Today’s episode is the 2024 finale, with a don of the industry, Peter Ker.

Pete has covered the resources sector for the AFR for well over a decade, which makes him the perfect guest for a discussion covering the topics that have dominated the headlines over 2024, from BHP’s tilt at Anglo, to governance debates at the major miners as well as permitting controversies and government handouts in the rare earths space.

A massive thank you to all the Money Miners out there who made 2024 a cracking year!

Jennifer Hewett is a national affairs writer for the AFR, with a wealth of experience across energy, economics and politics.

This fascinating conversation covered everything from the role our energy policy will play not just in the coming election, but in coming decade, whether mining’s significance is appreciated across Australia, if Australia will get caught in the crosshairs of US-China trade wars, whether we can learn from industrial policy overseas and a whole lot more.
