Our host Karim Raffa speaks with Paul Everingham, CEO of The Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia about what’s happening to commodities in the wake of Covid. With half of all jobs in Western Australia, and a quarter of jobs in the country linked to mining and resources, any commodity downturn is a bad one. But Australia’s been here before.
