AIG is planning a submission to the recently announced Productivity Commission inquiry into non-financial barriers to mineral exploration in Australia.
The terms of reference for the inquiry exclude taxation, royalties and other financial issues, but the inquiry is a good opportunity to put other factors that have a negative impact on Australia’s ability to compete globally for exploration investment on the table, for review by an influential and respected Commonwealth government authority.
To get the ball rolling, please list three issues that you feel are responsible for companies bypassing Australia as a destination for exploration work. Your input will help focus the AIG submission to ensure it represents the interests of members.
Please e-mail your thoughts to aig@aig.org.au
