Epstein files reveal Peter Mandelson supported campaign to undermine then-Australian PM Kevin Rudd's mining super profits tax

A former UK Labour minister supported a campaign to undermine the Rudd Labor government's proposed mining super profits tax in Australia, a document published in the latest tranche of the Epstein files reveals. Lord Peter Mandelson, once one of British Labour's most powerful figures, was sacked last year as the UK's ambassador to the US over his links with the disgraced financier, rapist and human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. This week, Mandelson resigned from the Labour party altogether as further revelations in documents released by the US Department of Justice show the pair's close links, even after Epstein was convicted of child sex offences.
