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.”

    1. 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,

    2. 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.

    3. When you say they've "always been there for us", are you referring to politicians like yourself, Garry? Because that I believe.

    4. 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.

    5. What pandemic? Oh, the manufactured one, designed the strip the wealth, freedom and dignity of every world citizen?

    6. By this gospel you are SAVED , if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: *that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Co 15:2-4) ⚠🌋〰🌊⚡☢🔥F I N A L W A R N I N G !

      For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world, that He gave His One and only begotten Son, so that whoever BELIEVES in Him shall not perish ]hell] but have Eternal life [ Heaven].

    7. 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

    8. 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.

    9. Wwwhhhat they have always been there for themselves raping our resources for astronomical profits …. Keep it real they will never stop for anything

    10. 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?

    11. 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.

    12. The ramifications of the net zero fantasy are coming to light , slowly but unstoppable, making the whole concept unfeasible.

    13. 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.
