@markopolo141 Not out of the woods yet, but some positive news.
Australia's only manganese smelter wasn't liquidated today:
"Liberty Bell Bay has been given another reprieve, with administrators for the mothballed Tasmanian smelter continuing to engage with the consortium designated as its preferred buyer, the ABC understands.
"It was revealed on Friday that Adroit Capital had withdrawn from the consortium, with workers informed of a Monday deadline to secure a new source of funding.
"Now, following a closed-door stakeholder meeting, the ABC understands no final decision has been made about the smelter's future, and workers will maintain their jobs for the time being.
"The ABC understands administrator EY Parthenon is continuing to engage with the consortium.
"It is unclear if a new party has been considered as part of the negotiations.
"The manganese smelter, which employs more than 200 workers, has received more than $9 million in government assistance since entering voluntary administration in March.
"Robert Flanagan from the Australian Workers Union said a six-week funding commitment had been struck, with hopes remaining that a sale could be reached."

From the AMWU (Australian Manufacturing Workers Union):
Pretending to the workers, but voting with the bosses.
NEVER voted for better industrial rights❌
NEVER voted for Same Job, Same Pay❌
NEVER voted for more secure, affordable housing❌
NEVER voted for apprentices to have free TAFE❌
NEVER voted for energy workers❌
NEVER has our backs.
Should NEVER get our support.
P.S. If you're heading to the bowser this arvo, remember who's cheering on Trump's war that is making it hurt. ⛽️

Infuriating. Hospitality, retail, and food trades are yet again named the champions of #wagetheft in Australia.
You can face jail time for shoplifting from a store, but bosses who systematically steal millions in wages from workers get a slap on the wrist. This will keep happening until there are real, proportionate penalties.
Solidarity with everyone fighting for the pay they've earned.#ausunions #stealingwages #WorkersRights #AusPol

This is truly wonderful news for starving Australian workers, & fitting testimony to what's been the most popular & successful industrial & political campaign by Victoria's most militant unions for literally decades.
