"The government is allowing Alcoa to do whatever they friggin want," according to a long-term campaigner for better regulation of WA's alumina refineries.
Worsley Alumina is a South32-owned bauxite miner in WA's South West. Bauxite mined near Boddington is transported by conveyor to an alumina refinery near Collie largely powered by coal. The alumina is then railed to Bunbury for export.
WA's industrial greenhouse gas emissions are dominated by four products and a handful of companies, including a few that have managed to keep a low profile in the climate wars.
