Ramu mine waste dumping trial ? Update #3
998 further landowners join as additional plaintiffs
As the trial of the plaintiff?s application for a permanent injunction to stop the dumping of 100 million tons of mine waste into their seas continues into its second day, Justice Cannings has given a decision allowing 998 further landowners to join the case as additional plaintiff?s.

This means there are now well over 1,000 landowners from all along the coast of Madang Province and a number of in-shore islands who are seeking to stop the marine dumping of mine waste by the Ramu nickel mine owners, Chinese State enterprise MCC and Australian based Highlands Pacific.
