Im listening to the PM addressing the press conference. In regards to mining, and lithium the mineral mentioned, he wants to see more mining companies to value add to their product upstream of mining. The question put to him was'would the government support applications from the Chinese to mine Lithium.' He said basically all applications would be viewed and decisions made on merit yet not risk national security. My instincts tell me with the interference of the Lynas operation in Malaysia the company would surely have huge support from the present government in bringing the LAMP process in way of govetnment assistance. Talk is cheap. Surely the PM means that he would be offering Australian miners financial or logistical support to bring any industry that provides sovereign security back home. Im struggling to see how our sovereignty is different having a foreign entity mining crirical minerals in Australia or a critical mining company partially operating overseas with the same foreign entities risking the production of critical minerals. I now await to hear from our PM how Australian industries, processing or otherwise, how he is going to attract them to return home. If Lynas does ever elect to reduce their risks to foreign interference how Mr PM are you going to help these companies. Talk seems cheap at the moment.
