Granted it would have been nice to have a mining tax in collecting money for Australian social expenses. However if they would introduce such a tax now then it might encourage new mining developments and let them be sped through the environmental checks faster than they are now. So there is a danger we would have many more Adani like mines popped up. Though yet again maybe having a high enough mining tax would possible discourage such endeavours?
