To the Prime Minister, the decision by the Minister for the Environment and Water to make a section 10 declaration over the McPhillamys mine project near Blayney has been met with widespread shock, anger and concern in our local area. These concerns include the lack of transparency, lost jobs, the timing of the decision with state and federal environmental approvals already given, the contrary opinion of Orange Local Aboriginal Land Council and the impossibility of moving the dam within existing mine boundaries. Will you meet with me to discuss this, and will you now consider reversing this decision?
