Mining is one of Australia's biggest industries, yet it often finds itself on the defensive.Sean Aylmer speaks with Tania Constable, Chief Executive Officer of the Minerals Council of Australia, about why mining has an image problem, whether the industry is taxed fairly, the growing importance of critical minerals, and why Australia risks losing investment if it becomes less competitive. They also discuss uranium exports to India, industrial relations and what the mining industry could look like over the next two decades.Find out more: https://fearandgreed.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Government's celebrating strong momentum in the minerals sector. A one-year review of the Government's Minerals Strategy shows exports have climbed from $1.46 billion in 2023 to about $2.5 billion this year. Gold production and employment have also grown, with more than $30 million in royalties expected this financial year. Minerals Council Chief Executive Josie Vidal told Mike Hosking they're optimistic, but there are still hurdles. She says any production industry struggles with red tape, so it's good to see this strategy try to get the mining industry up and running.

The latest New Zealand First policy will see 50% of the royalties from mines returned to the region where the mine's located. Under the policy, the role of government agencies would also be limited. Minerals Council Chief Executive Josie Vidal told Mike Hosking that it's great to be recognised as the industry that keeps New Zealand going. She says the world is finding out you can't live on rainbows alone - and fossil fuels are needed. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Grant McDowell is in London and Tim Buckley is in Sydney recording the Spark Club Podcast on the 23rd March 2026 Highlights – Draft AER Default Market Offer Brilliant to see the Australian Energy Regulator has today flagged draft default market offer (DMO) electricity pricing down ⬇️ 1% to ⏬ 10% for residential consumers, and between ⬇️ 8% to ⏬ 21% for small business consumers The DMO sets an efficiently priced safety-net for households and small businesses on standing offer electricity plans and acts as a reference price to help consumers compare market offers. This is the draft ruling, with the final ruling released May 2026 for effect for the 12 months starting 1 July 2026. This is consistent with Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO)'s quarterly energy dynamics highlighting Australia hit a record high 51% RenewableEnergy share in the 4QCY2025, and wholesale electricity prices fell by >40% yoy as a result. Highlights – PRRT reform - Petroleum Resource Rent Tax - Dodge The ACTU this week is calling for a flat 25% tax on Australian LNG to replace the entirely failing PRRT, to capture the wind fall war-profits being generated, and to then use the massive tax revenues of up to $40bn to fund energy poverty relief across Australia. Highlights – CATL CY2025 results highlight their global leadership and scale Nothing short of staggering to watch the rise and rise of China's CATL to supremacy in battery manufacturing. Their speed & scale of technology innovation is amazing to see.

Fears a decision around mining could affect New Zealand's reputation on the world stage. Trans-Tasman Resources' proposal to mine 50 million tonnes of seabed a year for 30 years in South Taranaki has been declined in a draft fast-track decision. The panel found there would be credible risks of harm to Maui dolphins, little penguins and fairy prion birds. Minerals Council Chief Executive Josie Vidal told Mike Hosking that it does New Zealand no favours. She says it comes at a time when we're trying to convince the US that we can be part of a global supply chain for minerals. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government wants to open New Zealand up to mining investment from all countries, not just from the US. New Zealand's one of dozens of countries negotiating with the US on a potential minerals deal. Ministers from New Zealand, Australia, the US, UK and EU are also meeting in Washington DC this week to discuss a potential security alliance over critical minerals. Minerals Council CEO Josie Vidal told Kerre Woodham New Zealand has a real opportunity to promote the fact that our mining is responsible, that we have really high standards for employment and health and safety.

This audio is brought to you by Wearcheck, your condition monitoring specialist. South Africa's 30 years of democracy has changed the character of this country's mining industry profoundly, Minerals Council South Africa emphasised in a report that highlights the industry's significant advance since the dawning of democracy in 1994. Importantly, South Africa's highly regarded mine employees earn among the most competitive wages in the major job sectors, with tens of thousands of employees now direct partners in mining companies through employee share ownership programmes and profit-sharing schemes. Mining is providing employees with profound opportunities to improve their lives and livelihoods as well as those of their families. Steadfastly, the South African mining sector has increased workforce diversity, improved health and safety, crucially, and provided far-reaching training and education to develop skilled employees in tandem with innovation and technology developments. Prior to 1994, black mineworkers were prevented from securing managerial positions, women were barred by law from operational activities, and mineworker pay was kept low. Thirty years on, South African mining has an unrelenting focus on transformation and inclusion as it strives to address its legacy. "We have made enormous progress in the past three decades since 1994," Minerals Council South Africa CEO Mzila Mthenjane highlighted in a release to Mining Weekly. While significant strides in the transformation of management, the inclusion of women in all aspects of mining, and improved health and safety are acknowledged, the need for ongoing effort is recognised. "We have more to do and we're intent on establishing a modern, inclusive, and transformed industry, which will expand, adding more meaningful jobs, both within the sector and downstream value chains and increasing our significant contribution to South Africa's society and economy," Mthenjane stated. OVERWHELMINGLY HISTORICALLY DISADVANTAGED Against the backdrop of 83% of employees in the mining industry being historically disadvantaged South Africans (HDSA), the Mining Charter 2018 - which was negotiated between government, unions and the industry - set a target of HDSAs holding 60% of middle and senior management roles, which the industry has come close to reaching, with 57% of middle management and 58.4% of senior management now made up of HDSAs, However, to reflect economically active population demographics, the industry has more work to do on its transformation journey to be more inclusive and reflective of the country's demographics. While in 2003, shortly before the Mining Charter came into effect, women accounted for only 3% of the workforce, women made up 19% of mining employees in 2023, up from 17% in recent years. Also in 2023, the mining industry was one of the few economic sectors to grow employment, adding 7 600 jobs, providing work to more than 477 000 people and accounting for 4.7% of formal employment. Salaries grew by R12-billion to R186.5-billion and over the past 15 years, increases in wages across the mining sector have been above the consumer price index (CPI), reflecting both the real wage gains in the sector by employees and a consistent narrowing of the earnings gap between lower and higher income employees. Communities are also beneficiaries of the community benefit schemes that invest in infrastructure and community needs, above and beyond the compliance requirements of the Social and Labour Plans. Some R7-billion a year is spent on human resource development, which includes mandatory, operational and safety training as well as education and skills development. SAFETY ADVANCE Since 1994, the number of mining fatalities has fallen by 88% to 55 in 2023, with major breakthroughs in fall-of-ground-related fatalities. Safety is the foremost concern of the Minerals Council and its members, with CEOs meeting frequently through a CEO Zero Harm Forum to share learnings and inte...

Everett Waller is a member of the Osage Nation and chairman of the Osage Minerals Council, which on December 20, 2023, won a federal lawsuit that requires Enel to remove 84 wind turbines it built in Osage County at an expected cost of $300 million. In this episode, Waller explains why the tribe continued the legal fight against Enel for 12 years, its plan to collect compensatory damages from the company, why he is “ecstatic” about the ruling, and why he believes it will “be a landmark case, spoken about long after I'm dead.” (Recorded December 29, 2023.)

This episode, Candice and Felicity dive into the world of cleaner fuel alternatives and the incredible potential of uranium! They're thrilled to have John Borshoff as our guest, a mining executive and geologist with over four decades of uranium industry experience. Did you know that a single pellet of uranium can produce the same amount of electricity as one ton of coal, three barrels of oil, or 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas?John began his career with German uranium miner Uranerz, where he worked for 17 years before founding Paladin Energy Ltd in 1993. Under his leadership, Paladin grew from a junior explorer to a multi-mine uranium producer valued at over US$5 billion. John spearheaded the development of the first two conventional uranium mines in two decades, and oversaw numerous successful market transactions before leaving Paladin in 2015.With a Bachelor of Science in Geology from the University of Western Australia, John is a Fellow of both the Australian Institute of Company Directors and the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.

Happy Mining KEY TAKEAWAYS There has been a dramatic shift in the power structure within the mining sector. The word ahead is far more diverse and inclusive, and allows for more talent to shine through. Creating true shared value for all stakeholders happens when a company is profitable and sustainable, and led by people who care about the future as well as the present. The only way that the mining sector can move into the world of tomorrow, is if we have leaders who embrace the new and allow thought to prevail over tradition. Delivering true economic value is the same as nurturing a tree. We must plant in fertile soil and ensure a steady flow of nutrients.
