World Heritage Committee meeting (Paris, June 2011) Advice from Australia of approval for GLNG project on Curtis Island seemingly misinterpreted: ‘The World Heritage Centre and IUCN recall the Committee’s position that exploration and development of oil and gas should not take place within World Heritage properties, as recognised in leading industry commitments to not explore for, or develop, oil and gas resources in natural World Heritage properties.’ What difference a map might have made to the understanding of the Australian advice – or would it? Curtis Island Coal-seam gas exploration and development 0 The anti-coal movement took its cue... ‘...build the anti-coal movement and mobilise off the back of the community backlash to coal-seam gas.’ ‘UNESCO has lodged a complaint to the Australian Government and will be inspecting the site in March 2012. What happens in Gladstone will have major implications which may limit other proposed new coal ports up the Queensland coast – all of which are also in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park – and can help to mobilize a powerful constituency to protect the Reef from the impacts of the coal boom.’ UNESCO monitoring mission report sets the stage... ‘...the current approach to the development and construction of Gladstone Harbour and on Curtis Island are not consistent with the highest standards of best practice, commensurate with status of an iconic World Heritage property, and those applied to other management challenges both within and outside World Heritage property’s (sic) in Australia.’ (2012 Reactive Monitoring Mission report) ‘The project (Fight for the Reef) is run jointly by WWF and the Australian Marine Conservation Society is a coalition initiated by the (Thomas) Foundation.’ Social media declares GBR Marine Park dead in 2013 Where’s the science? QRC pushing back with facts REEFVTS 24/7 ship monitoring, Townsville ‘Get the facts’ focus of TV advertising www.reeffacts.qld.gov.au Changing the story of gas The Australia Institute (founding member anti-coal movement) ‘Fracking the Future’ ‘What Australians don’t know about CSG’ ‘$2.9 billion CSG surcharge’ ‘Cooking up a price rise’ ‘Mining the age of entitlement’ It should be recognised that The Australia Institute (TAI) is part of a wider movement to stop coal and coal seam gas development in Australia – a movement that includes Greenpeace and Beyond Zero Emissions, so its motives are clear. APPEA statement, March 2014 Creating investor uncertainty Creating a link between gas and public health ‘Locals are doing everything they can to spread the word about the dangers of coal seam gas (CSG) mining. Debbi, a GetUp! member from Tara QLD, even drove 5 hours down to NSW to tell a community meeting what coal seam gas is doing to her kids' health.’ Count on the debate intensifying... debate the on Count State of play and next steps with the Reef > June 2014 - WHC welcomes progress by Australia on management of GBR but ‘in- danger’ listing still a threat for June 2015 meeting > End 2014 – Long Term Sustainability Plan for GBR finalised and submitted to WHC > December 2014 – first gas exports from Gladstone will attract ENGO focus > Ongoing – ENGO campaign to demonise ports, dredging and shipping as key threats to GBR health; other anti-coal and gas tactics will continue to be pursued > Ongoing – QRC and other industry campaigns to highlight facts and science > First half 2015 – possible Abbot Point Stage One dredging > June 2015 – WHC meeting will consider possible GBR ‘in-danger’ listing.

  • ~IVIEI::.. 3Rd March 2012
    ~IVIEI::.. 3rd March 2012 Tim Bryant Secretariat Senate Economics Legislation Committee Parliament House CANBERRA ACT 2600 Dear Tim Senate Economics Committee Inquiry into the Minerals Resource Rent Tax - Questions on Notice Thank you for the opportunity of providing separate responses to various Questions on Notice asked at the Senate Economics Committee hearing held on 21 February 2012. AMEC would also like to provide some additional and relevant comments concerning the MRRT for the consideration of the Committee. Q from the Chair, page 56- How many small miners are currently making an annual profit of more than $75 million a year? Response In respect of the MRRT legislation, AMEC considers that a small miner should be defined as a miner producing less than ten million tons of iron ore or coal per annum. 1 2 According to Intierra , in the calendar year 2010 there were six iron ore producers and ten coal producers in production in this category. Examining the most recent annual reports of the iron ore3 producer's shows three of the six iron ore producers made a "company profit" in excess of $75 million. Four of these companies are single commodity producers (iron ore) while the other two produce other commodities. AMEC is unable to separate any iron ore profit from the balance of the company profits in the later two cases. Of the two iron ore companies mentioned by me in the hearing on 21 February, BC Iron only entered production in the first half of the 2011/12 financial year and therefore full annual financial data is unavailable.
