I bet there will be a fair bit of "compensation" paid to the mining companies by the end of this. Whether it be cash, or preferential treatment in new contracts.

Do you think it's the right thing or the wrong thing to cancel the licences ? Wink

Well that depends on how influential the corruption was on the deal. Was it the cream, or the cake ?
How implicit were the mining companies. ?

I dont know enough about it, but I cant see a mining company which has invested millions and spend millions over the past year or two, not expected some compensation for a government decision against it.

All politicians are libel to be corrupt, both sides of politics. I usually ignore these politically motivated media witch hunts until the ICAC delivers its final findings. Have they ?

Its seems pretty clear their was corruption by the labor government, but is the suspension of contracts without compensation even legal ?

This could be tied up in courts for years, and you know what will happen... Once the media heat dies down, the government will roll over and pay up.
