Why production is dying in Australia
An example of that would be when BP refinery in Brisbane closed down, ther was actually two companies,
BP exploration and BP production, the first company sold the refinery the oil at high price so the local refinery looked like a loss maker while exploration remained out reach of Australian taxes. Now they just import petrol and diesel from Asia. Every off shored business does similar……..you think those Thai Utes cost $60k to make?
