Sunday, 31 July 2016 - 11:00am to 11:30am

There are more than 50,000 abandoned mines in Australia, and around 75 per cent of mines close unexpectedly or without proper site rehabilitation plans.   

The Australian Conservation Foundation and the Mineral Policy Institute have released a report highlighting what they characterise as “systemic and structural failures in the regulation of mine closure and rehabilitation.”   

Bali is a top tourist destination for many Australian and other tourists. And this mass tourism has caused many environmental impacts. But one particular development has got locals up in arms.
