Queensland budget handed down by Treasurer Cameron Dick, health the big winner with coal royalties increasing
Record coal prices will see mining companies face a hike to royalty rates, as the Queensland government touts major spending for the health system in the state budget.
Handing down his third budget today, Treasurer Cameron Dick also revealed big businesses would be hit with a mental health levy on payroll tax, while funding has been allocated to build new, previously announced, hospitals in Bundaberg, Toowoomba and Coomera.
"Each year, the health budget grows," Mr Dick said.
"But this year, the increase is much more than just the usual."
