Not sure about the assumption for those stable payouts, BHP sp in decline due to a number of factors, primarily the downward spiral in commodities, especially iron ore. The falling AUD/USD is a minimal factor at best, very dated concept and not a core reason for investment. The franking is not relevant at all to the core BHP dividend ratio yield, instead it is an individual taxation matter for many, but not all, at lodgment time with the ATO. Still not convinced it will be anything more than 5%, at current situation.
