Australian Coal Association

The Australian Coal Association (ACA) is an industry lobby group that represents "the interests of the black coal producers in Australia - located predominantly in New South Wales and Queensland, the States that produce around 97 per cent of Australia's black coal."

'Let's cut emissions, not jobs' advertising campaign
In late 2009 the ACA launched the "Let's cut emissions, not jobs" advertising campaign opposing the introduction of an emissions trading scheme. Advising on the campaign were advertising guru Neil Lawrence and the Liberal PR and lobbying firm, Crosby Textor.
