Australia’s mining industry has “always been there for us” as it was the industry to pull us out of the pandemic, according to Liberal MP Garth Hamilton.
“This is the industry that got us through the pandemic … when everything else went to custard, this is the industry that held up,” Mr Hamilton told Sky News contributor Steve Price.
“It’s the industry that got us through the GSC; it’s the industry that got us out of the 90s recession.”

Australia has squandered the only boom in human history for minerals that we have, it will never be repeated.
it's not just mining we need, farming also is very important in Australia.
I like how the government created pandemic is still being portrayed as an event that was "survived." 😂 Worthless P'sOS
This obsession with net zero is trouble
Correction, WA kept the country going during the pandemic by closing the borders for two years, that's why Albo is spending 600 million dollars on the expansion of the Portheadland ports, but don't tell Murray Watt that we send live exports through there,
NETT…ZERO…IS MURDER…WE THE PEOPLE THE 99% SAY NO TO CLIMATE REGULATIONS BULLSHIT AGENDA !!!
What suitable to his Country . Is of corse his opinion. For industry it’s commercially successful
Get rid of all the wef and who and ccp in your country and return to your roots and thrive and survive!!!!
We simply need to tax mining companies more to get our country back on track. Any mining company needs to provide Australians with wholesale energy first and then tax the exports higher. Netherlands tax mining companies 70% tax. We sell thr best coal in the world to China at bargain prices. Insanity.
Give Net Zero the heave ho. It's killing jobs everywhere and it's aims are based on falsehoods.
What a load of bollocks
The profits from our mining goes to foreigners: the shareholders of multinational companies.
When you say they've "always been there for us", are you referring to politicians like yourself, Garry? Because that I believe.
:I
About bloody time someone in the left woke up to themselves now all we need to do is rebuild our other important industries like agriculture, manufacturing and the like. This anti industry world we live in is totally delusional and unacceptable.
The whites suppremacists Invaders illegal occupiers only causing the Destructions of the enviroments without delay .PERIOD .
What pandemic? Oh, the manufactured one, designed the strip the wealth, freedom and dignity of every world citizen?
By this gospel you are SAVED , if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

As what Trump’s said.. Drills baby drills if you want your country prosperous 😁👍💙
They amount of fuel needed to mine is so high.
When they speak of Green understand its not about the climate. $$$$$
Neanderthals Died Out because of their lack of ability to see the color Red.
We are going back to the moon and the first thing we talk about is mining the moon, I hope we stake a right to the first peoples imagine being the traditional owners of the moon.
Thanks mining of cause we'll have a mining tax or we all will bloody protest
Wake up don't woke up! Forget China get back to work Australia, I want wool clothes,real meat, stainless steel not plastic Quality last the test of time, Proud and loud
Let’s hope Mining never runs out of coal, iron ore
Someone's forgotten agriculture with mining
Extraction will go down if we leave fossil fuels are left in the ground. The transition will target different minerals but it will be a lot less than coal, gas and oil.
Wwwhhhat they have always been there for themselves raping our resources for astronomical profits …. Keep it real they will never stop for anything
When the lunatics shut down the mining and fossil fuel industries how are we going to pay for the free stuff, including the NDIS?
Placing Aussies in energy poverty. Congratulations you did it.
oh her at Evolution Mining, she was a bit of a rude cow actually and wants the best service or she makes a big song & dance over it. Did she get a salary review during the global pandemic as well?
Mining got us through the GFC akso, but is being destroyed, so not for much longer.
Who is this non entity Liberal. Best thing we can do with mining is to increase taxes on them while they are making super profits, like qieensland has done.
Mars has net zero, NO mining, farming, driving, drilling, bushfires, flying, PEOPLE.
The ramifications of the net zero fantasy are coming to light , slowly but unstoppable, making the whole concept unfeasible.
Until 100% of the mining is done to actually benefit Australians instead of foreign multinationals that pay zero tax and even hire foreign fly workers, and corrupt politicans on their pay roll forget it. Shut them all down for all I care. The status quo isn't making my power bills etc etc any cheaper so it's not working out. Shut them all down.
Thank you Australia for contributing to the suicide mission known as Net Zero
We need more special/critical mineral mining instead of relying on China.
