Amid continued fractious debate about visas for Palestinians, the Albanese government will be trying in parliament this week to “land” two crucial pieces of legislation.
How did Australia end up with so much iron ore? What we discovered in Western Australia redefines how we think about iron deposits – and provides clues on how we might find more.
Peter Dutton claims the government can’t credibly meet its 2050 net zero emissions target and pushes Nuclear as the solution.
China’s steel mills are shifting to greener production processes which don’t favour Australian iron ore. Australian miners must quickly adapt or get left behind.
As China winds down it demand for Australian resources, we will be forced to reply once again on economic reform, and the easy options have been taken.
Australia has a massive opportunity to reduce global emissions by as much as 9%, all while renewing its heavy industries and economy. But to seize the opportunity, government needs to move fast.
In this podcast, senior fellow from the Lowy Institute and expert on Asia Richard McGregor joins The Conversation to canvass the prime minister's coming trip to China.
Promising new green steelmaking techniques won’t work with our main iron ore exports. We must future proof this key industry.
Simple economic modelling shows the mining industry would benefit from a carbon tax.
Evergrande has a very high likelihood of failing without intervention by the Chinese government.
When borders reopen, take an Aussie road trip and explore the continent’s unique geology, from meteorites in the Nullarbor Plain to rock formations that are billions of years old.
The destruction of one ancient rock shelter is devastating. But there’s a greater loss to cultural heritage that is occurring from the ‘cumulative impacts’ of mining operations in WA.

Australia’s living standards have remained remarkably stable compared to those of other countries. Losing access to China wouldn’t change that much.
The legislation designed to stop Palmer claiming huge damages against WA raises a host of questions.
