What you saw in Adelaide was mild action compared to Brisbane and Melbourne.

Adelaide action limited to 8 hour shifts and did not include 1 week stoppages so no wonder
the holding wards were full by mid month.

Brisbane and Port Kembla were completely stopped between the 8th and 14th so bigger delays.
where nothing was offloaded. Poor old Melbourne Melbourne was down until after the 27th so
a lot of dealerships in those areas missed out on those deliveries before the end of the month.
Big delays on Melbourne ships leaving to pick up next lot of deliveries for February…..
