Comment on Intergenerational Report 2023: Australian economy built on rent seekers who produce nothing
Nath@aussie.zone 1 year agoGiven that mining (all mining) has always made up less than 10% of Australia’s GDP, how are you coming up with that ‘about a third’ figure?

Ahh that makes a bit more sense, but still even using those figures, coal is 15% of exports and gas 7.7%. Less than a quarter combined, nowhere near a third.
We absolutely need to wean our economy off coal. I believe we can do it well before 2050.
