Anger rises in Australia over Chinese coal freighter
Anger rose in Australia on Tuesday, including some blunt language from Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, over the off-course Chinese coal freighter that beached on the Great Barrier Reef last weekend and threatens to befoul its pristine corals with leaking fuel oil.
Bloomberg reported that Chinese coal stocks led by Datong Coal Industry Co rose in Shanghai trading on a report saying the government may delay the introduction of higher mining taxes on coal and other natural resources.
