Title: BP exits Brisbane.
Post by Aussie on Apr 2^nd, 2014 at 2:56pm

More jobs lost under Tony's watch....and of course that of the wing nut, Newmann.

Quote:

Global oil giant BP will shut its Bulwer Island refinery in Brisbane with the loss of hundreds of jobs.

Staff numbers at the refinery will be cut from 380 to 25 by 2015.

Andy Holmes, president of BP Australasia, told a press conference in Melbourne that the refinery was being closed because the emergence of major export-based refineries in Asia operating on a lower cost base had "transformed the industry".

LOL

Aussies has joined the bleating sheep.

What do you think Abbott and Newman should have done to stop this?

(I know it's a silly question as refineries are closing down in OZ for good because they can't compete, but it's always fun to ask)

;)

Just like with Caltex, it's the carbon tax. As soon as it is repealed, all will be well.
