Read the Kloppers statement and learn for a change. He actually said the government had done as much as it could by EXcluding copper and uranium from the taxes.
Read this and just maybe you will understand....
"The answer is important to how Kloppers' ongoing tenure at BHP after almost five years at the helm is perceived, as much as it is to BHP's standing with the federal and state governments, which Kloppers acknowledged had done all they could to get Olympic Dam to the starting stalls, including not making copper and uranium subject to the mining tax.
Kloppers did cite all those factors, saying the most telling was the cost of building things - being careful to say it was a global phenomenon that was a big issue for other resource-rich nations like Chile and Colombia."
Like in Brer's case it pays to know what was actually said otherwise you are just waffling.
