17/12/2008 - The coal industry is concerned it will not get enough financial assistance out of emissions trading.
Under the federal government's plan released on Monday, coal mining companies will get $750 million to adjust to the scheme.
There is also assistance worth $3.9 billion to coal-fired electricity generators.
Ralph Hillman, executive director of the Australian Coal Association, said on Tuesday the plan was "a step in the right direction" but the coal industry should get more assistance.
