Not surprising, given that our economy is effectively backed by China. Of course, that means the probability of us getting out of coal is not very high in the short-term (mining is still a huge employer here, and we export >50% of our coal to East Asia).

And I don't think that Australia has a strong edge on the iridium market (it's already super-rare) or the silicon market (we already have problems with beach erosion, so mining silicon = very bad for condos in Sydney).
