Same problems in S/A as CDU had in QLD it seems .


The Chamber of Mines and Energy has urged the South Australian Government to concentrate on infrastructure investment now the BHP Billiton Olympic Dam mine expansion has been delayed.

Talks have been convened by the South Australian Premier in Adelaide with mining, local government, union and State Government representatives to consider the way forward.

Chamber chief executive Jason Kuchel said infrastructure, such as a deep sea port for iron ore exports, needed to be a focus in the wake of the Olympic Dam delay.

"The number one issue for South Australia is the lack of infrastructure and so, because many of the projects are actually quite small, we need Government intervention - not necessarily paying for the infrastructure but just in terms of actually assisting that infrastructure along," he said.
