Foley hits out at ‘appalling’ BHP BY: SARAH MARTIN, SA POLITICAL REPORTER  The Australian August 27, 2012   BHP Billiton cannot be trusted after its “appalling” treatment of the South Australian government in shelving the $28 billion Olympic Dam mine expansion, former treasurer Kevin Foley says.

Mr Foley, who was the state Labor government’s key minister for the seven-year negotiation on Olympic Dam, has lashed the company for abandoning its “deal” with the government, taking particular aim at chief executive Marius Kloppers. “How can any government, here or worldwide, take this company at its word again?” Mr Foley said.
