Big mining corporations operating in Western Australia have listened to Premier Cook’s plans for a diesel stockpile with great interest.
Not only do they like the sound of the plan but they have even gone as far as to selflessly offer to look after the stockpile for the WA people.
A spokesperson for the mining sector said it was just another example of miners demonstrating a pure motive in all that they did. Adding,
“Alturism at its finest, I’d say, these big mining companies are well placed to look after the diesel and will absolutely make sure it gets to other sectors in times of need, what do you think? They just want it all for themselves or something? You people, honestly”
Indeed, one could be forgiven for being a little suspicious of the offer. With one insider telling The Times,
“I guarantee that in a time of crisis they’ll make up some nonsense story that they lost it all and guzzle the lot, the insurance premium on the diesel would be nothing compared to what it costs them to slow down operations due to low diesel supplies”
Well, that is quite the accusation to level at the character of good old mining companies. Clearly a jaded ex-employee who hasn’t woken up to the fact that the mining sector is people driven not profit.
Right?
