Mediated talks aimed at settling the long-running coal miners’ dispute will begin at 10.30am today.

“This dispute has been dragging on for more than three months, and it’s time it was sorted out,” he said.

“There is no reason why, with goodwill and sensible heads on both sides, this dispute cannot be settled this weekend.”
