Spent some time, above ground and underground last week at the Cadia gold
mine with @ConnickFleur
15 Jul 2023
Last week Mike Bowers and I went 1.4km deep into “the heart of Cadia”. The mine’s GM reassured the community and said: “You can be angry at us for what we’re doing, but you’re safe.” But residents who spoke to @GuardianAus aren’t buying Cadia’s claims. (1) theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Saddened to learn of the death of Age cartoonist Bruce Petty. He worked for the Age for over 40 years and was a regular Talking Pictures guest in the early years, he was a fierce intellect and a gentle man and I enjoyed working with Bruce who did this for me in 2010-Vale Bruce
