New South Wales Premier Chris Minns has announced special legislation to allow Indonesian-owned MACH Energy to maintain current production levels at its Mount Pleasant coal mine near Muswellbrook, after the High Court ruled the mine's expansion approval invalid on climate change grounds. The government says the move protects 400 jobs while the company resubmits its application, but critics argue it undermines the state's climate targets.
