The treatment of women in Australia’s mining industry is under the spotlight, and one former FIFO worker is opening up about her experience.

"I just said no I was fine and didn't want to have a cigarette and kept my hand on the two-way [radio].Ms Tweedie said nothing happened, but she was so rattled by the experience she reported it to a colleague the next day.

Ms Tweedie was a FIFO worker. She would fly out to the mine site for one last set of shifts, to then be told her truck driving was not up to scratch. She said she acknowledged she needed more training. It said Ms Tweedie's contract "was not extended due to her not adequately performing her essential job tasks" including "a significant safety breach".

I was the only woman working UG across two mines for the last 2 days of my swing. I look around in the technical meetings and I am usually the only woman. I have never been harassed but I have been discriminated against for being a female engineer and geologist.

This Sheila’s seen more loads than a washing machine on the mines.

And the Mining Companies didn't know? What a crock, but the too hard basket for complaints and time to get rid of the complainant's.

In the 1950s, whistling, growling, and clicking at women was looked at by the girls as a compliment. Boy! have things changed over the past 70 years it seems history is repeating itself and we are going back into Edwardian times once again.😆😆😆
