The royalites increase was to bring them into line with the same royalties that other companies pay as they had a sweetheart deal from the early days of the startup mines. He went to the miners first, negotiated behind closed doors first and got a $350M donation for the childrens hospital. Then announced the deal, rather than the try a typical ambit union claim tactic that blew up in their fucking faces
Looks like Liebor could do with some lessons in govy-business relations and acumen. Seems they don't have any
Maybe Colin Barnett could come over and show Gillard what good governance is all about instead of Gillard taking advice from the looney left

A close relative of mine looked after a couple of major accounts for Morgans. They were considered a bit sub-par in their polling. They have had a few embarassing predictions over the last few years. Newspoll is generally considered the most reliable but it even has a few slipups. There is a margin for error after all. Trends are what to watch.

The Julia Gillard experiment is failing. The Gillard government has received its first political death threat. For the first time since she took the prime ministership 37 days ago, a credible national poll has Labor losing power.
Labor's share of the vote in today's Herald/Nielsen poll is almost as bad as the party's result in the worst poll of Kevin Rudd's prime ministership.
On these numbers, Tony Abbott would be prime minister if an election had been held in the past three days. This is a political emergency for Labor.
When the Herald published a Nielsen poll on June 7 that showed Labor would have lost an election, securing 47 per cent of the vote to the Coalition's 53, it was the catalyst for Labor's Right faction powerbrokers to begin plotting the coup against Rudd.
Now, after everything that has happened, we have a Nielsen poll showing Labor would lose an election with only 48 per cent of the vote to the Coalition's 52. The difference is 1 percentage point, a difference without a distinction.
The voters have listened to Gillard for 36 days since she assassinated Rudd. Initially, they gave her the benefit of the doubt. But the more they have learnt, the more they asked the question - what is the point of Labor?
The answer they are reaching is, nothing much.
