The Resources Minister says Greenpeace activists won't silence him on mining. 

Shane Jones is today attending the Minerals West Coast Forum in Ross. 

Greenpeace has been protesting the Government's planned fast track-approvals.

Jones calls that 'foolish and juvenile'. 

He says he's the 'people's champion' - and protesters represent a small group of elites who think we should save the climate before we save the economy.
