The Australian government has reached a deal with mining companies over controversial tax plans.
Former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd had announced plans for a 40% tax on miners' profits.
But a compromise agreement negotiated by his successor, Julia Gillard, has now reduced the rate to 30% for coal and iron ore miners.
The deal was struck just a week after Ms Gillard had swept to office and the mining tax had become highly political.
