On 28 August, New South Wales Premier Chris Minns said that the state Independent Planning Commission's decision to allow the McPhillamys gold mine project to proceed was comprehensive and that it was also based, significantly, on the advice of the Orange Local Aboriginal Land Council. He said: 'And under those circumstances, I think the correct judgment was made.' Given the environment minister has taken completely the opposite position, can she explain how the IPC, the Orange land council and the Premier of New South Wales, Labor's Chris Minns, have managed to get this so very wrong?
