Personally i think the outcome of the coming state election will have little if any influence on whether Mt Mulligan officially becomes a National Park. The traditional owners of this land have been promised by successive QLD governments since 1991 that Mt Mulligan would become a National Park jointly run by the Traditional owners and the Qld National Parks Service! This is old news and has been on the agenda for decades! Once the ILUA is signed with the traditional owners the mining can go ahead with their consent IMO.....

Mount Mulligan Coal Mining
By 1921 the Hodgkinson gold fields had declined and a coal mine at Mount Mulligan had burrowed its way into the side of Ngarrabullgan, much to the fear of the Djungan Aboriginal peoples. On 19 September 1921 there was a huge explosion killing 75 people in what turned out to be Queensland's worst mining disaster (see also Mount Mulligan mine disaster). To the Djungan people this was retribution for disturbing the sacred mountain in which dwelt a 'white horse' and the spirit Eekoo.[7]
By 1990 the coal mine had long been closed (since 1957); the mining towns had all broken down and been deserted; and the cattle-properties were profitless, run down with rubber-vine, feral pigs and brumbies. Ngarrabullgan, however, still stood to become the focus of a Djungan Aboriginal people's 'cultural renaissance'.

1991
Kuku Djungan people gather 27 July 1991
27 July: over 150 Djungan people had travelled from Cairns, Yarrabah, Innisfail, Townsville, Chillagoe and Mareeba, to re-unite and form the Kuku Djungan Aboriginal Corporation; to raise the pan-Australian Aboriginal flag; and to resolve to regain ownership of Ngarrabullgan.[7]
August: the Australian Government (i.e. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission) approved the purchase of Kondoparinga property, and Ngarrabullgan, for the Djungan people.[7]
December: Kondoparinga had been purchased, and the Djungan peoples had regained ownership of Ngarrabullgan. Queensland Government's Department

Kuku Djungan raise flag and resolve to regain ownership of Ngarrabullgan
of Environment had sought to excise Ngarrabullgan from the property at the time of purchase, but, at the last moment, a binding agreement was negotiated and agreed to see Ngrrabullgan remain part of the property and later declared a National Park to be managed by a majority Djungan board of management[7]

2007
November: the Djungan people:
have ownership of the mountain and developed management plans for its future protection and management;[7]
have registered the mountain with the Australian Heritage Commission to form part of Australia's 'National Estate'[5]
have nominated the mountain to be declared an Indigenous Protected Area under the Australian Government's protected area program[9]
have seen the mountain declared a 'Aboriginal cultural heritage area' under Queensland legislation.[10]
are still seeking to see Ngarrabullgin declared a National Park with a majority Djungan board of management, as agreed back in December 1991.

Not an issue as far as i'm concerned.
