TTR - Trans Tasman Resources

[winner69]

The Supreme Court yesterday granted Trans Tasman Resources leave to appeal to reverse a Court of Appeal judgement which upheld a High Court decision stopping it from mining.

Bugger ...but I’ll gladly keep on donating to stop TTR pillaging the oceans off Taranaki

Seabed mining opponents outraged by Attorney-General intervention

The outrage appears to come from a belief that the Attorney-General will take a pro TTR approach, whereas it is said to be neutral and confined to points of law raised.

Looks to me like the outrage is intended to show the A-G whose in charge here. That would it seems be the Maori Party. Good luck with that.

Seems Supreme Court’s ruled against the seabed mining consent ...... hope Govt steps in and just puts a blanked ban on seabed mining in NZ waters ... forever

I have no real interest or expectation of any other outcome with this ...

but we are just importing the stuff from a war torn African country which I understand to be an illegal national entity.

And from my understanding there really would have been little environmental impact.

And we would have supplied our own country with the phosphate so badly needed.

But it was always gonna be OOOOOH SEABED MINING OOOOOOH <spooky noises>

So is this another case of virtue signalling at the actual detriment of the country?
