BHP has a history of bad acts but…..the bad acts of corporations are really the evil acts of individual people.
 
It seems that the current leadership of BHP are good people.
 
This is the kind of behaviour we want from a mining company. From the whole industry. Mining is an essential part of our society and it would be fabulous if environmental groups and mining companies could work together. Plenty of places in Australia where collaborations between the mining industry and the environmental movement would yeild excellent fruit.

For example around Daylesford there is still masses of gold. A few gold mines in the area where concerned people can keep an eye on them and hole the companies to account is a much lesser evil than uncontrolled mining in the developing world. And we need gold. If I get any hate from this opinion it will be delivered via components that contain gold. So to the haters send your hypocritical comments via snail mail.
