The Coalition leader is hoping use the voice campaign playbook to wedge the Albanese government over mining and the economy
There’s a clue to the double-edged nature of resources politics buried in the share-price red and green of the Australian Stock Exchange.
The McPhillamys decision is a useful vehicle for Dutton to target a group of voters he dearly wants to win over.The Coalition has carefully analysed the different reasons people had for voting no in last year’s defeated referendum on enshrining an Indigenous voice to parliament in the constitution, and especially those self-identified Labor voters who call themselves working people.
McDonald said the corporation isn’t the real voice of local traditional owners and the land council is the recognised authority. At the conference, Dutton tied the Regis decision to Labor’s broader environmental and cultural heritage agenda. He vowed to overturn it if he wins office, saying “that is just the start”.
For the miners, the main game is industrial relations – and Dutton had a different message for them: the only way you’ll dismantle the Labor IR laws you hate so much is to back the Coalition. The Minerals Council has already lent its support to Dutton’s nuclear reactors policy, even though it is absent any substantive and quantifiable detail on cost, implementation, or short-term or long-term impact on energy use and the climate.
