'musings from aotearoa' hits the nail on the head

Nice post from Robb regarding the misnomer and disinformation term 'surgical mining'.

Excerpt
"If Key, Brownlee and National consider placing entire towns in peril from landslides and erosion caused floods due to gold mining hills in the Coromandel as acceptable collateral damage, then it should be of no surprise they also refuse to rule out the use of "other" types of "modern method" mining techniques."
and
"If our system has depleted itself, and the "time" has come to rip into the few wild and relatively pristine areas still left, perhaps we are really asking the wrong questions. These people are up to no good and must be confronted and stopped."
Thanks Robb
