Well, this is a game changer!

The Old King Coal exporting companies which operate in Australia named by a whistleblower will now be in international crosshairs!

Small wonder that while the Coalition was in charge and cut so much red tape for large corporations and so emasculated corporate regulators that even China banned some imports from Australia and referred us for investigation:

" Federal MP Andrew Wilkie alleges coal exporters using faked reports of 'cleaner coal' and bribes to boost profits "
"... Andrew Wilkie said a coal executive had handed him "thousands of pages" of documents that allegedly revealed coal companies in Australia were using "fraudulent" quality reports for their exports and paying bribes to overseas officials to keep the matter secret.
"This has allowed them to claim, for years, that Australian coal is cleaner than it is, in order to boost profits and prevent rejection of shipments at their destination," Mr Wilkie said in parliament. ..."

The SMH article reporting Andrew Wilkie's exposure of the alleged fraud by Old King Coal companies makes the important point listed below:

" Australia’s ‘cleaner coal’ is a systematic export scam, Wilkie to tell parliament "
"... For years Australian industry leaders and politicians have justified ongoing coal exports as the world grapples with climate change on the grounds that Australian coal displaces the comparatively dirtier competitors’ coal that would produce more greenhouse gas emissions when burnt. ..."

If the documentation stands up to scrutiny and proves to be credible it'll demonstrate just how gullible Coalition MPs have been and could well prove to be a knee to the groin of Australia's fossil fuel sector, the IPA and the MCA.
