Mining pays the highest wages across all industries, supporting workers and their families, small businesses, and communities across Australia’s mining regions. e61 Institute’s new research offers important insights into the factors driving changes in occupational mobility across Australia’s regions.
Australia is a lucky country – central to this has been a perception that a ‘fair go’ exists regardless of where you live or where you are born. But economic opportunity varies across the country. In this report, we investigate how the geographic distribution of opportunity has changed over the 21st century. We follow the trajectories of workers of different occupations, ages, and locations to better understand how wages and housing costs vary between the cities and regions and to identify the migration flows occurring in response to changing locations of opportunity. We find that the benefits of city-living may no longer outweigh the costs for many. Rising relative housing costs and weak relative wage growth in the cities may explain why millennials and prime-age workers, particularly tradies, labourers, formal carers and service workers, are leaving the largest cities behind. https://lnkd.in/eJF_U3RF

Australia cannot afford to take mining’s economic contribution for granted. Addressing policy challenges is key for the minerals industry to compete with other resource-rich economies. A Minerals-plus strategy builds on Australia’s comparative advantages – abundant resources, world-class geoscience and human expertise – towards future participation in global supply chains.

🏆 Did you know that mining makes the race that stops the nation possible? The Melbourne Cup is produced using gold that has been mined, refined and crafted wholly in Australia! From the metals that bring the trophy to life, to the materials used in racetrack technology, the minerals sector is at the heart of what keeps events like the Melbourne Cup running strong.

The latest ATO Corporate Tax Transparency Report shows that Australia’s mining industry continues to be the nation’s biggest taxpayer, paying $43.1 billion in company tax for 2022-23 and highlighting the crucial role mining plays in keeping our economy strong and funding the essential services that Australians rely on every day. In 2022-23, the mining sector not only led the nation in tax contributions, increasing its payments from the previous year, but also paid a combined $74.6 billion in company tax and royalties, including $31.5 billion in royalties alone. This record tax contribution marks the second consecutive year the sector has paid more in tax than all other industries combined. Read our full statement: https://minera.ls/0qwy

The MCA is proud to work with the Consolidated Mining Standard Initiative which aims to simplify the global sustainability standards landscape, supporting improved performance across the value chain. Feedback is imperative in helping to shape a standard and oversight system that serves the needs of stakeholders, sets a high bar for responsible mining and drives continuous improvement of environmental, social and governance practices throughout the value chain of individual metals and minerals. The public consultation on the draft standard has begun. Company and stakeholder feedback will be crucial in shaping the final standard – we welcome your views!
