Australian union petition over Grosvenor Mine disaster a cynical diversion

Australian union petition over Grosvenor Mine disaster a cynical diversion Over 200 miners at Anglo-American’s underground Grosvenor Mine, amounting to around 75 percent of the workforce, have signed a petition calling for the dismissal of the site’s senior leadership team. The mine, located in Central Queensland, was the site of a massive methane gas explosion on May 6 last year that left five workers with horrific injuries. The petition, instigated by the Construction Forestry Maritime Mining and Energy Union (CFMMEU), declares that since the explosion, management at Grosvenor “have given us no reason to believe they have addressed the culture of poor safety or that they have put in place measures that will prevent a repeat disaster.”

Central Queensland mine reaches rehabilitation milestone

Former CQ mine site boasts a rich, revived landscape

Premium Content Subscriber only One of Central Queensland’s former open cut mines has received government sign-off on 133ha of rehabilitated mine land. Resources Minister Scott Stewart said areas of Glencore’s Oaky Creek coal mine had been transformed into natural and productive land thanks to the impressive rehabilitation program. “Up to 133 hectares of land that was once part of an open cut mine is now verdant landscape with native vegetation and is on track to being safely and sustainably passed on for the next land use,” Mr Stewart said. In 2018, the Palaszczuk Government passed mining rehabilitation legislation to ensure land no longer used for mining was returned to its original state, or better.
