Julie Bishop built her career as a politician representing Australia on the world stage. 

Now, she’s taken on a new lobbying role, working for a China-linked resources company who are attempting to mine uranium in Greenland. 

Bishop’s gig comes at a time when China and the US are ramping up their fight for domination in the Arctic – and if she’s successful, the benefits will flow to China.

Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper, Ben Abbatangelo, on the mine that could ruin Greenland – and what it means for Australia’s national interest.
