Go for it Kev.
The like's of RIO were prepared to sell off control of Australia's assets to the Chinese to save their backside's because of bad business decisions to save their backside's when BHP threathen to take them over.

This is the same mob as soon as the merger of two mining companies created RIO they immediately moved of shore to London, ignoring the agreement with the Australian goverment not to.

This mob sits in London like Xstrata sits in Switzerland. They don't care who they use.

If you watched Martin Ferguerson on Sky News this morning talking about Xstrata you will know Xstrata has serious form when it comes to self interest.

If my Super and shares takes a bit of a whack, to bad, I'm prepared to wear it.
Mining did not save Australia from GFC, Chinese and Asian demand did.
If there was no demand they would soon off load people,which they did at the start of the GFC.

The longer this debate goes on, the more likely the Australian public will reliase how one sided the Mining Industry is dominated by foreigners running the Majors.
These are the people who are UnAustralian
Go for it Kev.
