S1E2: Mining Our Manners

 This podcast episode, "Mining Our Manners," delves into the mining industry's systemic issues in Western Australia, particularly focusing on sexual harassment and assault against women in FIFO (fly-in, fly-out) roles. It highlights the 2021 parliamentary inquiry, spurred by a courageous survivor's legal victory and investigative reporting by Caitlin Rintoul from The West Australian, who won a Walkley award for her efforts. The episode critiques corporations like BHP for their inadequate responses to these types of behaviours.  It also emphasizes the industry wide culture of negligence and profit-driven priorities. This episode questions the role of government and regulatory bodies, accusing them of enabling abuse through inaction. The episode concludes by challenging former Premier Mark McGowan's actions and raising concerns about accountability within the industry. 

Taking back control of the narrative by having a one-way conversation with Patriarchy and Capitolism.
