Queensland-based mining personality Clive Palmer has threatened legal action against the Western Australian government should its Parliament pass extraordinary legislation that could prevent the miner from claiming damages related to the Balmoral South iron-ore project.
Western Australia’s Attorney General John Quigley late Tuesday presented legislation to Parliament to amend the Iron Ore Processing Agreement Act that would douse the state government of any liability for not approving the Balmoral South iron-ore project, which is owned by Palmer’s Mineralogy.
