- Reason: The country is suffering great angst about coal. Is it good, is it bad, should we mine it or should we leave it in the ground. One of the biggest problems facing this country is the amount of government money, aka tax dollars, flowing to the coal mining companies in the forms of subsidies, interest free loans, grants etc. Subsidies to the coal industry are made by the federal government and state governments but with the likes of COAG a coordinated approach could be made to free the coal industry to allow it to operate with no governmental financial constraints. Some authorities put the amount of money given to the coal industries as being in the vicinity of twenty nine billion dollars. Stopping those subsidies to the coal industry would allow the industry to operate in a free market which I believe is one of the basic ideological tenets of our government. The money saved would be ideal for expenditure in our regions or in financing the ABC properly.
- Request: We therefore ask the House to coordinate with the states stopping all subsidies, loans and grants to coal companies to allow them to operate in a free market.
