The mining industry threw a tantrum.
But no matter how loud it is, its claim that it’s the ‘backbone’ of the economy is more spin than substance.
Richard Denniss, Australia Institute Executive Director, joined Ebony Bennett to discuss the industry’s pre-election sook on the latest episode of Follow the Money.

So, if this is all true and mining is just the icing on the cake Australia should be a lot wealthier and the middle class shouldn't be struggling to pay the bills.
While driving 2 gas car hypocrite.. Maybe try to use public transport first.
This person is a prime example of why I no longer call myself an Australian. He’s totally divorced from reality.
Ask him how many manufacturing businesses he developed, how many people he employs, how much of his wealth he has risked to develop a business that earns enough to actually pay tax.
Probably none of the above.
Maybe he runs an Organic Free Trade coffee shop in a fashionable district in Melbourne.
It’s so disappointing that Australians who know little about our economy make so much noise.
Please go and educate yourself.
And Australian's are so gullible and seem happy to give our children's wealth to Saudi Arabia and Russia
Well they own the people that matter in communicating their preferences. (Polite as it can be put)
Amazing that the Picture of Robbery under Arms is hanging out on the walls of Australian homes, and the message is tacit support for Ned Kelly?
It's an insideout Penal Colony and the idea of a democratic governance framework for the Judiciary is a punishment tool for criminals to suppress citizens protests over being robbed. (7:30 story from Adel)
Teach the children well?
Wait until the cookers work out who's really lying to them
They lie and lie and lie…. neoliberalism foundation is lies
Sounds similar to big banks who threaten that their being held accountable will ultimately be a cost they “have to” pass on to the peasant class.
This is one of the many sophisticated arguments/lies they unleash on Canadians, too.
Lies lies and lies 😅
Reliable energy is not renewables yet.
The point is that without gas we’re dependent on renewables for energy. Gas keeps the cost of electricity lower if you take coal out of the equation. If you expect wind and solar to meet the demand it’s gonna be much more expensive forever. We will never build affordable renewables in Australia. Australia’s energy cost will make us uncompetitive with the rest of the world.
This ‘made in Australia’ thing that Labor carries on with is the Labor cool aid talking!
Leaving gas in the ground is bad public policy. That means disaster for the economy!
