    He said that if Mr Reith was given a mandate "I think he will come after us again" and that this would be especially so if he found someone like Chris Corrigan to support him.
    The thrust of his message to the industry was that confrontation was not the way to go and that it was "time to get back to the boardroom table".
  • Inaugural shipment of sulphur for Anaconda

    Anaconda has agreed to use Kwinana to import around 500,000 tonnes of sulphur annually and trains returning from the Murrin Murrin mine site will carry nickel and cobalt for export from the port.
  • RAC-NR agreement to fund extension of rail crossing loops
    NSW rail access body Rail Access Corporation and National Rail this week announced the signing of a $15 million agreement to fund the extension of rail crossing loops across the state to accommodate NR's longer trains.
    In a joint statement, both parties said the "in principle" agreement would see an investment of about $15 million in NSW rail infrastructure to extend 10 crossing loops. Financing of the project is being provided through an undisclosed joint arrangement between RAC and NR.
    RAC is working with NR to identify locations for longer crossing loops. The first project will be to extend the Cowan crossing loop, north of Sydney, from 600 metres to 1650 metres at a cost of $1.8 million. The project is expected to be commissioned in January 1999.
