Gold miners and exploration companies have welcomed a move by the Western Australian Liberals to block a controversial hike in the state's gold royalty they say would have threatened thousands of jobs and damaged a key engine room of the state's economy.
The WA Liberal Party announced on Tuesday it would oppose the royalty hike, a taxation change unveiled in the WA state budget just five weeks ago.
