So even if we assume that the mining companies and their cheer squad in the Murdoch press are right - and some will move offshore - what is actually wrong with leaving our minerals in the ground?
Because the longer we leave them - the more they will be worth. The minerals - not the companies, Virginia.
Eventually, after all the third world countries have been raped and pillaged by these mining companies they will need access to more minerals. Minerals in Australia that they walked away from in 2010.
And if what they say is correct - that there are many better and cheaper opportunities elsewhere then let them go there and deal with the associated risks.
I will personally take up all their abandoned Australian leases. And when they come back in ten years time we will charge them even more for access.
Their position is just pure baloney.
Baloney that is driven by greed and stupidity and which is encouraged by the *numbnuts* in opposition who think they were "born to rule".
