It isn't as though we haven't done it before, in the 1960's BHP from memory was given royalties relief on the condition they built a blast furnace in Kwinana, which they did.

I assume similar situations happened over East, with Whyalla, Kembla and Newcastle, then along came globalisation and tariff removal, where the rush to get the cheapest labour and the maximum profits took over.

Now we are trying to undo it all, IMO if we don't we will be in a huge mess, it took 40 years to get to this state I don't think we have 40 years to unwind it. :2twocents
