In this episode of The NBR Podcast with Simon Shepherd: Mining is back in favour with 11 projects on the Government’s new Fast-Track Approvals Bill. What does that mean for environmental protection measures? We talk to both sides, with a focus on Oceana Gold’s proposal to mine underneath conservation land in the Coromandel.
Timestamps below:
(04:47) - I have spoken to Oceana Gold and they say that this will not lessen their approach to environmental safeguards.
(07:43) - There is the perception that this new process undermines or overrides current environmental protection laws. What do you say to that?
(11:26) - Does it give a sense there's no point anymore in trying to oppose any of these projects on environmental grounds?
