Yay let's continue to dig up and sell of our nation, so foreign corporations can manufacture things from it with near slave labour, and sell it back to us while we all get poorer.
Considering how badly we've wasted trillions of dollars with our shitty neoliberal mining policies, and the immense damage it's done to our country and history (ex. destroying historical Aboriginal sites), mining should just be banned.
mining should just be banned
Mining the way you described it should be banned. No one has said that it should be done this way.
One thing we urgently need is transparent supply chains to exactly prevent 'neoliberal mining policies' (and exploitative practices in other industries). It is exactly China which is among the countries massively lobbying against such transparency, and there is strong evidence for forced labour practices in the country.
Pointing the finger to the West and its exploitative history without mentioning how Chinese and other authoritarian governments are using exactly these neoliberal practices today amounts to nothing else than whataboutery imo.
