Mornings With John Mackenzie

John MacKenzie chats with Robbie Katter, State Member for Traeger and Queensland Leader of Katter's Australian Party, about the announced 2025 closure of Glencore's copper mining operation in Mount Isa. 1200 jobs are at risk and the economic detriments to the town are being forecast. Approximately 17% of Mount Isa's population of around 21,000 are involved in copper mining. Glencore has committed to retrain and redeploy workers, and only consider redundancy as a final resort.
