- Description
In the first of two frames Prime Minister John Key points to an image of Australia's Mount Isa Mine and comments that 'vast wealth lies behind Australia's higher standard of living..' In the second frame he looks at an image of the 'Mount Cook Mine' and says that 'If we're bold enough there's no reason why we can't catch up' Refers to the fact that Mount Isa in Queensland mines for copper, lead, silver and zinc and is one of the largest producers of both lead and silver, in the Western world. The New Zealand government is exploring the idea of mining in some of our national Parks which is causing great concern among conservationists. There is as yet no 'Mount Cook Mine'.
