Lovely sunset in Whyalla.
First light over the Flinders Ranges.
Today I’m writing submissions on why the Govt should not be keeping documents on the future of the Whyalla Steelworks secret. Coincidentally I’m in Whyalla.

Following news the other day of the cuttlefish season being cancelled at Whyalla because they just didn't show up - I just heard that they have suddenly appeared! This is great news!

There's lots of talk in the news about Whyalla and the trouble at their steelworks (there's trouble at the mill) and we're hearing about magnetite and hematite. Well this grey stuff is magnetite. I took this photo at Whyalla a couple of years ago.

A sovereign steelmaking capability is vital for Australia’s national security/resilience. Whyalla Steel Works’ future is not assured. Nationalisation is the one path that gives an absolute guarantee for Whyalla and our national interest. #auspol #saparli

Piles of magnetite (against a backdrop of a rusty red roof) waiting to be loaded onto a ship at the Whyalla steelworks.

Whyalla Steel sackings show need for public ownership
Whyalla Steelworks has produced about three-quarters of Australia’s structural steel and all the country’s steel rails and girders. Why aren't the state and federal governments working to make it a publicly-owned corporation, asks **Renfrey Clarke**.
