Tanya Plibersek says the Regis goldmine can go ahead but it must move a proposed waste dump away from the Belubula River.Tanya Plibersek says the Regis goldmine can go ahead but it must move a proposed waste dump away from the Belubula River.Tanya Plibersek has hit out at “misinformation” over her decision to block a waste dump proposed as part of a goldmine development and urged the Coalition to “come clean” on whether it believes Indigenous heritage should be protected.
Plibersek said on Tuesday Australian governments had done a bad job of protecting Aboriginal cultural heritage and “the Juukan Gorge tragedy was an extreme example of that”. The state government confirmed it would meet with Regis on Tuesday to discuss a way for the mine to go ahead. The project had been approved by the NSW Independent Planning Commission but it also requires a federal assessment and decision.
