Nuclear salesmen to run Australia’s new Resources Rent Tax

BHP Billiton and the uranium lobby are getting ever more powerful in policy-making in Australia.

Julia Gillard’s new Resources Rent Tax will be organsed by two top nuclear salesmen –  Don Argus (from BHP BIlliton) and Nuclear Industry Minister Martin Ferguson.

Australia’s top science research body has strong links to BHP, and a chairman, Simon McKeon, who is a climate change doubter.
