From November 2001 to July 2016 I worked at the University of Queensland's Sustainable Minerals Institute (SMI): initially as the Foundation Director of the Centre for Social Responsibility in Mining (CSRM), and then as Deputy Director of the Institute from 2012 to 2016. My focus in both of these roles was on using my skills and knowledge as a researcher, teacher and manager to improve corporate social performance in the global extractive resources sector. I retired from the University in mid-2016, but I retain an honorary appointment as Emeritus Professor and continue to be active as a consultant. In October 2020 I joined the Board of the Cooperative Research Centre in Transformation in Mining Economies (CRC TiME) as a non-Executive Director.I have conducted research, taught and consulted on mining-related issues in Latin America, South Africa, The Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Mongolia and New Zealand, as well as in the main mining jurisdictions in Australia. Organisations I have undertaken work for - either through The University of Queensland, or in a private capacity - include the World Bank, International Finance Corporation, the Australian and Queensland Governments, Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton, Anglo American, Anglo Gold Ashanti, Newmont Mining, Barrick Gold, Newcrest Mining, MMG Limited, BG Group, Oceana Gold, the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA), the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM), and the Global Tailings Review. From 1993 to 2001, I was Director of Research and Corruption Prevention at the Queensland Criminal Justice Commission, an anti-corruption body responsible for oversight of the Queensland public sector, including the Police Service. Before then, I lectured in Legal Studies at La Trobe University in Victoria and also worked as a consultant for the Law Reform Commission of Victoria and the Victorian Government, where I led a review of sexual assault laws and also set up the state's first crime statistics and research agency.
