 This podcast episode, "Mining Our Manners," delves into the mining industry's systemic issues in Western Australia, particularly focusing on sexual harassment and assault against women in FIFO (fly-in, fly-out) roles. It highlights the 2021 parliamentary inquiry, spurred by a courageous survivor's legal victory and investigative reporting by Caitlin Rintoul from The West Australian, who won a Walkley award for her efforts. The episode critiques corporations like BHP for their inadequate responses to these types of behaviours.  It also emphasizes the industry wide culture of negligence and profit-driven priorities. This episode questions the role of government and regulatory bodies, accusing them of enabling abuse through inaction. The episode concludes by challenging former Premier Mark McGowan's actions and raising concerns about accountability within the industry.

Join me in this powerful episode of "Think Dream Succeed," where I dive into the complexities of patriarchy and the struggles faced by women in the workplace. Through my personal journey, I unveil the harsh realities of workplace discrimination, exploring how patriarchal values are deeply intertwined with corporate culture. The goal? To spark an important conversation about gender equality and the structural changes necessary to create safer, more inclusive work environments.

I share insights on the historical context of how men often dominate corporate hierarchies, leaving women to navigate a landscape fraught with bias and intimidation. However, with recent legislative changes, including the pivotal "Respect at Work Positive Duty," we have a chance to make meaningful progress in this area. This is not just a personal story but a broader reflection on societal values and the urgent need for reform.

Throughout the episode, I discuss not only the challenges but the strengths that emerge from standing up against injustice. As a veteran, I draw on my experiences in the military and civil sectors to highlight the importance of resilience and community support in fighting for human rights. We explore how individuals can engage with local officials to advocate for change and support one another in this ongoing battle against systemic oppression.

This episode is meant to be a rallying call for anyone who has ever felt marginalized or bullied in their workplace. I invite you to tune in, reflect, and join the movement towards a world where everyone can thrive without fear or compromise. Let's reimagine what fair workplaces can look like together. Subscribe, share, and let’s continue the conversation!
