Summary
A new 50-year mining deal for BHP sparks fierce debate, with environmental groups and Indigenous communities slamming the rushed six-day public consultation as inadequate and undemocratic.

The core tension? Balancing massive copper production and economic investment against environmental protection and Indigenous sovereignty.
