Lodging objections to permits for mining activities is currently free in Western Australia, but the state government says it needs more resources and funding to meet an increase in challenges.
Is this a case where everyone has good point? $859 is a long jump from free. Whatever the reasoning, this absolutely will shut down reasonsble claims at the same rate as vexatious. All a charge like this does is shut out the less financially elastic in their claims.
