Quote:

'How is this allowed to happen?' Chinese company is given the green light to run a water mining operation in drought-ravaged Queensland - while desperate residents are forced to take 90-second showers

Chinese company granted go-ahead to run commercial water extraction facility

Decision comes despite nearby residents suffering through severe drought

Those in Stanthorpe about 40km away just weeks from running out of water

Residents living near the site in southern Queensland have hit out at decision

Those in Stanthorpe and nearby Warwick limited to just 80 litres of water daily

To add further insult:

Quote:

The company plan to transport the water to a Gold Coast bottling plant, according to council documents.

Who signed this deal?

According to the website:

https://www.business.qld.gov.au/industries/mining-energy-water/water/bores-and-g...

I'm assuming it would've been with the Queensland Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy.
