Queensland Resources Council Chief Executive Ian Macfarlane said the resources sector contributed almost $60 billion - or 80% - of the result.

Queensland Resources Council Chief Executive Ian Macfarlane said it was unsurprising that coal exports were higher this year compared to 2017 due to stronger global demand and the impact of Tropical Cyclone Debbie that crossed the coast in March last year.
