On another note,
Two workers have been killed in an accident on a drilling rig off Victoria's south-west coast.
NOPSEMA (AUS safety regulator) says they were killed during drilling from the Stena Clyde platform, about 90 kilometres off Warrnambool, on Monday morning.
The National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environment Management Authority (NOPSEMA) says they were doing work for Stena Drilling, on behalf of Origin Energy, on a well in the Otway Basin in Bass Strait.
Police flew to the rig after the accident.
All work has been suspended and the well has been secured.
NOPSEMA has launched an investigation into the deaths.
Origin says there are no environmental issues as a result of the incident and gas production in the Otway Basin will not be affected.
1 Australian, 1 EU crew member, 1 killed instantly, the other died in flight to Hospital, no other information is available at this time.
Our thoughts to their families & relatives, not what we want to hear from any rig, anywhere........
