The Australian steel industry is worried about not getting access to the contracts for the Gorgon Gas Project on Barrow Island in Western Australia. The Australian Steel Institute recently complained to the WA premier Colin Barnett. In their complaint, the institute said that Australian companies were not being given the opportunity to compete for work on the massive gas project. The reply from the premier provided little encouragement to Australian steelmakers.
The chairman of the institute, Ian Cairns, said "These are Australian resources. These major projects are on Australian soil. We're going to be operating them and taking advantage of them but we are certainly not getting a fair crack at the construction work involved in them, which is massive".
