Modelling by EY suggests that mining rehabilitation laws that have been proposed by Queensland’s Treasurer Jackie Trad could lead to the closure of 16 mines and have a $100 billion impact on the state’s mining sector. The Queensland division of the CFMMEU and the Queensland Resources Council have jointly called on the state government to split its proposed legislation and enter into further negotiations over disputed aspects of the bill.

Businessman Clive Palmer has warned that the Environmental Protection (Chain of Responsibility) Amendment Bill could result in excessive costs of environmental clean-ups from failed mining projects. The Bill was introduced in Queensland’s Parliament by Environment Minister Steven Miles on 15 March 2016. Palmer also said that the laws would have detrimental effect on investment in Queensland.
