Adept Economics’ Gene Tunny has shared an article on the Queensland Economy Watch website.
He says that ‘despite the Queensland Government promoting the so-called Clean Economy, our state Treasury is still highly dependent on coal royalties, and the prosperity of our regional economies is highly correlated with coal mining. Coal prices remain at high levels and may deliver Treasurer Cameron Dick some additional budget billions if they don’t fall substantially by the end of the financial year.
