Statement by Deb Frecklington, Shadow Minister for Water and the Construction of Dams
The Palaszczuk Government’s decision to approve the mining lease for Stage 3 of the New Acland Coal Mine is long overdue.
This approval should have been given a long time ago.
Now there is only one thing standing in the way.
The Minister must grant the associated water licence for the mine.
I implore the Minister not to dither – a decision must be made.
The people of the Darling Downs cannot continue to be hung out to dry.
