MineX rocks Isa BY DEREK BARRY
MOUNT Isa farewelled another MineX with a gala concert at Buchanan Park. After three days of everything showcasing everything new and innovative in the mining industry Saturday night was the chance for the expo to let its hair down to some live music. Newcastle country rockers Hurricane Fall headed the bill on a cool Saturday night in the North West in the Rodeo Forecourt. They were supported by Pacific Groove and Bulldust and the night was topped off with fireworks. The free entry concert for all ages with food, bar and trade stalls was one of the innovations of this year's MineX along with its first ever Saturday opening.
With the temperatures dropping into single digits, the best way for the crowd to keep warm was to dance and that's exactly what they did for most of the night. Friday was also open to the public but it was Thursday's trade only day where the industry insiders had the chance to do deals with many locals operators, businesses and councils involved in the meet-the-buyer sessions.
There were also information sessions about local operations such as MMG's Dugald River, Capricorn Copper at Gunpowder, and Aeon Metal's Walford Creek exploration. Hundreds of delegates packed out Mount Isa's motels for the three days getting the tourism event season off to a bang. MineX will return again to Mount Isa in 2021. See more photos P9.

Adani job forecast slashed as low as 800
SARAH ELKS
QUEENSLAND POLITICAL REPORTER
The workforce at Indian mining conglomerate Adani’s mine in jobs-starved central Queensland could be as low as 800 once the Carmichael facility is operational. The contentious project, which would open up the Galilee Basin resources province, was spruiked in 2010 as one of the world’s largest mega-mines, requiring a $16.5 billion investment, yielding 60 million tonnes of coal a year, and creating up to 4000 jobs in construction and 5000 operationally. Last year, the company said it would selffinance the project, and dramatically scaled back its plans, promising a shorter 200km rail line, a smaller $2bn mine, and an annual yield of 10 million tonnes. While supporters of the Carmichael project consider it essential for direct and indirect jobs in Queensland’s regions, Adani detractors have questioned whether the environmental cost is worth the employment benefits. In response to questions from The Australian, an Adani Mining spokeswoman said the redesigned development would create 1500 direct jobs and 6750 indirect jobs during ramp-up and construction. But Adani would not
say exactly how many jobs would be available once the mine was running. “Job numbers for operational open-cut coalmines of a similar size in Queensland range between 800 and 1500 roles,” she said. “When the Carmichael mine enters operation we expect it to require a similar amount of operational roles.” The spokeswoman said Adani would not hire foreigners with 457 visas to work on the mine, and said the company remained “committed to Townsville and Rockhampton as the primary hubs of employment for the Carmichael project”. Adani did not say whether its contractors would be prevented from hiring foreign workers, and did not say whether the company would guarantee it would buy Australian equipment. “Our tender and recruitment processes are structured to ensure preference is given to regional Queensland workers and businesses,” the Adani spokeswoman said. She confirmed the mine would not be automated, despite comments from the company’s CEO in 2015 that the mine would use driverless trucks and all vehicles would be capable of automation. “We will use the same conventional coalmining techniques and
equipment used in other Queensland coalmines,” she said. CFMEU national president Tony Maher said Adani must guarantee that all ongoing production jobs at its Carmichael mine were permanent. “If half the jobs are casual labour hire with no holidays, no job security, and 30 per cent less pay, it will be a slap in the face for local community workers who have supported the project in good faith,” Mr Maher said. Australia Institute senior researcher Tom Swann said Adani had given different jobs figures to different people at different times. “In court, Adani’s own economist said the mine and rail line would see 1500 jobs, direct and indirect, over its life,” Mr Swann said. “Since the court admission … the mine project has been downscaled from 40 million tonnes a year to 10 million tonnes, and Adani promised to automate the entire thing. Adani have not explained how a smaller mine project could possibly deliver more jobs than it promised in court from a bigger project.’’ Adani says it could start construction on the mine within weeks if it receives the green light from environment officials.

Miles backs Trad’s ‘pretty accurate’ mea culpa on Carmichael mine
DOMANII CAMERON SARAH VOGLER
SENIOR Palaszczuk Government Minister Steven Miles has backed Deputy Premier Jackie Trad’s extraordinary admissions on Facebook, in which she wrote that Labor had failed to convince coal-dependent communities that it was serious about protecting their jobs. Ms Trad (pictured) took to Facebook on Sunday night to defend her government amid the backlash that has followed federal Labor’s drubbing at last month’s election. Mr Miles said Ms Trad’s post was “pretty accurate”. “I say this as someone who has been active in campaigning on climate change for more than a decade,” he said. “We need to create jobs and we need to act on climate change at the same time.” In her post, Ms Trad conceded Labor didn’t do enough to convince regional Queenslanders the party was as serious about protecting jobs as they
were about climate change. Mr Miles, who is expected to be involved in Climate Week activities alongside former US president Al Gore this week, said the issue was much bigger than the Adani mine. “The project that’s the subject of so much debate right
now (Adani) is relatively small in the scheme of things,” he said. “Although it does open up a new basin, the Government has said that the environmental regulator will make final decisions relating to its groundwater plan in coming weeks. “But it really, I think, has distracted us from the main game of getting an economy-wide solution to reduce emissions.“ Deputy Opposition Leader Tim Mander said Ms Trad’s post was just a way of countering the backlash. “Jackie Trad can’t spin her way out of the fact that she’s anti-resources, antiregions and anti-jobs,” he said. “I think she’s trying to justify the backlash since the last federal election, but if Jackie Trad needed the last federal
election results to know the sentiment of regional Queensland, it shows how out of touch she really is.”

Protest’s just begun THE chair of Townsville Enterprise Limited (TEL), Kevin Gill, thinks that “noisy [anti-Adani] activists”, such as myself maybe, “don’t understand the importance of mining to our broader economy and that mining jobs are honest jobs, not to be sneered at by minority interests”. (TB 3/6) First Mr Gill, I do understand the importance of mining in Townsville. The City Council’s website’s latest figures show that mining (all mining, not just coal) accounts for just 0.9 per cent of jobs. Second, I have never said or thought that mining jobs are not “honest jobs” and have never “sneered” at such jobs (or the people who undertake them). In short, I reject and deplore your unfounded and divisive allegations. I do believe that “regional Queensland families deserve to have the opportunity to make an honest dollar for their families’ futures”. I also believe that regional Queensland, the rest of the state, country and planet deserve clean healthy jobs that do not exacerbate the current climate crisis. That means no new coal. But let’s look at the job numbers. Adani is now saying that its very much smaller mine (10m rather than 60m tonnes per year) will create 8250 direct and indirect jobs (TB 3/5). Hogwash. In the Land and Environment Court, Adani’s expert witness declared under oath that the total number of jobs for the large (60m) mine, would be 1464 rather than the 10,000 that they, as well as politicians and media, spruiked and continue to spruik. But even if the larger number were true, is Adani such a poor manager that a 600 per cent decrease in the size of the project would deliver a mere 8 per cent decrease in employment? With the state capitulation to the poor plan for endangered black-throated finches, and the Federal Government ignoring the advice of CSIRO on water management, it is no longer possible or persuasive to say that the project has been subject to the “strictest regulatory framework”.
Rest assured, “noisy activists” are not going to quieten down. So rather than trying to suppress free speech, maybe you should look at the plight of those Townsvilleans working in the tourism industry who are facing the death of the Great Barrier Reef on your doorstep as a result of increasing carbon emissions.
