A miner issue

[Banditbandit]

Remember when the greenstone thief's helicopter fell out of the sky into Lake Wanaka shortly afterwards? Odd I thought.

Yeah ... they pissed off the wrong gods that day ..

I suppose if there was a chance of foul play ie: greenie activist tampering with the mine before morning shift... we will never hear about it.

Imagine the division within NZ that would cause.

....and they would have used that invisble body paint to get past the cctv at the entrance of the mine?...sneaky fullas those greenies.

They could probably help by cleaning it up?

Is the coal now on fire?

Looks like it. They will be lucky to find ash if it is. Very Sad.

Actually not a bad idea,send them in there they can start now.

One thing for sure, this misfortune is not the fault of the Greens. They didn't force the mining company to mine. If you want to blam anyone, blame ourselves. For without Consumers, there would be no need for mining.

Not blaming them as such but there intervention sure didnt help,that mines on the same seam as Brunner and Strongman,all things considered when will they wake up to the fact that open cast is the only safe way to go not to mention the cost.

Sorry, but call me a Greenie. The true value is in the life above that mine. Open Cast mining would seriously damage that, and we don't need the Coal that badly.

Your opinion and your entilted to it,coming from the Coast originally and with plenty of miners in the family my opinion differs.We are an island in the middle of nowhere which to survive needs to export not to mention the employment issue.This country has far more to worry about than the effects of coal mining on the Westcoast,would give the Greenies some respect if they had a go at tackling the real issues fucking this country up,if there so worried about what happens to the land why dont they jump up and down everytime the Maori get given yet another slice of it.

Looks like the Aussies are going to try a big new open-cast coal mine near Westport. Brave lads IMHO thinking they will get resource consent. Time will tell.

+1. If nothing else, it should give Greenpiss a heart attack.

They will probably spend 10 mil on trying to achieve resource consent and them give up never to return to NZ!

Great more Aussies trying ta tell us what ta do. Who will make the money out of it? They will. They can take that Idea and shove it with their Aussie Actors Union. If we going ta mine, we should run it ourselves, so the profit at least stays in the Country.
