November 22nd – National Mining & Related Industries Day
We are an industry that is critical to, and at the forefront of underpinning Australia’s prosperity and our living standards. Without mining, you wouldn’t have electricity or the 35 different minerals available that make up your mobile phone. Imagine that, a world without electricity, or phones, and iPads, or computers. Our industry has also built large parts of Australia. We have brought investment, opportunities, infrastructure, city conveniences and jobs into some of the most remote, rugged and poor places in our country.

wonderfully strong desires to represent your country. I was so thrilled to see these attributes
demonstrated again this year as I watched the men’s and women’s eights win the Grand Challenge
and Remenham Cups in course records at Henley Royal Regatta, the first time these events have
been won by Australian crews since 2000 and 2001.
