Below are the names and contact emails of key parliamentarians and local representatives. Reach out to them and tell them how you feel about Resources Victoria (formerly Earth Resources Regulation) decision to renew Kalbar’s(Gippsland Critical Mineral) retention licences. Ask them why the government has refused to accept Richard Wynne’s scathing assessment of the Fingerboards proposal. Ask them why they are subjecting our community to further unnecessary trauma. Tell the politicians that changing Kalbar’s name does nothing to change just how inappropriate the Fingerboards mine proposals is. Tell them that all the gloss and marketing hype in the world won’t change the fact that this mine not financially viable, is socially and environmentally destructive, and will destroy our major industry. Remind our politicians that our water, environment and local economy are critical to East Gippsland.
