History. In four of four such laws since 1982, parliament passed the law. Where the start is known, the last vote came 4, 12 and 16 days after the bill was brought in.
Hunch. By 22 October the bill was not yet in parliament, and both chambers have only six set sitting days before 26 November.
The coal mine law market resolves on the Parliament of New South Wales record of the bill and the Hansard of both chambers: YES if by the end of 26 November 2026, Sydney time, both chambers have passed a bill that lets the Mount Pleasant mine dig more than its current 12.5 million tonnes a year, with or without changes, and any changes made by the upper chamber are agreed by the lower one. It is NO if either chamber has not passed it by then or rejects it, and The Guardian and Reuters settle it if the parliament pages cannot be read.
We looked for cases where a court in Australia or New Zealand cancelled the permit for one named project, and the government then asked parliament for a law to give that permit back. We found four such laws since 1982: in New Zealand, twice in New South Wales and in the Northern Territory. Parliament passed all four.
