What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

NSW Premier Chris Minns supported the approval of a massive mine extension project near Singleton, which will extend coal pit operations until 2045 and 2042, securing approximately 1500 jobs. This decision prompted the Australian Conservation Foundation to issue an apology directed at Pacific islands within Fiji.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The mine extension is considered critical for the government's chances of retaining the Cessnock seat in the next state election. The approval also requires the mine to limit coal exports to jurisdictions with low-emissions policies and purchase additional carbon offsets.

Australian climate credentials were recently scrutinized in Fiji, which is hosting a climate summit supported by Australia.
