Party leader Senator Pauline Hanson said while resources projects had experienced a 60% increase in delays over the past seven years, the Brisbane 2032 stadium project at Victoria Park was obviously being fast-tracked. “Our resources sector wouldn’t mind feeling some of the love the major parties are giving the 2032 Olympic Games,” Senator Hanson said. “Protesters moved on, shut out and arrested by the Queensland LNP government; police protection for workers; and indigenous heritage applications quickly dismissed by the Federal Labor government.
“It’s evident governments can make major developments happen quickly when they choose. “Unfortunately that hasn’t been the experience for our much more important resources sector. Since 2019, average decision times have blown out from 2.3 to 3.8 years.
According to the Minerals Council of Australia, a 12-month delay in the new resources project pipeline is estimated to cost our economy $51 billion – and the bottlenecks are only getting worse. “The Olympic Games will arrive in Brisbane in 2032 and maybe generate $17 billion for the national economy over 20 years. These resources projects obviously generate a much greater benefit for Australia, yet they’re treated rather shabbily compared to the spectacle of the Olympics.
“The major parties need to sort out their priorities. If the Olympics can be fast-tracked and protected then so can these much more important mining developments.” Do you like this page? Share Get the latest from One Nation!
