Never stopped them before

If it's worth heaps of money, all the national park or historical monument legislation in the world won't matter jack. If they think they can turn a tidy profit from it and it's in the national interest, they'll mine it.

A rare earth mine, I can assure you, would be in the national interest. But it would all depend on how big the blithering idiots in Canberra were.
