Hi Neil
Big money indeed for ANY Council.
Port Augusta has been running out of rate payers since
AN began moving to Adelaide years ago, not to mention
its recent "shock" that the their biggest employer was
facing oblivion.
I understand from friends in the Power Industry that
ETSA has "rationalised" too.
Good luck to PRR anyhow, a lot of their members have
really worked hard over the years.
Cheers
