Messrs Dyer and Keane,

Well spoken. Indeed, I have been wondering recently if Mr Albanese now knows the meaning of the term ‘sovereign risk.

I was considering putting in an application for the job at Rio Tinto, on the basis that I could assure them that I would destroy less than $1b p.a. a turnaround of $4.9b p.a. on average.

The sycophancy of substantial sections of the print and TV industries has been more than a little galling.

Is it true that the Rio Pilbra mines are non-union, and that the productivity went from 23,000 tons per worker to 16,000 a year? I can’t recall where I read it, but it was recently.

Makes it hard to make a case that it’s the unions fault if it’s true.
