There's more criticism of Santana's contentious gold mining project at Bendigo. Ian Taylor has joined the fray with an open letter to Chris Bishop questioning the necessity of using fast-track legislation on such a risky project. He says:
---
Bendigo is a cyanide-leach gold operation that is:
* producing arsenic-bearing tailings
* stored behind a dam
* located in a seismically active region
* at the headwaters of major water systems.Taken together, these factors do not appear well suited to assessment under the compressed timeframes of the Fast-Track process.

While I don't always agree with Taylor, he's right in this instance. I admire the people who are standing up and trying to stop this project damaging and polluting the Central Otago landscape forever.
Forever.

I almost didn't click on this vomit-inducing headline which reads, "David Seymour, you are my Person of the Year for 2024".
But it's worth a read. Ian Taylor lays into Mister 8% Seymour and his Atlas Network philosophy of selfishness.
