Fantastic.

We can now Mine the West coast and Northland with little to no public backlash.

Sllightly of topic but Just a thought, The recent massive deposit discoveries in Afgahnistan may have made ours look feeble anyway, whos in charge over there these days hmmmm ?. Rare earth minerals are on the minds of most profit driven western leaders and they just found plenty. Instead of talking troop withdrawls as they have recently look for further deployment's instead, the lives of our men an women and theirs is a small price to pay for the amounts to be gained.

But to dismiss it out of hand without even investigating a single propasal or resource extraction method is just ignorant and short sighted. People have no idea what they are talking about or proposing yet still forced a decision , how is that even rational?

Hmmmm....sounds like greenies and so called academics trying to tell farmers how to farm.

Ignorant, short sighted and unrealistic!!

I read this comment from Michael Laws and find it very clearly states my own feelings on the matter!

I don't usually take much notice of him (because I met him when he a teenager and an unbearable upstart) but we agree almost 100% on this one!
