The Frontline Impact

How this affects you

Despite Inpex's arguments that a full production stoppage at its Ichthys facilities could cause significant damage, the FWC found its evidence not compelling, noting that planned and unplanned stoppages occur frequently and lost production could be made up. This suggests a localized economic impact rather than a national crisis.
