Mystery of a mine inquiry

There was, however, a reason for the change of mind other than a fierce backlash against the inquiry idea from the two mining giants. It is a reason the Government can’t talk about.

I understand several foreign investment applications that would potentially affect a number of mining companies were lodged with the Foreign Investment Review Board during the week and quickly hit Hockey’s desk.

They came out of left field and were seen by the Treasurer and the PM as a game-changer.

The applications, sources say, raise the possibility of significant upheaval in the iron ore industry and ownership of sections of it over the next 12 months.
