The Queensland Resources sector has urged the state government to assist in formulating a plan that would protect the 60 000 resource sector jobs, and the several thousands from businesses supporting the industry.
Queensland Resources Council (QRC) CEO Michael Roche on Wednesday said that he had written to Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk seeking an urgent meeting with the government, after more than 20 000 resources jobs were lost over the past two years as a result of the commodity downturn.
