A scarcity of information about disused mine sites is leaving the public in the dark on the clean-up costs from New South Wales mining boom, a new report has found.
The report, released by the Australia Institute on Wednesday, attempted to analyse what was happening to operating, suspended, closed, rehabilitated, or abandoned mine sites across the state.
the nsw auditor general examined the risk posed by disused mine sites in 2011.
The auditor-generals final report warned that the governments derelict mine program may represent the largest category of contamination liability for the New South Wales government.
Despite this, the Australia Institute said the NSWs division of resources and energy was only able to show one example of a mine site being successfully rehabilitated, and one site that was potentially in the final stages of closure.
The reports author, Roderick Campbell, said the paucity of information had shocked him.
He warned that, as the mining boom wound down, big players such as Rio Tinto, which tended to be relatively transparent and responsible, were leaving mine sites in the hands of less reputable, smaller operators, who may be unable to successfully rehabilitate the sites.
Thats the risk and, in the case of NSW, what the department says is that theyve assessed the rehabilitation costs and theyve got a bond for 100% of that amount, so theyre saying taxpayers are at zero per cent chance of paying, Campbell said.
But the problem is, what if theyre wrong, or what if community standards change? What if the Hunter decides actually we dont want 45 large, very saline holes in the ground now?
We really are on the hook for some pretty big liabilities.
The institutes report, titled Dark Side of the Boom, identified between 112 and 410 abandoned mine sites across the state, while between 85 and 109 mines remained active and 123 in suspended operations.
There was no example of an open-cut mine being successfully rehabilitated, the report said, despite the likelihood of at least 45 open-cut voids across NSW.
Campbell said the lack of any concrete example of open-cut rehabilitation cast doubt on the effectiveness of future clean-ups.
I mean it sends a terrible message, because what the industry says is, Well, none of our big open-cut mines are ready to close, so theres no example of it happening because weve just kept expanding and expanding them, he said.
But I dont think you can simultaneously claim that weve got this excellent record of rehabilitation, when theyve actually never done before what they say theyre going to do 45 times.
The report was largely compiled through correspondence with the NSW division of resources and energy over six months. It is one of a series of reports focussing on disused mine sites in various states and territories.
A national report, released to the ABC, suggested there were 60,000 abandoned mine sites across the country.
Campbell said the department had largely been well-meaning and that he did not suspect there was an active campaign not to release such data.
But he said he did not believe there was any incentive for government or industry to make such information public.
ADRIAN GRANADOS" TRAINER GIVES ADRIEN BRONER CREDIT FOR "CLASSIC" FIGHT; EAGER FOR REMATCH & TRILOGY
This Saturday night live on Showtime from the Cintas Center in Cincinnati is a welterweight fight between hometown favorite Adrien Broner (32-2, 24 KOs) and Adrian Granados (18-4-2, 12 KOs). This bout was originally scheduled for a catch weight of 142 pounds, but broner was having trouble making weight and his team negotiated the new 147-pound limit. This is an important bout for both fighters but maybe more so for Broner, as a loss could relegate him to gatekeeper status and a win by Granados could propel him to a future big payday and showdown with one of the welterweight champions.

Disney"s Animal Kingdom 2016 Tour and Overview | Walt Disney World Tour Video
Walt Disney World has been gearing up for the grand opening of Rivers of Light, the first nighttime spectacular at Animal Kingdom. But this past weekend, theme park guests were able to see the full production for the first time as part of soft opening presentations.
What they saw on the Light side: floating lotus blossoms that morph into colorful, prancing fountains, oversized animal sculptures that could well be from a species of Tiffany lamps and gigantic water curtains featuring splashy wildlife projections.
What audiences didnt experience: a complicated story, animated characters or bombastic pyrotechnics common with Disney World finales.
As a kiss goodnight, Rivers of Light could be considered a peck on the cheek. Thanks for coming by; now, off to your cars, folks. See you real soon.
Sunday nights show, for invited guests and visitors who secured FastPass+ reservations, appeared to be smooth sailing. It began with the floating flowers that change colors with the music and eventually blossom to reveal fountains that shoot water streams in various forms and all directions. In the final moments of Rivers, the largest lotus sprouts a blazing tower, probably the most memorable segment of the show.
The floating fountains arent as sexy an effect as, say, 300 drones in the sky, but that doesnt mean they arent complicated. The units are in near-constant motion while traveling on the theme parks Discovery River, simultaneously spinning and spewing.
In the beginning, dramatic lighting on distant trees frames shadowy figures of animals. (Audience members also can hear them, allowing minds to wander to the real residents of Disneys Animal Kingdom.) Later, barges carrying boxy, internally lit animal figures drift into the picture. The one with two elephants brings to mind Stella, the calf recently birthed at the theme park.
Wildlife also take the spotlight on large, arched water screens, sometimes running across multiple sprays. Down on the waters surface, there are animals baby bears, assorted birds virtually splashing, thanks to technology tucked into the floating lotuses.
The show also has live humans on its watery stage, although they can get lost among the oversized imagery. A boat floats by with a drummer, but a silhouette on its sail commands attention.
All of this is set to an enjoyable, if evenly paced, soundtrack. The vibe is similar to the middle section of IllumiNations, the long-running nighttime show at Epcot.
Its been a long journey for Rivers of Light, which was announced in October 2013 as part of a push to add after-dark entertainment at Animal Kingdom. In March 2016, a debut date of April 22 was announced.On April 19, media members were shown a portion of Rivers of Light, but also were told that a limited-run show named Jungle Book: Alive With Magic would be the first production to appear in the new 5,000-seat amphitheater.
But Rivers, set to have its official debut Friday, should help to entertain the masses expected to check out Pandora, the Avatar-inspired landscheduled to open at animal kingdom on May 27.
Julie Andrews and Channing Tatum compare nude scenes - The Graham Norton Show: Episode 8 - BBC One
Julie Andrews made her grand return to the Ed Sullivan Theater for The Late Show Friday night, having appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1961 to perform a song from My Fair Lady. The beloved actress recalled her time auditioning for the role with Stephen Colbert, and an amazing true story about what Richard Rodgersof Rodgers and Hammerstein told her.
After auditioning for her now iconic role in My Fair Lady withlyricist Alan J. Lerner, she went over to audition in front ofRodgers for the musical Pipe Dream. I gave an audition in a very empty theater and belted out my little aria as hard as I could, Andrews said, and I knew that somewhere out there Mr. Rodgers was sitting all alone or maybe with somebody and he came up on stage after. Id never met him, and he said to me,That was absolutely adequate."
Notinghe was just teasing, Andrewsrecalled being asked if she was auditioning for anyone else. When she mentioned the role in My Fair Lady, Rodgers generously responded, I tell you what, if they ask you to do the show, I think you should take that one. If they dont ask you, come back and see me because Id very much like to use you.
watch andrews tell the story in the clip above.
Elsewhere, Andrews previewed her Netflix childrens show Julies Greenroom, reminisced about herstunts filmingMary Poppins, and challenged Colbert to perform vocal exercises through a mouthful of grapes.
Without chewing them, Colbert had to recite as clearly as possible,With blackest moss, the flower pots were thickly crusted, one and all.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) A Texas judge says a lawsuit against the widower of slain Tejano star Selena can proceed as her father seeks to block a TV series about her.
Lawyers for Perez wanted the lawsuit dismissed based on free speech grounds. They had no immediate comment on Fridays ruling.
