Thieving OZschwitz greens salivating over the new mining tax

THE Greens have vowed to thwart the Gillard government's threat to dock revenue from any state that increases its mining royalties after the new federal mining tax comes into effect, in a bid to protect the right of states such as Western Australia to fund essential services.

The angry response from the Greens came as the West Australian Premier, Colin Barnett, said his state would back a likely constitutional challenge by mining companies against the new federal mining tax laws.

The Greens leader, Bob Brown, blasted Labor for ''caving in'' to the big miners with its mining tax deal, but confirmed his party would reluctantly vote for the watered-down tax on the basis that ''the alternative is the Tony Abbott position of no new tax on the miners at all''.
