For journalists
We answer questions we would rather not be asked, on the record, and we do not require questions to be submitted in advance as a condition of a response.
Media enquiries
All media enquiries route to [email protected] and are acknowledged within one working day. Urgent enquiries relating to an incident at an operation are answered the same day.
Site visits
Journalists are welcome at our operations. Visits require lead time for safety induction and travel logistics, and we do not restrict who you may speak to on site or require an escort during interviews.
Categories we publish
