Mineral Council Continues to Fight for Regulation of Port

BY PATRICK ALDERTON 

The NSW Minerals Council says it will push on with its campaign to declare the Port of Newcastle a regulated entity. 

Despite having their appeal against treasurer Josh Frydenberg rejected, the Minerals Council believes the port should be regulated. 

Since April last year, the port has refused at least five Australian Competition and Consumer Commission authorised bargaining processes. 

The NSW Minerals Council says they will continue to pursue all options for regulatory oversight of the port.
