ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week on Blokes in Mining, Drew and Dave dive into what’s happening in the world and how it affects life on site.
They unpack the growing tensions with Iran and why global conflict can actually have a surprising upside for the mining industry. Higher demand, rising commodity prices, and why geopolitics often ends up flowing straight through to the resources sector.
The boys also get into the politics being talked about in the crib room — including why plenty of miners reckon they’ll be voting for Pauline Hanson and One Nation at the next election.
Then it’s time for a classic travel debate: plane etiquette.
Should kids be banned from flights packed with FIFO workers? And when you’re stuck in the middle seat… who actually owns the armrests?
Plus another instalment of Dave’s Diary, where Dave shares a few stories from the week that only seem to happen in mining camps.
Real talk from the pit, the plane, and the pub — this is Blokes in Mining.
