bhp billiton threatens to walk away from mrrt, page-34

The non renewable mineral asset belongs to the people of Australia.

Its up to us who we let take it and at what price.

If investors don't like the price let them go elsewhere.

We can only sell these assets once , we as a nation need to extract maximum value from them.

Three ways of doing this.

Investment via Shares
Wages for the workforces
Taxes

Its a balncing act but the government as our representive have an obligation to get maximum value on our behalf.

I think greedy investors should stop trying to cheat the Australia people out of their fair share of the asset that they own.
