The Minns government in New South Wales has introduced a bill to allow a coalmine to increase its production by 32%. This move is being criticised as 'legislative overreach' because it bypasses a recent high court ruling. The bill aims to authorise MACH Energy to increase the annual coal output at its Mount Pleasant coalmine by 4 million tonnes to 16.5 million tonnes per year until 2032.
