Business speech can be about the performance of a business during a year, say a good year, the need to adapt, review of a tough year, outline of a problem solving strategy and the performance improvement.
On of the areas of business where speaking is important is the area of sales. Providing insightful assistance to sales is important to solve the toughest challenges.

A political speech relates to social relations involving authority or power, the study of government of states and other political units, the profession devoted to governing and to political affairs and the opinion you hold with respect to political questions. A political speech relates to the process and method of making decisions for groups. The most common is government decision making. Although these are generally applied to governments, political speeches are also observed in all human group interactions including corporate, academic, and religious. Political speeches pertain to distribution of power within a society; the forces behind a society-human or divine.
Commonly political speeches relate to the activities of government.
Political speeches facilitate the process by which a community's decisions are made, rules for group behavior are established, competition for positions of leadership are regulated, and the disruptive effects of disputes are minimized.

In this case the issue is the safety of the mines and in my opinion it is fair and in general good.
