"In other news, Prime Minister Albanese has initiated legislation in the federal Parliament to overrule NSW's ban of new coal mines based on national security. And donations from coal miners.

Premier Chris Minns also announced record donations from coal miners and has granted an extension to existing coal mines that now covers the entire state of NSW"
