Ms Rinehart presented a slideshow of points on opportunities to “cut red tape” on mining in Queensland. One of them was to amend section 260 of the mineral resources act to allow only entities with a direct property rights interest in the development to lodge objections to mining lease applications.

Australia’s richest person Gina Rinehart has hit out at the costly impact of a “net zero” policy on farmers, warning of high food prices, food shortages and an exodus of farmers if the Federal Government doesn’t change its direction. She urged economic gains from regional areas be returned to communities and net-zero ambitions abandoned for farmers. Mrs Rinehart said the mining industry would be able to afford the transition to net zero but other sectors, including agriculture would face a tougher time meeting requirements.
