‘Un-Australian’: scheme under fire as mine jobs slashed

September 20, 2025 03:30 | News

A mining expert says that a series of coal mine closing and dismissal of work and the “non -Australian” copyright plan may not be the last.

Anglo American, BHP Mitsubishi Alliance and QCoal mines, and recently undermined more than 1000 workers in Queensland.

And it could be more, the mining analyst Gavin Wendt told AAP.

“In consecutive days, three miners came out and made the same decision, and all these companies complained about the march on the copyright,” he said.

“There is a consistency there, so the government needs to look at itself well and harshly.”

BHP Mitsubishi Alliance accused the government’s “sustainable” copyright regime and 750 business deductions under market conditions and claimed that the state coal industry has reached the “crisis point ..

The alliance was called by the Queensland government after announcing their dismissal, and a union that accuses mining giant of fear of fear.

Mr. Wendt said that the government was an unfair statement and that the company was not wrong.

“To double the copyright in a mining company, not really Australia, but its operations cannot be sustained,” he said.

“The crime finger should really be pointed out to the Queensland government, because their actions are not Australia.”

Adam Lancey from BHP Mitsubishi Alliance said that his company paid about eight times more royalties than he had obtained under the regime this week.

In 2022, the former workers’ government introduced a layered copyright system.

Under its progressive structure, higher income is obtained during the explosion periods of high coal prices, but when market conditions deteriorate, it is less taken.

Queensland’s LNP government refused to change the copyright plan by maintaining its 2024 state election promise.

With its mining companies, he insists “not in war ve, he says that he has made new investments, cuts the bureaucracy and creates long -term business opportunities in regional Queensland.

The lobby group Queensland Resources Council offered to work with the government to make a reform of the “defective coal copyright regime” reform after the last layoffs announced by QCOAL.

QCOAL confirmed its flooring on Friday and announced that one of the two underground sites in the center of Queensland will close in the coming weeks.

“Work loss is a difficult decision for any business, and it is sad for companies to be forced into this position, Janette said Janette Hewson, General Manager of the Council.

“This once again shows that with low prices and rising production costs, the world’s highest royalties affect the applicability of Queensland operations.”

Hewson said that some companies have paid billions of dollars of copyright to the Queensland government, despite the fact that some companies did not make any profits or even broken.

Premier David Crisafulli will have a meeting with the welding sector next week.

However, it is believed that it was organized weeks ago, not in response to criticism or dismissal of the copyright plan.
