Part 1 and 2, Part 3 is missing unfortunately: For 150 years, mining has changed life for Australians in extraordinary ways. It sparked waves of mass immigration, toppled prime ministers and dispossessed Indigenous Australians. It has saved Australia from financial ruin and generated incredible wealth. Mining’s past is a battleground that has divided, and yet forged the nation. Land, Money and Power - this is the epic story of mining........... My summery: Quite good, but like everything from the mainstream it pays to "read between the lines" For instance they say the mines did not destroy Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, instead he destroyed himself. What an absolute pile of BULLSHIT. Of course the mines destroyed PM Rudd. Don't slip into media spin la la land people, follow the bouncing ball ;-)
