Nope: as I have said before, that is the beauty of what they have done. They are fast tracking a new industry Lithium.
The legislative instrument is a sub set (rules), that a ministerial department has power over, can change and are changing. No vote required.
The bill references the latest LI thatβs it.
The bill however impacts other miners lease durations,exploration rights, renewals, community funding etc. wider impact.
The ewooya ratification needed the legislation royalties changed (rules) to be compliant. It just so happens that it is also compliant with the new bill (e.g. duration of lease, renewals etc.)
