Miners Unfairly Portrayed as 'Demons', Lobby Group Says

The mining industry might be the darling of the business pages but it's painted as demonic by general news media, a conference has been told.

The Australian public has a conflicted relationship with the mining sector, which is at the forefront of debates ranging from the carbon tax to the nation's two-speed economy, said NSW Minerals Council CEO Dr Nikki Williams.

"We're the darlings of the business pages, yet we're painted as demons in the early general news," she said on Monday.
