 Article Headline: Mining tax pushes Australian miners back into crisis – Fortescue
 Abstract: Iron-ore miners Fortescue Metals and Atlas Iron on Wednesday added their voices to the growing number of companies urging voters to consider the economic implications of the proposed mining tax when voting on Saturday. Fortescue CEO Andrew Forrest, who is a vocal critic of the minerals resources rent tax (MRRT), said at a press conference in Perth that the MRRT had pushed the Australian mining industry into a similar situation as the global financial crisis, and threatened to diversify his investments away from local projects.
