    The Oil & Gas corporations (mostly foreign owned) are extra prosperous
    in Australia (we just love Haustralia) because they are allowed to agressively avoid Tax.

    RE: The BHP/WPL merger:

    BHP is 92% foreign owned and WPL is 84% foreign owned
    so with all probability the merged entity will be on average
    90% foreign owned with that %age of profits going overseas.

    This was for 2016 and in the interim, foreign ownership has increased of both entities, IMO.
