    Why is "our" Gov'ment negotiating with miners with respect to a tax it has decided to impose?
    Did they have discussions with the tobacco industry prior to raising taxes?
    In previous years, the Govt. of the day has implemented taxes as seen fit; end of story.
    What is different this time?
    Fred.
