Minns has doubled down on his criticism of federal Labor Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek, saying he believed the decision to knock back the proposal had been made in error.
NSW Premier Chris Minns has criticised federal Labor colleague Tanya Plibersek over her rejection of a proposed gold mine in Blayney, calling the “eleventh-hour” decision “disappointing”.
The Western Australia-based company claimed Plibersek’s decision risked the future of the McPhillamys gold project, hundreds of direct jobs and about $200 million in royalties for NSW. Pressed on whether he disagreed with Plibersek’s reversal under section 10 of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act, Minns replied: “I’ve said that many times.”
