    The big picture is that 86% of our mines are foreign owned :

    If posters want to say that this is OK then that is their perogative but it is far from what our forefathers fought for in WW 1 & 2
    & the Vietnam War. How can one say that one is a good Aussie and at the same time advocate/defend the foreign ownership
    of our mines?

    PS I was a FMG shareholder when Twiggy was running to China for mine, railway & port financing, most of which was later
    converted to equity with some still outstanding. By the way, FMG operates a marketing hub from Singapore similar to that of RIO & BHP.
    Over the past 12 months both BHP & RIO have had to pay the ATO over half a billion each due to Transfer Pricing.( not a very patriotic Aussie thing to do eh?
