Mining

 

In brief:

·        Back mining as the bedrock of WA's prosperity

·        Support local mining companies and jobs

·        Faster, fairer project approvals

·        Create a uranium mining industry that benefits WA

 

We understand that mining is the bedrock of WA's prosperity, and we will encourage ongoing investment in it.

One Nation will have a focus on supporting local mining companies and jobs so their profits are more likely to be re-invested in our state.

We will also prioritise the retainment of prime agricultural land over mining activity, considering the limited amount of usable fertile land in WA. 

We will also reduce the time it takes to make decisions in relation to projects by investing in more resources for Government approval processes and making them more efficient, transparent and fair.

One Nation supports the creation of a uranium mining industry in Western Australia, and will consider equity share arrangements to ensure Western Australians receive the primary benefit from this resource.

By having a constructive and cooperative approach with the mining sector, One Nation will ensure we get more from our mineral wealth.
