The Blue Sky Mine and Corporate Social
Responsibility
In response to wartime demand, the Blue Sky Mine was opened in
Western Australia in the early 1940s and operated until it became
unprofitable in the mid-60s.
The mine and its aftermath became the subject of a smash hit by
the Australian rock band, Midnight Oil, who recently have
returned to the global rock music scene. The song is emblematic of
the issue of corporate social responsibility and
is part of the Oils' vast catalog of songs on environmental and
social justice issues.
When you get a chance, you may wish to listen to these music
videos: Dead Heart, Beds Are
Burning, and Dreamworld.
