In business, a Chinese state-owned company plans to take over one of the few remaining independent coal miners in Australia. Chinese coal giant Yanzhou will merge1 with Gloucester Coal, which has mines in Queensland and New South Wales, in a $2 billion deal. The new company will be listed on the Australian share market if regulatory approval is granted.
The US President Barack Obama has welcomed an agreement reached by political leaders in Congress to extend an existing reduction in income tax for a further two months. He says the deal is good for 160 million American workers. Many Republicans have backed the plan, but conservatives say it's an
inefficient2 way to
stimulate3 the economy.
And the Federal
treasurer4 has approved the takeover of regional pay TV operator Austar by Foxtel under foreign investment laws. The $2.5 million deal still needs to be approved by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
