My question is simple. When will the state government start worrying more about the future of the state than the squeaky wheels of a few environmentalists?

Let's ensure people know and understand the facts about the issues that get all the play in the media. Take the time to visit and evaluate what the mines do and their value to our way of life.

The Mining industry is the back bone of industrialization of the world, if we want to lift countries and areas out of poverty we need mining. Australia is one of the leading countries in Mining technology and services, we can develop and share this to the global benefit.
The action of a few is hindering the oppotunities of many now and into the future.
Idealists, need to realize what they have in life is not by their good work but from the toil and hard work of others, so need to respect these jobs.

We have the same problems in NSW with those who believe they have a divine right to create mayhem as the resource communities suffer.

Enough is enough! Billions in revenue and tens of thousands of needed jobs in new Queensland mines are being stopped by activists exploiting legal loopholes.

It worries me that this kind of action is degrading Queensland as an investment destination. This is eroding the good work that the previous Government has done in reducing red tape. For investors - increased red tape means increased duration and increased costs in obtaining approvals. There will come a time when it is seen as too hard to invest!

I believe that opposition groups and NGO's should be held responsible and be required to act in a principled and ethical way with standards of behaviour that the rest of us have to abide by. Winning ät any cost" is not a constructive approach to decision making.

In a town that has been slowly dying - where jobs are as scarce as hen's teeth and local businesses are closing one by one - I am now faced with having to find another job to support my family after being put off by the company that cannot move forward because of constant opposition.

We must be encouraging development at times like this, not providing loopholes for the availability for hurdles to be put in place.

A beneficial generational project held to ransom by the possible disturbance of a gecko and a snake? It's not the fauna and flora which need help. "Thinking themselves wise, they became fools".

The approvals processes and subsequent legal matters are overwhelming complex and slow in Australia. Legal challenges to projects that have adhered to EIS processes faithfully need to be halted. Such matters should not be for the courts but a simple matter of producing the necessary management plans if they were not initially supplied.

More people working more tax is paid. Surely Government know this.
