Federal Treasurer ‘not flash’ on Grylls’ plan to tax mining giants
24/08/2016
Federal Treasurer Scott Morrison has smacked down Brendon Grylls’ plan to increase taxes on mining giants Rio Tinto and BHP.
Grylls, the new leader of the WA Nationals, proposed a tax of $5 per tonne of iron ore on the two mining companies in a bid to repair the state’s finances.
Morrison was fairly blunt in his response when Gary Adshead asked for his thoughts on the proposal.
