NSW Minerals Council

NSW Minerals Council

The NSW Minerals Council is a lobbying body created by the large mining companies operating in New South Wales. Its main purpose is to forward the economic interests of those companies and related industries by lobbying politicians and the public. The NSWMC claims tax exemption status,[1] although no reason is given for this.

Campaigns

The Minerals Council, headed by CEO Nikki Williams, has run a number of campaigns recently highlighting the social and economic benefits conveyed on the Hunter Valley by the mining industry, especially the coal mining industry, in the face of sometimes biased environmental campaigning. These include the frog ads found in a number of newspapers in NSW, and the current campaign entitled "Life. Brought to you by Mining".[2]

The "Life..." campaign is also supported by Centennial Coal and the Mining arm of the CFMEU[3]
