In reply to John Roberts. Yeeap...YOU get it... I've worked for both.... And as much as they claim the contrary... The safety system is decades ahead of what Murray uses...

Oliver should go back to britain and criticize the british coal miners. He should also call p.m. may an %!#×%#$ a__hole.
The brits can have him. How is he allowed to stay in the u.s.?
He is a foul mouthed , ignorant piece of crap. Where are the immigration police.

The entire mining industry needs to man-up. As a group you have not made the slightest attempt to defend the industry, but more importantly all the spin-offs that depend upon mining, the people you employ, the ancillary support industries that depend upon you. Coal, oil, gold, base metals are hiding under the bed waiting for the environmental lobby groups to wither and blow away. Well they won’t and you need to use common sense and explain the cost-benefit equation to everyone. If you cannot grow it, you must mine it. The total footprint of the oil sands in 0.07% of Alberta; the entire mining industry of BC is similar 0.07 % of the province (7/10,000); the Stillwater mine has a footprint of one square mile. Defend yourself.

The part about Murray was mainly calling him out for profiteering and shirking mine safety while he claims it is all about saving mining jobs. FOLLOW THE MONEY. Not to mention, if you voluntarily go on national talk shows you know backlash will be coming.

And I’m not a tree hugging snowflake, my job depends on coal mining.

I worked in the coal industry for many years, and everyone I knew in the business cringed at Murray’s behavior. He had no regard for safety whatsoever.

Murray needs to tone his act down. Bullying by lawsuit isn’t doing him or the coal industry any good.

I would never work for Robert Murray. At least in Australia we have mining companies who lead the world in safety practices.

I think its safe to say Robert Murray does look, and act like a geriatric Dr. Evil… and that’s putting it nicely. Given the recent plummet in coal price he must be looking to make a buck somehow.
