Resource Minister Shane Jones has come under pressure from Labour and the Greens, over the Government's new plans for mining.
Jones wants to bolster gold and coal mining across the country, and to have a renewed focus on value-add refining.
Greenpeace NZ executive director Russell Norman told Heather du Plessis Allan “He’s getting rid of all environmental constraints expect one - mining in national parks – because that got him in trouble last time.”
Norman says “There’ll be no environmental balance to his desire to put a commercial incinerator next to your house.”
