Traditional owners should stick to hunting kangaroos, while the rest of us create the wealth they lean on

😳

And as usual the local aboriginal activists oppose the mine and jobs etc.

The plans are from 2008. Clearly Hancock aren't interested any more. I'd be asking what the government is doing with the MRF payments. Taxpayers have hundreds of millions of $ in the fund, specifically for legacy rehabilitation.

Hope she will do it personally.

GOD is spelled M O N E Y! Does she think she can take it with her?

Hong Kong company with stake in $3.8b casino venture linked to Chinese TriadAn ABC investigation reveals the links between a company with a major stake in Australia's most expensive casino venture and notorious organised crime figures in Hong Kong and Macau. Excellent. So no links then. Typical ABC BS. Does not surprise me Australia maybe the lucky country but we have most gutless and corrupt governments. Who really don't care as along as they benefit. The Chinese CCP run the gas mines from Dalby to Miles.
