Usually this results in industries closing down or moving offshore ,and most people buying imported goods from China or wherever its the cheapest regardless of quality.

My industry is going thru the stage as we speak, local Aussies wont work the hours required with the extended time away from home , so the companies are starting to look for people from other countries. It started with the boats engineers a few years back and is starting to progress to deck crew now.

Just my 2c worth

There are still a few issues to be addressed apparently, if you can trust a journo! There's always a modicum of truth in a media story, isn't there?

Dardanup lithium waste dump plan shows how shamefully backward we are

Yes Aussies increasingly want the easy path, in png its too hot, too remote, too dangerous. Jobs that used to be filled by Aussie/NZ sre being taken up by those fromthe sub continent or the Philippines, entrepreneurs are all Chinese. Gawd, how hard is it to fill jobs in Australia with crazy expectations

Really... it’s very rare when your country doesn’t have any... hence why very expensive mines on the African continent do so well.

The other major holder of Graphite stocks are:

Canada, India, Brazil, Sri Lanka and North Korea

The volume it’s found in won’t have a chance of keeping up with demand...

This will do CO2 levels no good at all

It won't have as much effect on CO2 levels as some people claim.

Do volcanoes emit more CO2 than humans?

Humans emit 100 times more CO2 than volcanoes.

Which emits more carbon dioxide: volcanoes or human activities? | NOAA Climate.gov

Human activities emit 60 or more times the amount of carbon dioxide released by volcanoes each year. Large, violent eruptions may match the rate of human emissions for the few hours that they last, but they are too rare and fleeting to rival humanity’s annual emissions. In fact, several individual U.S. states emit more carbon dioxide in a year than all the volcanoes on the planet combined do.

I think sulper is the main emission but im not going up there with a test tube. Getting mighty black in that direction, now spitting rocks with a steady rumble.
