    Amazing, I’ve been saying this for years, start retraining, trade programs for those guys and they wont demolish the parliment when you start closing down the ridiculous mines. We import coal from China for crying out loud, nobody can afford our coal, and it’s not even sold at a profit. I’d say about time, but 10-15 years too late is also appropriate.

    I seem to remember a famous politician here in the US suggesting the same thing about 8 years ago.
