Maybe. Even probably, but nobody has so far.Same as what happened at Kimba SA. The Indigenous land owners took the Feds to court and it was squashed.
But someone will take the money, one day.

But isn't 99.99999% of everything written these days biased n self indulgenced fact??? Just pick a flavour that suits your preferences.Dont confuse opinion written by Nick Cater as fact.
In a word, no. Stupid statement. There is good, well researched, balanced information, there is total propaganda *smile*, and everything in between. It isn't hard to sort the wheat from the chaff, if you're savvy. Cookers, for example, are not savvy.But isn't 99.99999% of everything written these days biased n self indulgenced fact???

Based on history I am not sure if they are "facts" but i can be arsed checking any of them.He supplied plenty of facts to go with his opinion. Can you refute any or is it just your opinion on the bloke?
This assertion, which you hear over and over again from conservative hacks with no supporting evidence, makes want to fair dinkum spew up! It drives me *smile* mental. It is completely false on so many levels.Red tape and environmental lawfare make it impossible to open new mines, despite buoyant global demand.
Always good, well researched n balanced information when it fits a certain narrative. If not, then the cookers are running amok again, obviously .There is good, well researched, balanced information,

Somewhere in the middle will be the truth
Science and engineering has the "truth" - left and right are irrelevant except in terms of virtue signalling.
Renew Economy has an agenda to promote renewables but at least it's largely data and science based.

I believe he was talking about coal mines.This assertion, which you hear over and over again from conservative hacks with no supporting evidence, makes want to fair dinkum spew up! It drives me *smile* mental. It is completely false on so many levels.
1) Impossible to open new mines? Mines are very difficult to build and have a long life. 1 or 2 might start production every year, if you're lucky, another 1 or 2 will close after a 20-60 year life. Its just how it works. Has always been the way, and still is, yet this clown implies its new and due to the hippie menace. he makes it sound like it would be possible to just start up a mine, say a nickel mine, if the price of nickel spikes, hey presto lets watch the cash roll in!! It is ludicrous. Moronic.
2) Re Red Tape, again, totally false. Mines in developed nations take between 5 and 15 years, sometimes more, to set up, Australia is the same as Canada, the US, Europe in terms of approvals. Heres the thing, they take the same amount of time in developing nations where there may be less stringent approvals, due to other barriers, corruption, political instability, poor infrastructure etc.
3) re Red tape again, mines are massive to set up, massive finance, engineering, approvals (or red tape as clown man NC and his idiot mates like to call it). Mining companies do the engineering and design, the financing and the approvals CONCURRENTLY. If one gets done quick, the other will tend to slow it down, but usually, they all take time, they are massive undertakings, all 3.
But Don't my word for it, lets ask the Mining Industry swinging dicks. the global mining industry economics organisation, the Canadian Fraser Institute, does an annual survey of mining Executives, published in Mining Weekly. The main line of questioning is investment attractiveness. WA is number 2 this year, Nevada 1st, SA, NT, QLD are all in the top 10. The whole top 10, is states or provinces of Aus, USA and Canada, which all have the evil red tape that dares to make sure mining companies are doing things properly.
Mining is all about the MINERAL DEPOSIT. If a company finds a high-grade deposit reasonably close to a road or a port, whether its Manangatang, Humpty Doo, Timbuktu or wherever, they will make it happen, and it take 10 to 15 years.

He may have been talking about coal mines, its irrelevant, 1) my points all apply to coal mines, nickel mines, copper/ zinc/ lead mines, you name it. 2) Conservative hacks trot out this *smile* line, with no evidence, knowing that the vast majority of the public don't know how things work, knowing that its a good soundbite, often and in regard to any given mineral or petroleum commodity.I believe he was talking about coal mines.
But where’s there’s a quid to be made. It will usually happen. A few palms greased helps politicians get over any personal beliefs or party doctrines. I refer to the Adana Mine in Queensland. Pollies soon got over any environmental concerns.
Many state and eve; the Feds have an aversion to coal, especially using it in coal fired generators. But are quick t9 give the go Achaea’s to send it overseas for other countries to spew em into the atmosphere.
As long as they get their royalties and we will all drive ev’s. That will make up for it.

Shouldn't take any more than a year or two at most once you've established you've got a suitable deposit of stuff in the ground. Use your mining equipment to scrape a track, then start digging a humungous hole in the ground so ya can send the rocks to China n make some money, jobs done easy as.He may have been talking about coal mines, its irrelevant, 1) my points all apply to coal mines, nickel mines, copper/ zinc/ lead mines, you name it. 2) Conservative hacks trot out this *smile* line, with no evidence, knowing that the vast majority of the public don't know how things work, knowing that its a good soundbite, often and in regard to any given mineral or petroleum commodity.
The Adani case is very complex, your post is a mess, a tangle of complicated interrelated factors, some are correct and I agree with, some are not. I can't write an essay, but to bring it back to my point and criticism of Cater, the Adani mine would have taken just as long to establish as it actually took, even if there was little or no environmental opposition. Thats my point, mines have very long lead times, 20 or 30 years from finding the deposit to shipping product, thats how long it takes, regardless of opposition. Conservative hacks trying to pin long lead times on evil lefty activists is lies, total *smile*.
China is going to own the world in a couple of decades.
The main issue with renew economy is their position works (probably) in 10-15 years time and won't deal with what happens in the time in between. Its the inconvenient truth that QOL goes down a lot to transition.

On Cater, he is a conservative hack. I've explained why, using one particular aspect of his argument. I could write a tome and demolish him from every angle, but I don't have the time or the inclination, what would be the point? Its been done plenty of times. He's a hack shock jock masquerading as a research analyst.How is my post a mess? What factors are incorrect?
So out of the entire article, You take the part that says ….Its impossible to open new mines and go on a rant about “conservative hacks”
What about the rest of the article? That was more enlightening than just about opening new (coal) mines.
Whats your take on that? You missed the objective of the article of course.
Even lefty activists don’t get everything right
