	Book review: Steel Town. The Making and Breaking of Port Kembla
		The early pre-industrial European Port Kembla of the mid to late nineteenth century that he describes was a small town, where an informal non-market household economy involving farming, fishing, hunting and vegetable growing was as important as wage labour in a labour market.
		The expansion of Port Kembla and surrounding suburbs as well as the regional industrial base, meant the local Koori population underwent a series of dispossessions until they were finally removed in 1942 from Hill 60 overlooking the steelworks and wharves to make way for the construction of military defences against the Japanese.
		Apart from its industrial activities, the SCLC was distinguished by its broader social role, such as in lobbying for decent housing near the steelworks, organising self-help activities in the 1930s depression, and in assisting the Kooris in developing a political campaign for improved conditions at a relatively early stage in the 1960s.

	The Commonwealth Treasurer – Press Release - Port Kembla Federal Assistance Package [29/06/2006]
		BlueScope Steel announced this morning that it will be closing its Port Kembla tin mill and that it will be ceasing production of tin-plate in Australia as a result of increasingly low margins, higher costs, deteriorating market opportunities and changing consumer preferences towards more fresh foods at the expense of canned foods.
		The Australian Government is determined to ensure that the affected workers, their families and the broader Port Kembla community have every opportunity to quickly recover from this setback.
		The co-operation and involvement of the New South Wales Government is important, and I therefore invite the Premier of New South Wales, Mr Iemma, to contribute to the Port Kembla Industry Facilitation Fund, noting that the Premier of South Australia made a financial contribution in response to the Mitsibishi rationalisation of 2004.

		The venerable No5 is Australia's second oldest and one of two at Port Kembla which produce a total of 5.1 million tonnes a year of hot steel.
		And, given that the deputy chairman of BlueScope is Ron McNeilly, who worked at BHP Steel when both these furnaces were built (indeed, he was in charge when the No6 was installed in 1996), you would have to bet this is a decision made for all the right reasons.
