Rio Tinto’s Tomago Aluminium Smelter at Risk of Shutdown

Rio Tinto’s large-scale aluminium smelter in Tomago, New South Wales, is reportedly on the brink of closure.

Located approximately 13 kilometres west of Newcastle, the Tomago facility directly employs around 1,000 workers. However, any suspension in operations could have a broader impact, potentially affecting up to 5,000 additional jobs throughout the Hunter Valley region.

Rio Tinto, which owns a 51.6 per cent stake in the smelter, produces roughly 590,000 tonnes of aluminium annually at the site—accounting for approximately 37 per cent of Australia’s total aluminium output.

According to multiple sources, the company is engaged in urgent negotiations with both state and federal governments, seeking financial support to prevent a shutdown.

Albanese Government set to raise minimum wages

After 100 years of deflation under a sound money system, and productivity increases driving increased prosperity across the board for all workers in the 1800s, boards were set up and legislation passed to arbitrarily increase the so called minimum wage, effectively eliminating the 'start at the bottom worker'.

Now after 100 years of interference and inflation, and yearly interventionist so called minimum wage increases, the standard of living for low income workers continues to deteriorate...

Vigilantes are cool

Private property crime is on the rise in Australia. Today I talk about a Topher Field video released two weeks ago outlining particular case where a motorcycle thief was run over by the victims' brother.
