Australian mining firm Frontier Resources says the Federal Government has behaved like a bully during a meeting about a proposed mining site along the Kokoda Track.

The meeting brought two parties with vested interests in the track face to face - the Australian miner who wants to dig up the track for gold and copper, and the Federal Government which wants to protect the track at all costs.

Mining will force a diversion for a couple of kilometres along the track.

That has upset many in Australia, including the Government which wants the iconic World War II path world heritage-listed.

Peter McNeil from Frontier Resources says that plan will not only hurt his company.

"It also covers logging, agriculture, it could even come down what the landowners can actually do on their own land," he said.

The PNG Government will soon decide whether it will extend Frontiers' exploration licence.
