Madeleine King takes a dixer on mining, but opens up with giving her condolences to the families and loved ones of those injured and killed in the Cobar mine tragedy today. A man and a woman were killed and another was hospitalised after an incident in a mine, which is currently under investigation.

King:

I want to take this brief moment to express my deepest sympathies to the families and workmates of the two workers who have died in a mining accident in Cobar earlier today. It’s a reminder to each of us here and around the country that mining is dangerous work and that every person who works in this industry deserves to come home safely at the end of a swing or at the end of a shift.
