don't worry, the aussie tax payer will foot the bill to rebuild the plant. my guess is with the increased production the plant and maintenance program was not prepared and viva are making good coin so they are not going to shut equipment down for safety/maint etc...

Hopefully it's fixed up quickly, we don't need any more things impeding our fuel supply at the moment.
