The Australian Financial Review (abstracts): Shell gets off to a good start
4 June 2005
Shell Australia has been working to improve its results by boosting refinery margins and performance from January to May. The Australian oil refinery’s share of the retail petrol market rose to 23%, from 17%, due to gains from a marketing alliance with retailer Coles Myer. Shell posted a 2004 profit of $587m, down from 2003’s $815m, due to limited earnings from its downstream, upstream and LNG businesses.

The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
