    Where is the over sight of these mines? Are there any rules, or has it been a free for all?. Who rubber stamped it? The Murray Darling system could be devastated. [ worse case scenario. ] Words fail me.

    Glencore is now junk bond status, its market capitalisation is now worth about half of its debts. So you can bet us taxpayers will be left with the bill for the clean up (once again).

    Was it mining that was going to save our nation's bacon and create all those tens of thousands of jobs? (Thinking Adani's Galilee Basin project)

    I have a bad feeling about this.

    They reckon 40mm of rain will see spill over and run off with enough crap to poison the river.

    So much for social responsibility.

    Today's news is that unemployment in the mining sector is now at about 30%, perhaps we can introduce some work for the dole and send the unemployed mining engineers out to fix up their mess (at the same unemployment benefits as unemployed Ford and Holden workers).
