Media coverage in the lead-up to and during the schedule 4 debate presented anti-mining advocacy with no analysis of their arguments, to the exasperation of the resource sector. Despite our attempts to set the record straight, little notice was taken, by opponents or the media. The only conclusion to be drawn is that environmental non-governmental organisations shunned rational debate in order to pursue a harmful campaign.
