Mining billionaire Gina Rinehart and the Indian government are inching closer towards bringing a huge magnetite operation in the Central Yilgarn region to life.

Gina Rinehart’s Hancock Prospecting has moved a step closer to developing a $5 billion magnetite project in Western Australia capitalising on support from the Indian government.

Almost half of businesses have no faith that Canberra bureaucrats can handle an environmental approvals system and would consider ditching major projects if timelines drag out any longer, a major survey has found.

Billionaire miner and investor Gina Rinehart wants Australians to keep their pressure up on politicians and says she uses only her influence to encourage policies which are clearly pro-Australia.

The Federal Government has approved the development and operation of up to 151 new coal seam gas wells by Senex Energy in Queensland.

A climate trigger would put more than $220 billion worth of economic investment at risk, according to new research being used to pressure Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to explicitly rule out adding it to Labor’s shakeup of environmental laws.

Labor’s proposed Federal nature watchdog risks being an expensive, bloated bureaucracy that is unaccountable and highly secretive, a conservative think tank has warned.

“They understand us, they support us and they have become a part of our community,” he says. “You won’t hear too many people out here complaining about the gas industry.”

A climate trigger is looming as an “ever-present threat” that is stifling industry confidence as the Government revamps environmental laws, the nation’s peak mining body has warned.

By the end of the 2025 financial year, the number of staff employed by the federal government in regulatory roles will be more than 106,000.

The Federal Government has given the green light for Senex Energy to build more than 120 new gas wells in southern Queensland, fuelling the company’s ambitious expansion plan.

Western Australia is the engine room of the Australian economy, generating wealth and opportunity for the benefit of every Australian.

Yet time and again, the enterprise and hard work of West Australians is undermined by the ideologically driven east coast elite.
