The mining industry wants the latest changes made to the Fast Track Bill, to be its last.
Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop yesterday announced Cabinet will recommend changes to the proposed law, to the Environment Select Committee.
It includes changing who has the final say - from ministers to an independent panel.
Minerals industry association Straterra calls it a watering-down of the scheme.
Chief Executive, Josie Vidal told Ryan Bridge she doesn't understand why ministers can't make the decisions, which they are elected for.
