1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,079
Speaker 1: Let's go now to mining, because the Prime Minister mentioned

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: that in his address yesterday too shared the importance of

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,159
Speaker 1: minerals in New Zealand and our bid for growth, this

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: drive for growth, and it's an endorsement that Luxon says

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: that won't be to everyone's liking. Shane Jones is the

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: Resources minister. Minister.

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: Good morning, Yeah, greedings fus.

8
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: We just heard there from Marcus about the oil and

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: gas band. You guys were in government when that happened,

10
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 1: won't you.

11
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: Worst decision I was ever associated with was sprung on

12
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: us by Sinda Adern. Fortunately it's in the dim pass

13
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 2: and I can guarantee if it is covered up in

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: her unwanted new book, I'll be the first to criticize it.

15
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: If it's not factual, no doubt you'll be doing a

16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: deep dive on that. Let's talk about the opportunities for mining.

17
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: We were now about the fast track. We've got the

18
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: list of fast tracks. I've been looking this morning at

19
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: your list of minerals, your critical minerals. Are you going

20
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: to announce this year new areas that you'll open up

21
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: for mining?

22
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: Thirty fist of January, orbit Yhi, Where I'm making a

23
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: major speech related to the mining industry and related economic matters.

24
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 2: I'll remind everyone there's an additional two point five billion

25
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 2: dollars worth of export revenue, probably another two thy five

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,919
Speaker 2: hundred jobs just on the projects associated with the fast

27
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: track alone. But we're going to do a big dive

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: and say to Kiwis, we have an inordinately large dock estate,

29
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: much of which is overrun with weasels and rats and

30
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: stoakes and noxious weeds. Much of that dock estate is

31
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 2: suitable for quirying and mining, and we need to get

32
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: over ourselves because if we want the surplus income and

33
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: the revenue, we should identify which areas are really precious

34
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: to the birthright of Kiwis and which areas can be

35
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: used for economic purposes, including mining.

36
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: Are you talking about stewardshipland that land that's on the

37
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: conservation estate but hasn't yet been categorized.

38
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: Stuardship land is not dockland. Stewardship land is land that

39
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: should and will be made available for economic purposes. Sadly,

40
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: it's been weaponized and captured by these green fusspots who

41
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: could testrifize every utann, every example of mining.

42
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: Just so weirdly, so, you're talking about opening up stewardship land,

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: which is nine percent of our land area, to mining,

44
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: as well as dockland as well as conservation estate.

45
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: Stewardship dockland is already used in some cases for mining.

46
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 2: That's already effect. Studship land can be made available not

47
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: only for mining but for other economic purposes. But a

48
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: lot of the fast track proposals are not on dockland.

49
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: For example, there's Santana project is on private land on

50
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: the Bendigo station. These are all projects that will generate

51
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: not only jobs, but highly sought after economic revenue. You look,

52
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: the day before yesterday, I was with seven or eight

53
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: international analysts coming out of London Toronto and they said

54
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: to me, and they've been down here to sign off

55
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: a major transaction and extension of capital for existing projects.

56
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: They said to me, if the fast track is implemented

57
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 2: in the vein that the legislation was passed, you will

58
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: drown an avalanche of North American capital. There is no

59
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 2: other regime that they know of in either the states

60
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: of the States of Australia or the States of the

61
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: US that will have the capacity to allocate with this

62
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: efficiency statued reconsense.

63
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: All right, minister, thanks for your time. This morning was

64
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: ALSOS Minister Shane Jones saying it's all on for young

65
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: and old thirty first of January. He'll be making announcement

66
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: in May. He and it sounds like dock land, stewardship land,

67
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter what it's called, it's all.

68
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: Up for grand. For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast,
