"Mining companies and the opposition say Australias tax will stall investment in an industry that in April accounted for 57 percent of the value of goods exported"
The above, probably excludes "services" (a common term is "goods and services"), nevertheless, the figures show how important the mineral industry is to Australia.
It appears that BHP (the worlds largest miner), is 60% Australian owned. BHP have operations in other parts of the world (eg chile) . Excluding overseas shareholders, and overseas operations, it could be that "Australians" already own 100% of BHP's operations in Australia. Australians, through BHP, already have a fair share of Australian resources.
RIO is mostly foreign owned.
