Moral of the Lithgow Mine Repeats State Losses and Questions Ownership
The Lithgow State coal mine shows a 1947 loss of 3226 pounds due to labor issues and strikes. A Commonwealth inquiry notes heavy debts, inflated costs for railway coal, high accident and insurance rates, limited mechanisation, and returns that favor private mines. The Coalcliff mine fares worse, and overall the piece critiques public ownership as costly and inefficient for taxpayers.
