Federal MPs Bob Katter and Michelle Landry, state Queensland MPs Jim Pearce and Julianne Gilbert, CFMEU Queensland District President Stephen Smyth, and Isaac Shire mayor Anne Baker will be attending the meeting.
Queensland’s new Mines Minister Anthony Lynham is already planning to review BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance’s approvals to make its Daunia and Caval Ridge mines operate 100% fly-in, fly-out.
In its election campaign the state Labor Party promised to oppose any new proposals to establish 100% FIFO mines.
“We're reviewing the previous 100% FIFO mines (Daunia and Caval Ridge) and we are also making sure we don't have 100% FIFO for new mines,” Lynham told the ABC.
He said the review would start “as soon as possible”
“People don't want this left up in the air,” he said.
