As Minister for Resources and Assisting the Minister for State Development, I want to make sure that resource developments proceed without any delay. At the same time, I am mindful of the fact that we must always consider social and environmental issues. We are doing the study to make sure that we do everything in a planned situation. The expansion of the iron ore industry in the mid-west is astronomical. The industry will continue to expand, and this government will make sure that happens.
