and so say I.

Nocg,

Happily you are not representative of the majority of voters.

Notably Tony Whinger did nothing either.

Shadow Minister. Windsor did many things which Barnaby could have used to stop Shenhua mine. eg Water Trigger, bio-regional and risk assessments, Namoi Catchment Water Study. All of which Windsor fought for only to have Barnaby sit idle. Country people have had enough of the Nationals and their servitude, bought on by large political donations, to the mining industries. In the meantime, Barnaby ignored all these measures Windsor introduced which would have had the mines rejected on a sound scientific basis. He chose instead to grab a few headlines. Please don't comment on issues of which you are ignorant.

Nocg,

It would appear that TW in his time did bugger all to stop mining in New England, and profited very nicely from it, the only reason he has suddenly converted is because politically expedient to do so.

The Shenhua mine, which was granted a license under labor, now looks as though it is going to be shelved, and mining rights which lined labor's coffers looks as though it will be bought back under the Libs.

I would also invite you not to speak on things that you are clearly ignorant.

Shadow Minister,
TW as I said previously, bought about Water Trigger, Bioregional and Risk assessments which Joyce could have used when the mine was presented to FEDERAL government. Until then it was in the STATE sphere. Yes Labor granted the exploration license but Liberal govt at State level extended licenses. Ignorance is bliss - continue to believe your own rhetoric. We prefer a representative that works for our electorate, not a headline grabbing very plain show pony.

The license was granted by Labor, however, what is stopping the development of the mine is not any water trigger, rather the low price of coal which makes it uneconomical to develop. On this basis the Liberal gov has offered to buy back the licenses. Keep up to date.

The only people you can blame for the Shenhua mine is Labor.

I prefer the candidate that works for the electorate and not for himself. I prefer Joyce over the show pony Tony whinger.
