Iron ore price, page-23707

''Suggest you do a little travelling ( not in an air conditioned coach but real down and dirty travel ) and see how people in other countries live where they have not been been blessed with our natural resources ''

I must admit I really smiled at this comment on my way home. I might suggest that I am such the person you just suggested I should visit.
What can I say?
I live in a country which per person has limited resources in Asia. The country I am in am residing in for 11 years is where all the FMG's Iron ore goes to.

Next thing I want to say is ''realiable''? FMG and all the companies in Australia have been reliable concerning China and have not unfairly charged customers in China. Many companies in Australia have either allowed to be taken over by chinese companies (This does not happen the other way) or have sizable holdings in the company.

I could go on about the differences between life in the two countries especially concerning not being the majority ethnically.

I do not fault Andrew Forrest's business dealings with officials even though some call him a traitor. I know he has little option otherwise.

Australian government has a different job and that is their responsibility.

And lastly there are so many countries that have very similar issues so it is not a specific Australian issue. Might you read what just happened late last week in Europe concerning aggressive comments made by a visiting party on a EU member state.

I do not want to talk about politics. FMG will do what it has to do for the good of the business within Australian laws. Those outside of the business will do what they need to do.
