The Coalition is developing a specific set of policies for Western Australia, where it lost four seats at the last federal election. They include winding back some of the federal government’s industrial relations laws that mining companies contend are hurting productivity, along with rethinking its initial opposition to the federal government’s proposal to provide production tax credits for extracting and processing critical minerals. The Coalition had dubbed the proposal as "tax cuts for billionaires", but that did not go down well with smaller mining companies who are trying to compete with cheaper Chinese-backed ventures overseas
