the 372,000 people and 14,400 businesses who rely on the resources sector for their livelihoods.
"The resources industry will continue to support the economy and jobs of Queenslanders despite the Greens wanting to shut the industry down.
"The current situation is so dire the QRC has to stand up for its industry, particularly people in regional areas."
