ate we've got $trillions in the ground . Its called coal, coalseam gas , bauxite etc. its just a matter of putting a fair market price on it; not about putting money in predominantly foreign owners pockets.
And in relation to interstate competitiveness , all it needs is one phone call between the lady premiers of Qld & NSW and Bob's your uncle.
Its even easier than printing money which the Comm Government is busy doing at present.
Qld collected $4.5 billion in royalties CY 2020 so why not make that a lazy $800 mil more to cover he Olympics? The option is that each Qld taxpayer pays $2400 and I'm not throwing my hat in the ing for that lark while Multinationals and the Chinese are making a shitload out of Qld Coal.
