Goldmining Industry: McPhillamys Gold Project

It's unbelievable that we can draw a link between a go-kart track and a goldmine. But I again refer to this Labor government's job-destroying decision to block this much-needed mine and the 800 jobs that go with it, near Blayney in New South Wales. Local butcher Tanya Cassel and her husband chose to set up shop in Blayney eight years ago in the hope that this goldmine would boost their business once operational. What does the minister say to Ms Cassel, who said she was 'angry' at what this government 'has done to our little town'? Does the minister now concede she was wrong? (Time expired)
