It’s concerning to see the ongoing tension between agricultural land use and mining interests, especially in areas considered vital for food production. The government’s finding that the exploratory permit for a coal mine in Bundaberg is not in the public interest underscores the importance of prioritizing sustainable land use and protecting prime agricultural land.
