What is Australia doing about sexual harassment in mining camps?


Major miners including BHP Group, Rio Tinto and Fortescue have made submissions to the inquiry, which is expected to recommend steps to address the issue.

Australia will release on Thursday a state government report on sexual harassment in the country's mineral-rich west after more than a year of investigations, as the sector tries to fix a culture of sexism and bullying.

Women have long complained of sexual harassment in "fly in, fly out" (FIFO) mining camps.
