Mentions

The Coal Mining Act of 1925↔Mount Mulligan Coal Mine Disaster, 19 September 1921

This Act source is linked to the existing Mount Mulligan disaster pin as later legal context. The Act was assented 13 November 1925 and commenced 1 January 1926; it did not apply retroactively or create mining law overnight in 1921. The site offers no “regulated” or “applied to” label for Source → Pin, so “Mentions” is the closest available vocabulary.

Mentioned in

Mount Mulligan Royal Commission↔The Coal Mining Act of 1925

Bell’s 1977 thesis supports the historical chain from the Commission’s recommendations through interim colliery General Rules changes (August 1922 and approximately September 1923) to the separate Coal Mining Act of 1925, assented 13 November 1925 and commenced 1 January 1926. “Mentioned in” is the closest available site vocabulary; this is not a claim that the Act was passed in 1921 or solely caused by Mount Mulligan.
