Mining boss says Australians are in danger of pricing themselves out of jobs and industry
RioTinto has fired a warning at mining unions telling them they are in danger of pricing themselves out of jobs that can or will eventually be done by robots.
Managing director Sam Walsh also said the company was still working under the belief that the mining and carbon taxes would be scrapped, despite the Government’s inability to get support for the issue in the Senate.
He cautioned Australia against allowing resource projects to shut because of local cost pressures or taxes only to move offshore where environmental concerns were not as strict.
