Whither Mining in Australia?

God knows Big Island feels heat strains …

Low pressure now brings feisty rains;

To replenish reservoirs is fine

But gullies overflow big time!

 

Poor vision under stormy cloud

Noontime dark casts heavy shroud;

When views ahead are just a blur

Traffic accidents occur …

 

Australia – land of extremes

Where being close to Nature means

Devastated regions overnight!

Man’s touch, though well meant, is kept slight.

 

Mining ores have made it rich

But climate change means punters switch

Their allegiance for this vote*

Against new mines in sites remote …

 

Tasmania’s forests under threat;

Tungsten and lithium projects get

The go-ahead from Lib. PM**

But is this just a ploy pro tem.?
