Abstract
The baseline was not a matter of developing “their” understanding of “us” and our understanding of them; it was instead a process of blending and mingling these two views. The second step, consultation, recognized that Westminster-style one-man and one-vote democracy might not be relevant, neither might focus groups. Did all have to agree or could there be minority dissent? How should the community be provided with information? The third step, community investment and development, needed to avoid creating dependency and had to keep in mind the dangers of do-gooderism because what appeared to be a benefit to the miners was not always seen as a benefit by community recipients. Modern mining is capital-intensive and skill-intensive resulting in fewer jobs as the mine gets into production.
