Liberty Bell Bay statement

Liberty Bell Bay < 1 min read

Attributable to a Liberty Bell Bay spokesperson:

Liberty Bell Bay has faced a challenging 20 months due to the force majeure declared by its main ore supplier, a significant deterioration in market conditions worldwide, and rising costs. Production is currently paused.
Workers remain on site on regular shift rosters completing maintenance and commissioning work, and all employees continue to be paid.

NSW Government must back Australian sovereignty, not bow to outdated free-marketeers

The Australian Workers' Union is calling on the NSW Government to finalise its contribution to saving the Tomago aluminium smelter without further delay.
