Paul Sheehan labor leanings since when?

I thought we were discussing the general political leaning of the paper. A bit like everyone says the Australian has a leaning towards the coalition. Didn't realise we were actually discussing individual journalist, my mistake.

Don't worry, SP - it's just IF clutching at straws again...

Apparently if you need to build an iron ore mine in Australia the go-to people are the Koreans:

Samsung is the head contractor only. I am guessing a Korean name was chosen because Roy Hill is 30% owned by Koreans / Japs and the project needs the Korean development bank loans to proceed.

A great majority of the work will be subcontracted out as various $300-800m sized packages to more familiar names listed locally.

BTW the project has yet to fully secure debt finance so it may or may not go ahead at this stage.

Good afternoon
Interesting article just published AFR today 17/12/23 from the Australian Financial Review’s Business Person of the Year ... perspective.
Short end of the stick, [Do] not to hobble the upstream mining sector on which the nation’s prosperity rests.

Have a safe and happy Christmas.

Kind regards

Slowly, very slowly, the future hath dawned on Gina and lithium be it's tint.
Pity now her poor meat puppets (i don't) over at the IPA and the spastic conniptions they now must contort themselves.
