BREAKING NEWS: New injunction against Ramu mine waste dumping

The Supreme Court in Papua New Guinea has granted landowners a fresh injunction stopping the Ramu nickel mine from dumping any toxic tailings into the sea.

The injunction was granted this morning, after the court heard that the landowners, led by Louis Medaing and Terry Kunning, have filed an appeal against the decision of the National Court allowing the waste dumping, even though, according to the judge, it will likely cause catastrophic environmental damage and is unconstitutional.

This tells us a decision will be a long drawn out process. MGO DFS will have to nominate onsite disposal.Therefore no uncertainty.
