The Crisafulli Government has given its preliminary view on a Fox Coal mineral development licence application (MDL 3040) in the Bundaberg region.
Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister for Integrity Deb Frecklington has assumed responsibility for assessing the application to address a potential conflict of interest of the Minister for Natural Resources and Mines, Manufacturing and Regional and Rural Development Dale Last.
The Attorney-General’s preliminary view is that the application is not in the public interest.
The Department of Natural Resources and Mines, Manufacturing, and Regional and Rural Development is preparing a decision brief for consideration by the Attorney-General.
