Lynas boss Amanda Lacaze urges Malaysia’s new government to judge the company on facts and not alarmist claims from activist groups.

Lynas Rare Earths has acknowledged it could have to shut down some processing operations under conditions imposed by authorities in Malaysia as it fights a rearguard action to preserve all of its production capacity in the South-East Asian nation.

Lynas is lobbying hard for Malaysia’s government and regulators to lift conditions attached to the company’s operating licence The licence is up for renewal in March and the company faces opposition from elements within Malaysian politics and activist groups concerned about cracking and leaching, which produces a low-level radioactive Water Leach Purification residue.“Our position is very strongly that we run a low-risk operation. We are a lawful company which is compliant with all regulations, and we have never been involved in any sort of health or environmental incident,” Ms Lacaze said.

Lynas said progress on the Kalgoorlie facility in the December quarter included major earthworks for the construction of the evaporation ponds and embankments, as well as progress on lining the plant’s 110-metre long kiln with bricks.

If you want to support the monarchy - don’t emphasise the conflict. this is getting more hilarious by the hour, an lnp mp commenting on the british royal family, is it any wonder the coalition is in such a bad state here More BS from the media. What I see is they are doing very well around the world All they are doing gets to number 1. Stop spreading lair.

Chalmers’ recent economic essay about ‘applying version of his own communism’Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price says Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ proposal to create a values-based economy “isn’t about recreating capitalism”. “This isn’t about recreating capitalism in his own utopian, idealistic view of what he thinks it should be,” Ms Price told Sky News host Amanda Stoker. “This is just about applying a version of his own communism. 'This wasn’t the mandate the Labor Party took to the last election, so I think he’s got a lot of explaining to do.” I agree it’s a neo socialist agenda which will not benefit our country Companies have been doing this for decades. If we didn't just spend nine years in the fifties, this would be unremarkable. Senator Price: “This is just about applying a version of his own communism.' The qualifications of the auspol senator on this subject... are very weak. An ex Deputy Mayor, Country Liberal Party member, Sky News regular. That's it.

‘Back to basics’: NSW Labor and Liberal ‘missing the mark’ on issuesSmall Business Women Australia founder Amanda Rose says the NSW Labor and Liberal parties are “missing the mark” on issues people genuinely care about. She urged both parties to go “back to basics”. “People want someone who is going to help them survive today, this month, they are not so worried about ten years from now,” Ms Rose told Sky News Australia. No doubt the public will vote labour justified by the old adage “we need change” infrastructure will stagnate, public service will be cut and the circle of life continues. We want more tolls and taxes. 'Missing what she thinks is important' Fixed it for you.

There are only ‘two possible reasons’ PM won’t reveal Voice detailsSky News host Amanda Stoker says there can “only be two possible reasons” why Prime Minister Anthony Albanese refuses to reveal what the details of the proposed Indigenous Voice to Parliament would entail. “Either he doesn't know because they haven't done the work – itself a dangerous approach that means he's asking for a blank cheque from Australians,” she said. “Or worse – they know the far-reaching impact it will have, and they don't want you to know.” WTF she’s a Sky News host now? What a step down. Poor diddums. The Voice is a constitutional alteration, the constitution binds us all, and the details of the amendment must be got right. Nothing, however well intentioned, is taken on trust anymore As usual lack of Transparency from a Labor government. Nothing new. We're used to their deception

There is ‘nowhere better’ than AustraliaSky News host Amanda Stoker says Australia has given her “everything” and is “worth the bother”. “It gave the migrants in my family a place to go, a fresh start after growing up in war-torn Europe,” she said. “It gave my sister and I the example of great parents who built a life of substance from humble beginnings. “And it gave this plumber's daughter a first-class education, a top-shelf husband and a family of three precocious girls to go with it.” Ms Stoker said “there is nowhere better” than Australia and that “there is nowhere else to go”. “So let's make damn sure we leave this country better than we found it.” That’s nice to hear 👍 Worth the bother? Nudge nudge know what I Mean nudge nudge, wink, wink. 🤠🏏🇦🇺
