    "not good for the rest of the economy"

    About every economist quoted would agree with Bob Brown - the high AUD off the back of the strong mining industry is adversely impacting

    manufacturing
    tourism
    education
    and any other industry that competes with imports

    A higher MRRT would cool down the mining industry and provide additional tax revenue enabling support for impacted industries and individuals via lower tax as originally proposed.

    I own BHP, RIO, WPL, STO and OSH, notwithstanding I support a higher mining tax
