Ex-minister put state's coal industry offside - The Australian



COAL industry players were outraged when former NSW energy minister Ian Macdonald made an "unprecedented" decision to restrict a batch of new mining licences to small-to-medium companies.



Australian Coal Association boss Nikki Williams told the Independent Commission Against Corruption yesterday she wrote to protest against the 2008 decision by Mr Macdonald, but never received a reply. At the time, Dr Williams was chief executive of the NSW Minerals Council.
