  • End the billions in handouts to coal, oil and gas corporations.
  • Introduce a climate trigger to assess the environmental impact of mines and developments.

Labor Party

Liberal-National coaltion

  • For decades the mining and resources sector has not only provided good jobs and bolstered our economy but sustained public investment in healthcare, schools and infrastructure. The Coalition stands unwaveringly with Australia’s resources sector – when that industry is strong, our nation is strong.
  • [A Dutton coalition government will] turbocharge our mining and resources sector by accelerating approvals and cutting red and green tape.
  • Protect jobs and businesses in traditional local industries like timber, salmon and mining that are under threat from Labor and the Greens.
