Re: China's coal production to peak in a couple of (none / 1)

This has to make the Australians both nervous and excited. This is obviously the coal source of first resort after fields in China give out. That's either big money, or a big enticement for the Chinese to gain control of those Australian fields by any means necessary.

And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg

There doesn't seem to be any need to gain control of the coal fields ... the Ozzies seem to be happy to put it on the market.

The biggest concerns in the Hunter are the capacity of the mine to port logistics, and there's little the Chinese could do to increase that by invading (or whatever).
