Mining is one of Australia's biggest industries, yet it often finds itself on the defensive.

Sean Aylmer speaks with Tania Constable, Chief Executive Officer of the Minerals Council of Australia, about why mining has an image problem, whether the industry is taxed fairly, the growing importance of critical minerals, and why Australia risks losing investment if it becomes less competitive. 

They also discuss uranium exports to India, industrial relations and what the mining industry could look like over the next two decades.
