Why not go the other way....

Improve international sentiment for Investing in Australia to increase investment activity..

Therefore increasing jobs, growth in the economy and ultimately taxs...

What about offering incentives for training programs to train australian people to carry out the work in these mines... It is well known that there is a skills shortage around all of the main projects...

Here BHP you can either pay extra tax... Or run traineeships and apprenticeships to equal value

The RSPT is one way to take money off the miners... Albeit the end result could have been catastrophic...

I seriously hope we can get a government in power that can make sound investment decisions for the future of Australia...
