A) Abundence of money? Who cares if ther abundence of printed money only buys you the same as if you had a dollar 20 years ago.
B) Mining Tax....Well here is how it is going to affect everyone. If I was Chinese I would be sourcing my raw minerals from somewhere a little cheaper than doing business in Australia. AKA Africa, South America. And if I was BHP I would be sourcing these minerals now. Pull the plug on the mining boom in an instant, and kapow no more money for the government and no more money for the welfare league.
