About the Bill
On 31 October 2018, Mr Michael Berkman MP, Member for Maiwar, introduced the Mineral Resources (Galilee Basin) Amendment Bill 2018 into the Queensland Parliament. The Bill was referred to the State Development, Natural Resources and Agricultural Industry Development Committee for detailed consideration.
The explanatory notes outline that the objective of the bill is to contribute to Australia’s commitments to pursue efforts to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels by 2100 by preventing any coal mining in the Galilee Basin.
To achieve its policy objectives the Bill will amend the Mineral Resources Act 1989 to stop all coal mining in the Galilee Basin. The Bill:
- prohibits the grant of a coal mining lease for land in the Galilee Basin;
- terminates any existing coal mining leases for land in the Galilee Basin;
- amends any existing coal mining leases which overlap with land in the Galilee Basin to exclude that land;
- confirms that no compensation is payable to the mining lease holders affected by the Bill; and
- requires the mines minister to table a report in the Legislative Assembly summarising the actions taken under the provisions of the Bill.
