Don't forget BHP's Big Con back in 2010-2012, when they took the whole state for a ride, Government, developers, mum-and-dad investors, support services, local families, spruiking their upgrade even in the week leading up to the Commitment Date, regarding the Olympic Dam Mine Expansion. I wouldn't trust those bastards for a second.

8 years ago. Maybe time to forgive and forget.

Sorry, but that won't be happening any time soon for this little black duck.

Very true. I am still amazed the major resource companies in this country aren't held more to account by the public. They extract billions of dollars of what is effectively a national resource, under a (globally comparable) minimal taxation scheme. They treat employers, contractors, suppliers and communities like crap - with all "social responsibility" focusing on investor perception rather than impact on the ground and they continue to manipulate State and Federal politics aggressively to their advantage.

I have worked with a number of majors - as an external contractor - (mostly in WA/ QLD) and it is truly disgusting seeing how these businesses operate and the damage they cause to local communities and families with their employment/ operating models (e.g. FiFo, embedded contractors, supplier terms) and act like we should all be forever grateful for the comparative pittance that is put back into communities.

It's a shame they're happy to put their name on such a drab building. Hardly giving the company any look of being remotely innovative, and in such a high visibility location.

Love the crane through the roof.

A concrete pump tower gas been installed towards the northern end of the site (furthest from franklin St).

A few recent photos showing the concrete pump and progress of the core

The service core has risen 1 level since Norman's picture (above) from last Tuesday and site is making its presence felt from northern Victoria Square.

New renders on the side of the building

Uh, What happened to the original intended finishes on the podium?

It has been dumbed down. What was already a disappointing development has lost its only redeeming feature. It is now the pig’s arse.

lunch time 1 JUNE 18. Work on the second level.
