Parliament has removed any obligation on the Government to promote the mining industry. It says this will help its programme on climate change.    But the mining industry thinks this action is a misguided attack on an industry that can actually help in the fight against climate change.  The law in question is the Crown Minerals Act 1991 (CMA), which was amended in 2013 to require the Government to promote the industry in international forums and elsewhere.  It has now been changed under urgency to give the Government "flexibility", according to the Minister of Energy and Resources, Megan Woods.
