Many thanks to those people – and there were a lot – who put in submissions to the relevant departments regarding mining on the Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary.<\/p>\n
I believe about 700 submissions in all were received and I think a majority of them were against any sort of mining in the area.<\/p>\n
However it’s early days yet. It will be interesting to see what comes out of it all.<\/p>\n
Strange twist though…the Environment Minister announced, as submissions on Arkaroola’s future were closing, a new protected area, with no mining , on the Nullabor Plain. Figure that out.<\/p>\n
