The Mineral Policy Institute is an Australian-based non-governmental organisation that specialises in preventing environmentally and socially destructive mining, minerals and energy projects in Australia, Asia and the Pacific.[1] The institute as formed in 1995 in response to the internationalisation of Australia's mineral industry and requests for assistance from overseas.[2] The Institute works with other organisations, including Greenpeace to protest violations of the Basel Convention related to illegal dumping.[3] Someone called "Tesha Beaumont" has been quoted by Australia's ABC as being a representative of the Mineral Policy Institute, it is not known whether this "Tesha Beaumont" is the same one who appeared on an ABC radio interview as a "legal observer" for the highly controversial WRC Rally Australia Tweed when she implied that protesters had been about to disrupt the Repco Rally.
