Australian government obliging BHP Billiton on environment

Now and then we get an insight on who really runs Australia.  Chiefs of BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto accompany Prime Minsiter Julia Gillard on official visit to China.

BHP Billiton’s Don Argus heads the government’s mining tax task force.

And now – the recommended revamp of Australia’s environmental laws is strangely delayed – for 2 years!

That will give BHP Billiton time to get its Olympic Dam Uranium Mine through environmental laws, while the rules remain weaker.
