At Roy Hill we are proud to have worked alongside Atlas Iron Pty Ltd to support Ngurra Kujungka with their Annual Interschool Swimming Carnival.
Over 80 students and community members from Kunawarritji, Punmu, Warralong, Strelley and Marble Bar had a blast competing in swimming races and water safety games at the event.
Unfortunately, reigning champions, Nullagine could not attend the day.
The carnival was also boosted by the attendance of two-time Olympian Blair Evans as part of the Hancock Prospecting partnership with the Australian Olympic Committee.
Congratulations to the RAWA School from Punmu and Kunawarritji, who won the carnival, making their 8-hour journey worthwhile.

Lest we forget

Today we remember and honour the brave men and women who have served and sacrificed for our country. Their bravery and dedication have helped shape the Australia we know today. On this ANZAC Day, let us not only remember the sacrifices of those who have served, but let us also commit to supporting our ex-military personnel and their families as they continue to make a positive impact in our communities.

WA’s bedrock industry worth $246bn
24.04.2023
Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety data released today revealed a new annual sales record for the state of $246 billion, a $15 billion increase on last year’s record. “There was 855 million tonnes of iron ore sold from QA, the highest quantity on record for a single calendar or financial year,” DMIRS reported. “It was supported by record shipments from Hancock Prospecting and Fortescue Metals Group, as well as a recovery in sales from Rio Tinto’s operations particularly later in the year due to operational improvements and the ramp up of Gudai-Darri.”

Playing the Game
22.04.2023
Get them young and maybe you’ll get them for life — that appears to be Gina Rinehart’s latest play to shore up an appreciation of mining. The billionaire has unveiled a novel counter to the shrill opposition against the industry, launching a kids app to massage the notion that resources are not only necessary to sustain modern living, but they also offer a fabulous career. Margin Call downloaded the game – Roy Hill Mine Tales – and attempted its basic challenges: dynamite was laid, ore was loaded onto a truck, the minerals were crushed, washed with a hose, and, in a final boss challenge, they had to be sucked up and directed into the hull of a barge, probably destined for China.“All I would say is those kids might have a bright future working for the best mining company in Australia, the biggest prize of all.”

Australians are ready, willing, and able to work – let them!

Currently, only 3 per cent of pensioners work in Australia, compared to 25 per cent in New Zealand. This is not because pensioners in Australia do not want to work. Research has shown that around one in five want to work, but do not, because of unfair tax and red tape barriers.The solution is to follow New Zealand’s approach by removing all red tape on pensioners, students, and veterans. This would mean that these Australians could earn as much income as they would want, without losing their pension payments or welfare benefits. Of course, they would still pay income tax like every other Australian worker. Removing all red-tape and barriers for Australian pensioners, veterans, and students to get back into the workforce, without suffering significant financial penalties, is a simple and effective policy measure that is good for them and good for our nation. More Australians working means higher government revenue through income tax, GST, and payroll tax, which can be reinvested into infrastructure and used to pay down our debt.

Super is still a priority

“We also want a two-year trial for pensioners who want to work and work more. We need an NZ-style system that eliminates Centrelink reporting and requires pensioners to pay an agreed rate of income tax. It’s simple, fair, will help solve critical workforce shortages and boost the budget bottom line.”
