"Over 270 people attended the town meeting held on the 13th of December 2005
in
the Strathalbyn Town Hall. Council presented many of the issues to
representatives of Primary Industries and Resources SA, The Environment
Protection Agency, the Department of Water, Land, Biodiversity and
Conservation
and the Department of Health. The proponent was also given the opportunity
to
explain the process and the benefits they believed would be brought to the
town.
A resounding vote of “No Mine” was carried at the end of the meeting."

I'm not sure why you've posted to this newsgroup. I can't imagine a Council
bringing down the entire stockmarket :) Anyway, as I've replied to your post
in another newsgroup...

I've investigated your observations and it turns out that the State
government of South Australia has very strong support for mining in that
State through their PACE program and in fact the Minister being sought out
by the Council, Paul Holloway, is a very keen supporter of that program.
There is no doubt that commonsense will prevail and the Angas mine will
proceed, with benefits flowing not only to the constituents of the local
council, but also to the State as a whole.
