The mining tax is inevitable if the green vote rises because Bob Brown sees this as a moral victory,and has the second preferences of labor. while I see it as a moral Hazard.
When our government engages in "pattern Bargaining" (ie force a vulnerable sector or business to an agreement, and then take that agreement to others, then we are in serious trouble. Governments are supposed to consult the electorates, via their members who then vote on the legislation in the lower house, and it is scrutinised and approved in the senate. Private negotiation with the 3 big miners is not democratic and is against the Australian constitution. It leaves the states being unfairly treated, with some states benefiting from the tax changes more than others.
The mining council and others need to tell the voters to vote for independents like myself, who have already been opposing this since it was first announced.
I'm standing for the NSW senate, as part of an unendosed group, independent and have directed our preferences to be split evenly 3 ways. Labor,Liberal,Greens.
