Treasury modelling suggests that mining companies could receive $17.6bn worth of production tax credits over 14 years for the downstream processing of critical minerals. Opposition leader Peter Dutton has labelled the budget measure as "billions for billionaires" and committed to vetoing the policy. However, Mineral Resources’ MD Chris Ellison believes that Dutton will eventually realise that he is wrong to oppose a policy that will support projects that will contribute revenue for more than five decades. Meanwhile, Mineral Resources has begun loading the first shipment of iron ore from its Onslow Iron Project in the West Pilbara; work on the project started less than a year ago.
