flag BHP halts Queensland coal investments over uncompetitive royalties, citing profit losses and shifting capital elsewhere.

flag BHP will continue withholding investment in Queensland due to the state’s unchanged coal royalty regime, company chairman Ross McEwan said, calling the tax policy uncompetitive and unprofitable for operations. flag The company has mothballed its Saraji South mine and redirected capital to other regions and countries, citing high royalties and falling coal prices. flag Despite industry lobbying, Queensland Treasurer David Janetzki confirmed the government will not alter the current royalty structure, emphasizing stability and certainty for the sector. flag McEwan warned that discouraging major investors like BHP could harm long-term economic growth.
