Communications Alliance CEO John Stanton says the Copyright Amendment (Online Infringement) Bill should be carefully worded to ensure that websites that are not breaching copyright are not inadvertently blocked. He has also expressed concern that the bill does not state that the cost of blocking infringing sites will be met by rights holders rather than ISPs. Submissions to a Senate committee that is examining the bill are due in mid-April 2015

Australian-listed Fortescue Metals Group has ruled out increasing its iron ore output while current market conditions prevail. The group’s annual production is around 165 million tonnes, but it has the capacity to lift this to 180-200 million tonnes without the need for additional capital investment. Rival iron ore miners BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto are ramping up production despite the sharp fall in the iron ore price

The price of iron ore fell to its lowest level in a decade during the week ended 10 April 2015, and Bert Koth of Denham Capital expects it to fall further. He warns that a number of smaller mining companies in Australia and worldwide are likely to collapse in coming years, due to factors such as falling commodity prices and high levels of debt. Koth does not expect an upturn in the small-cap mining sector for another 5-6 years

The price of iron ore is currently trading at around $US47 per tonne, compared with a forecast of $US60 in the Australian Government’s Budget update in December 2014. The sharp fall in the iron ore price could reduce government revenue by around $A6.25bn a year, as the May 2015 Budget forecast will take into account the possibility that the price could fall to $US35 a tonne. Treasurer Joe Hockey says it is too soon to suggest a timeframe for returning the Budget to surplus
