Well this looks very promising, especially for someone like me in the steel industry.

Promising in the short term yes, but look where our resources are going. I wouldn't like to see Australia putting all of it's eggs into one basket. Would you buy shares in one company and hope all goes well in the long term? What if China exploits Australias need for a large trading partner by creating a monopoly?

this will be a good thing for alot of the mining towns, gladstone, rocky and blackwater were all hit hard last year. so this gives them a chance to grow again.

It will be great for those towns. On the broader issue of climate change where the PM is so adamant it's not a good look (at the very least).

there is no broader issue in this thread about climiate change, you want to discus politics and your hatered of the labour party, then go to the politcal thread, that is not what this thread is for. this thread is about jobs. not politics, lets keep it that way.

In this case you cannot separate the two. By the Premier of QLD backing the project and it being something that directly flies in the face of the federal government's environmental initiative, it's highly political. I do agree this whole thread should be merged into the political thread however that's more your call than mine

Ps. I'll never forget the engineering manager of Stanwell power station when I was there asking about erosion shields that are used in most other power station boilers - "we burn coal here not rocks!". I think he was somewhat insulted by the question.

Make no mistake, this is a result of Palmer stitching up the deal.

Bligh cannot take credit for it, although they are probably rubbing their hands together at all the royalties they will receive.

Anyway, can only be a good thing for QLD.
