You don't need to "do" Facebook, it's an open page , just search "save our steel port Kembla "in GOOGLE and you can open it in explorer , chrome, etc and go from there.
See if this works:

When I say I don't do Facebook, that means I don't and won't look at it at all...

That's your choice, I agree that it's wrong to ask for subscription to view certain older news articles, and especially when they are available FREE to view on a different web site, that you refuse to use for your own reason?

Eu is having a go at Chinese dumping after brexit and uk offered part nationalisation.

Wonder if we will do anything serious soon?

Yes, so? Should I have to use a website I don't want to just to view something like that? In the same way as vegitarians don't eat meat for a reason that makes sense to them, I don't go to the websites of certain companies - Facebook is one of those - I don't agree with thier ethics, so I don't take my buisness there - free or otherwise.

Well latest developments in Whyalla...

All *Whyalla* workers, Staff, Managers are getting a mandated 17% pay cut to be held for 2 years at this stage.

Projected turn over for FY17 expected to be $30Mil shy for the year...

Interestingly the Eastern Seaboard facilities are profitable immediately.

When your transfer cost to eastern mills is below cost from Whyalla it's very easy to see how they are making this plant look poor and the East look great..

Was 2 years ago the transfer cost was reduced to prop the Eastern Steel Mills up whilst Whyalla Steel shortfall was supported by Mining..

Meanwhile 20 000 tonnes of structural steelwork for the Darling Harbour refurb is going to Korea.
