I mean, I could see it coming, but not this blatantly. It’s also a bit worrying that the CEO is saying something needs to be done to keep the plant running.
CEO since july, has got into a challenge that he knows is over his head. The only way he thinks he can keep his job is to either, pitch for a subsidy to the government, or pick a fight with the government. This is the launch of that strategy. Either way this goes he still looks like the responsible steward, while the government yet again is made to look like the weak(in pocket)/bad guy, (depending on how the gov reacts). Oh, and afr and other business or right wing rags will pile in on the government, because its Labor, giving the CEO ample space for his crocodile tears laced with threats.
*the last bit may be over reach, reading palace letters by jenny hosking atm, so i’m pretty wound up about unaccountable revanchivist dickheads. Thus ready to see them everywhere.

For your reading enjoyment:
Many news sites can be de-paywalled by archive.is / archive.md / archive.today (they are all the same system, the operators just keep multiple domain names on the go in case one gets shut down).
EDIT: Never mind, it’s not de-paywalling this article/publication. I’ll leave this comment as a monument to my hubris, though, haha, and in general it’s helpful advice.
So, if you know, whats the difference, in premise, between these people, and internet archive?
The Internet Archive is compliant with the law. My understanding is that archive.today isn’t, and I believe they do things like using paid subscriptions (donated, if I recall correctly) to de-paywall articles.
As a result, you should use the Internet Archive where you have the option, because archive.today may eventually be shut down.
EDIT: Here’s the article I was recalling all this from: https://gyrovague.com/2023/08/05/archive-today-on-the-trail-of-the-mysterious-guerrilla-archivist-of-the-internet/ It’s worth a read!
Oh sweet! Thanks for the article as well, that’ll be good.
