Our biggest future threat is the carbon tax that is been pushed through / onto us, it is not so much what it will cost per tonne it is the effect on the profitabilty of the likes of ALCOA and others, this will then put upward pressure on the cost base and make our exports uncompetitive, causing a drop in volumes and critcal mass, which is needed to turn and drive these massive plants / refinery's. But our dear prime minister and her useless ministers have no idea on that as they have never had to put $100 into their own business to get it going, easy to use other people money and if fails who cares, we just slap on another tax, reduce critcal funding and hand out a few dollars to average JOE-BLOW and all will be okay!
Time for business to up the anti and make themselves heard as we all have invested interest in this, including our Julia and her team, if she not careful she will not have any cash to buy another white jacket!
So we in for an interesting time boys and girls, hope we do not price ourselves off the planet.
