Queensland's Deputy Premier Jackie Trad says those in the coal industry should look to 're-skill' for future jobs amid a global coal backlash. Ms Trad told state parliament on Tuesday that it was time to help thermal coal-dependent communities move away from the industry amid a decline in demand.
The Courier Mail's National Political Editor Renee Viellaris told Sky News that 'there isn't these swathe of jobs opportunities in Central Queensland' for workers to turn to should they look to 're-skill'. Ms Viellaris added that Ms Trad was sending 'half a message' and the Labor Treasurer needed to clarify the areas she expected workers to develop new skills in.

If Ian Macfarlane and the LNP (the party not the taxpayer) wants to foot the bill if his prediction is wrong then by all means. In reality its likely that continued advances in technology will make thermal coal increasingly unattractive.
These idiots don't get it. Soon the worldwide population will demand the closure of coal mines. Get on the right side of history, support and retrain your work force or just keep sticking your head in the sand. Like it or not the world is changing.
Tradjic is as big a fruit cake as the other one who appears to be hiding from someone.
