Well, yes, action can speak louder than words, but this is one of those occasions when some commentary about the importance of the bauxite industry to Ja's economy, and how it is responding to making good the damage it does to the environment, would have been very helpful!
The raw material required to produce primary aluminium is aluminium oxide, also called alumina. It is a white powder produced by the refining of bauxite. Some two tonnes of alumina are needed to produce one tonne of aluminium through an electrolytic process.
All I could think about watching this was "Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away."😥 I hope environmental mitigation was included in the mining contract, but like most corporations, they will work the mine until they are losing money, then declare bankruptcy, leaving the mess for the people to clean up.🙄
1. Mr Phillips…….Tell us…. how long you have been aware of the bauxite contractual agreement/arrangement between Noranda and the Jamaican government (PNP/JLP?) 2. What was your role in the previous PNP Cabinet when the matter of Noranda and mining the Cockpit Country was under negotiation/discussion? 3. You have now appeared to be joining the ant-mining campaign to preserve the fragile ecosystem of the Cockpit Country, what factors have brought you to this position you have taken……and is your position that of the entire Shadow PNP Cabinet and opposition? 4. What do you hope to achieve as Opposition leader by joining the Cockpit Country Anti-Mining campaign? 5. What impact do you believe the current contract with Noranda will have on the Cockpit Country and Jamaicans in general? 6. What reasons do you believe many Jamaicans do NOT trust you or your fellow political colleagues to be transparent about the Cockpit Country issue?
Apparently my senior mother got paid some pennies…her family owned land there!
The joys of been an uneducated native in foreign.
Big mining business like Noranda rape and pillage, they are good at that

Exactly Rob
I see jobs for many Jamaicans, I hope this is the case... Is the company owned by Jamaica or some foreign country?
They are globalist mining cartels . they never pay tax for resources.
