Dead issues? They just don't want to draw attention to their failed policy making, imagine how people would be furious how they kill an industry, spent millions in defending their position then submit to surrender and give ETM a license.

Surely they will blame it on ETM as the big bad corporate, rather than referring to their own incompetence, that's what politicians do.

Let me asks you GBb, when you need medical attention do you go to a professional medical staff to seek treatment or go to a public square to get people to vote for someone to treat you? You obviously chose the random person elected by the masses, because they look good or know how to talk, but doesn't know how to treat you medically. You will be paying that person to fumble and kill you slowly, that's what it's like when you put your faith in some one like Naaja, who studied psychology, ran a prison system, to then to be considered knowledgeable about mining and uranium. That Naaja who thinks her kids are too good for the local education system, you really do expect her to care about the locals.
