FEAR & GREED | Business News · Q+A: Does Australia's mining sector have a PR problem? · 23 Jul 2026 podcast

I think making sure that we use that new way of communicating across the globe but also in Australia and making sure we've got plenty of positive stories.

I mean, this is the highest wage-paying

industry in Australia, $158,000 is the average wage.

I think wages are much higher than that.

If you look at some of the trades, for instance, it's a few hundred thousand dollars.

If you're looking at

an electrical trade, just as an example.

So the highest paying wages, where you have regional towns that have mining very close to them, they tend to be much more wealthy areas.

The standard of living is higher.

The services are very good.

So getting those positive news stories out to people that particularly live in cities like Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne,

I think Perth really understands the enormous contribution that mining makes, but certainly getting that information out to cities and helping them understand the positive stories rather than what an activist that is always going to be negative about the mining industry has to say.

So we need to make sure that we're doing that ourselves and get decision makers like politicians on our side talking up mining instead of talking down big business.

talking up big business that creates plenty of jobs for small business.

That's something that I think is really important.

Everybody understands that taxation is an important thing for any country.

Miners know that taxes are part of doing business in Australia, doing business around the world.

There is no problem with that.

It just is a matter of fairness, risk and reward.

The mining industry is very capital intensive.
