“We’ve taken the position that we want to talk about our company – we’re very proud of our business and particularly our coal business,” she said. “Our coal business in the Hunter Valley … last week we released an Economic Contribution Report and that demonstrated that Glencore in Australia contributed $14 billion.”

Alternate title for this article: “We want to talk. Sky News defends Fossil Fuels and Old Farts.”

Coal is a non-renewable resource, is irreplaceable as it takes millions of years to create. Aust permits mining though it needs to be properly compensated for any loss of such a resource.

Prefer Glencore pay Aust the correct amount for the minerals it extracts, irreplaceable minerals. Chatting is something which isn't a sufficient nor a correct amount of pay for such irreplaceable minerals.

As long as we don't tax them further she'll be happy
