New Environment Law forces Government Minister to Resign
ACTNOW
Mr. Ken Fairweather, a member of the People's National Congress and a senior minister in the Somare-led government, has resigned from the government in protest over the amendments to the Environment Act 2000. The amendments strip away rights of landowners to seek redress from the courts over environmental permits. The amendments were purposely made to defeat the current litigation by landowners, against Deep Sea Tailings Disposal System by a Chinese-Government owned Nickle Mine, MCC in Ramu, Madang Province, Papua New Guinea.
Attached is a full page advert paid for by Mr. Fairweather, stating his position on 2 environmentally destructive projects undertaken by the Somare Government in his electorate.
