Carbon Tax repeal causes uranium mine to be scrapped

[topsidesoul]

With talk of a repeal of the carbon tax  Russian mining company JSC Atomredmetzoloto have pulled the plug on plans for the Honeymoon uranium mine.

Priminister Tony abbott was quoted as saying 'Nearby Broken hill will be wiped off the map'

Why will Broken Hill be wiped off the map, because 70 jobs are lost? Is there more to it than loss of jobs?

It didn't need to make sense when the current Priminister tried to link the  Olympic Dam  expansion being put on hold with the carbon tax, it doesn't need to make sense now.

Whyalla was wiped off the map because of Julia Gillard's carbon tax.

Straight from the horses mouth.....

Research is not your strong point is it.....  

Neither is telling the truth a strong point of the desperate left, any lie will do to further their hate filled cause.

I have posted this before when the left have made up one of their desperate lies and false stories about this subject

 South Australian state secretary of the AWU, Wayne Hanson made that claim,

IT WAS NEVER SAID BY ABBOTT FIRST

Hanson not only predicted an apocalyptic end for Whyalla, he threw neighbouring Port Pirie into the pit as well because both had economies based on the high emission production of steel, iron ore and zinc.

Carbon tax 'will destroy' major centres such as Port Pirie and Whyalla

• April 19, 201112:00AM  NOTE THE DATE

THE state's two key industrial cities will be "wiped off the map" by a carbon tax, a major union warns.

The tax would strip thousands of jobs from Whyalla and Port Pirie, the Australian Workers Union state secretary Wayne Hanson said.

The internal revolt from Labor's industrial heartland threatens not just the reform but the Government's survival.

Mr Hanson yesterday stepped up his union's opposition to the tax, claiming the future of both cities would be in serious doubt because both had economies based on the high-emission production of steel, iron ore and zinc.

"Goodbye. They will be off the map," he said.

His opposition to the tax appears to be a calculated manoeuvre by the AWU and follows last week's surprise about-face by the union's national secretary, Paul Howes, who declared the AWU's support would be conditional on absolutely no jobs being put at risk in the steel sector.

But carry on with the lie if it makes you feel better....

Upset much?....Humor is not your strong point.....the whole post was a joke, but  you missed the whole point.

Abbott said  it on televison because Tony Abbott is  only capable of fear mongering as opposition leader.

Did Tony Abbott say that?is that video a lie? Is the person on that video an imposter?

No, it is Tony Abbott and further proof that you can not wiggle your way out of as much as you try to deflect.

No, you are the desperate one and the upset one because you have lost control of this board and can not handle that fact.

I am not a unionist or a supoorter of the union, thus I do not care about your beef with unions.

I said good day sir!

good article from news . the readers mustn't actually read it because it says  'Low uranium prices and production difficulties at the plant have put pressure on the mine'  that is not the carbon tax.  tone really is a bs artist no doubt about it..

Finally, someone gets it.

Not all mine closures/expansions that do not happen are because of taxes.

If something we mine is not needed by a certain continent or country such as China or the middle east, then it's value to someone prepared to back a project is not worth  the outlay.

My town mostly  closed down after they cut the shifts back in the 80's from two 12 hour shifts to just one.

10 years back with the need for iron ore they went back to two shifts and I now house prices are insane.

This cut back  was not because of any tax or because of greedy unions, this was because throughout the 90's there was no great need for raw minerals.

Nero justifies one lie because someone else did it first .
