Damning secret documents reveal deadly gas blast risk to WA workers at LNG project
Not surprised, plant in Darwin only a fraction better , most HA was declassified so not needing inspection. Modules from o/s were disgusting. How can they can be acceptable in this country? Every thing is done on the cheap. Only time will be tell and when one is involved in a fatality. Anonymous, 17/01/19

Skills shortage drives up wages
Wage growth I gather is on average 3% this year. This follows several years of 0% wage growth in the past. 3% growth after 2-3 years of 0% growth means people have gone backward. After all inflation is running at 1.5% each year for the past several years. 1.5% each year over 3 years is 6% in total and that means what you buy has gone up by...

'Scandal': NSW coal power plants will kill thousands before they close
Sounds like Greeny propaganda. I would believe that overseas Power stations are much cleaner. They are much newer. Greenies won't let us build new clean efficient coal fired power stations. Andrew, 26/11/18
