Investigation finds mining company did not clear land illegally

The federal government found that mining company Magnetic South did not breach national environmental laws when clearing 200 hectares near Dingo, Queensland last year. The clearance was permitted under a 2010 approval decision that remained valid despite multiple ownership changes. Environmental groups criticized the outcome, saying the decision undermines protections for threatened species like the bridled nail-tail wallaby.
