Description

Shane Jones is determined to use his voice to attract mining investors to our shores - no matter the next election outcome. 

The Resources Minister and self-proclaimed 'mining champion' is heading to the International Mining and Resources Conference in Sydney, to promote our supply of rare earth minerals. 

Jones told Ryan Bridge regardless of the risk of the opposition taking power, if there is no strong advocate for mining, then we surrender to woke-ism.

He says investors are warming to the fact New Zealand has a voice that is pushing back the tide, and without it, we'd be poorer.
