replacement

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Article currently refers only to it being "due for replacement". In fact, it has now been sold, and its replacement has already been operating.

Details of price, new purpose, and explanation of why it was not converted to scrap: http://www.aph.gov.au/~/media/Committees/economics_ctte/estimates/bud_1415/Industry/answers/BI-89_Whish-Wilson.pdf
