This clue could be a double definition.

'noted' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'objected' is the second definition.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for minded that I've seen before include "Looked after" , "Determined; objected to" , "See 1 Across" , "Cared" , "Took care of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
