The Queensland Premier has accused Federal Environment Minister Tony Burke of going "rogue" and has called on the Prime Minister to pull him into line.
It is the latest verbal salvo over the approval process for a multi-million-dollar mine project in central Queensland.
The state and federal governments had been working on a single environmental approval process for the Alpha Coal Project in the Galilee Basin.
Mr Burke has halted the approval process in response to the State Government's environmental impact statement, which he labelled a "shambolic joke".
But Premier Campbell Newman says most of the work of the report was done during the term of the previous state Labor government.
