Thanks for that Has, As you say only fools would or could fail to see the blindly obvious.

Even so, coal is not dead, just tasked with fueling the nations transport options as extracted with flameless heat, CNG. And industrial gas. With the byproducts being hot top road pavement and residual carbon, which we need for highly profitable manmade graphene.

So no mines closed and coal-fired power station sites retasked as alternative transport fuel process plants etc?

Which should mean rather than costing us our thermal coal industry, we reinvent it to create even more jobs and save a packet on fully imported fuel. It's too easy!

Turnbull has only a 30% chance of surviving a Leadership Ballot held

today or tomorrow.

Why is Mathias Cormann called a 'king maker'.
I must have missed that ceremony.
