Hastings Deering CEO & Managing Director Mark Scott was pleased to join the Queensland Futures Institute’s Policy Leaders’ Forum on Resources in Brisbane today, discussing how our industry can navigate volatility while restoring long‑term competitiveness. Mark spoke to the importance of cost control and leveraging technology as miners look to improve safety, productivity and the total cost of ownership in constrained economic times. We’re in a globally competitive environment but have world class resources and a best-in-class value chain on our side. Thank you to fellow panellists Janette Hewson (Queensland Resources Council), Andrew Boyd (QMetco) and John Cotter (North West Phosphate), and to moderator Andrew (Andy) Carrick (EY) for a thoughtful discussion on the future of Queensland’s resources sector
