That's an interesting and desperate spin by someone who's clearly over 60.
Refineries in Australia have been under the pump for at least 20 years. Refinery managers and workers have been warning various governments the whole time. They have been rejigging their businesses in order to stay in the game. International corporations have been building new refineries overseas because they are cheaper to run.
