No. It is unlikely this will ever happen in Australia with a change of government. Despite their many flaws, the Australian's know how to sell, in fact they rely on it to keep our economy churning. They will not be taking any action to jeopardize our export market.

The DRC are upping the tax for Cobalt and Lithium is next in the firing line. The governments of these African countries are full of gratuitous morons who got elected for all the wrong reasons and are not at all qualified to drive something as complex as an economy. They will destroy their mining industry with their greed and malice, then they will blame the Chinese and other foreigners and accuse them of 'robbing' and taking advantage of the poor African people. Meanwhile a small group of ex government officials skip the country with a plane heavy with gold bullion on a one way trip to Geneva.

We've all seen this song and dance before.
