When will the old parties learn.

Caltex to cut 330 jobs, shut Kurnell refinery


CALTEX has announced it will close its Kurnell refinery in Sydney, which will lead to the loss of 330 jobs.
The company will shut the refinery in the second half of 2014 as part of a supply chain restructure.

More to come...

Sorry, thought you were talking about the desalination plant that was costing us as packet and was not needed. But one can understand Caltex closing their plant over the Greens Carbon tax.

No problem. The workers can always get a job in one of those windmill factories.

I can confirm, friends: Karnal is not going anywheres.

If i was member of a union at that plant i would be looking at suing the Union. Its like everything a Union touches gets moved off sore. its like Unions strive to push work offshore.

Not in Victoria. The backward liberal state government has all but killed off the industry because the rich libbos were complaining about imaginary noises coming from the turbines. Those rich libbos with shares in the dirty coal industry hate competition :(

If the Greens' Carbon Levy closed Kurnell, how do you explain the other refineries not also closing.

Because of the Greens' Carbon Levy?

Or maybe get a job in the energy efficiency region of the Green Economy. Am sure shoppers will buy Greener products, so they save money in energy use.

Just like Brendan Nelson said, and now Gillard says : "I'm not going anywhere" (stagnation)

Will Australia survive the business exodus caused by labor debt & taxes & controlled by unions. Will we get a liberal government in time to correct the bugger up that is labor.

Liberal's corrections :  another skill shortage, selling off our gold, undermining workers, pork barrelling, and wasting the mining boom?

There are houses going cheap near wind farms. You should snap them up. Fools are selling up because of imaginary noises. Here's your opportunity to strike it rich and supplement your pension.

Time to nationalise our oil industry.

Simple as that.

Why...they only have to nationalize the profit which they already have.
Most of the cost of fuel goes to government from exploration licences all the way along the chain right to fuel taxes and excises.
Besides we are already nationalizing most of the country...but to China.  >:(

But why stop there why not nationalize all private property?
Everyone knows that governments are the best managers of everything.
;D ;D ;D

Aparently the company have been telling lies to the employees and the Union - though you would no doubt think that is ok.

Yeah, let Gillard and Swanny manage it with their customary expertise and competence.
