Either Australian companies are saints or the law is just for show

By John Passant - posted Thursday, 13 August 2009


If investigating Argus isn’t fruitful start with the next heavy in BHP - perhaps the CEO Marius Kloppers. And do so all the way down the feeding chain of management.

You never know. It might turn something up.

Do the same with Rio Tinto who certainly have a slight smell about them. So Julia, to help them show to the world they are clean skins, tell the ABCC to investigate them, from the top down.

In case the ABCC doesn’t know, Jan du Plessis is Chairman of Rio Tinto. The Chief Executive is Tom Albanese.

You know, Julia, just like the ABCC is doing with Ark Tribe, a building worker whose only crime was to attend a union meeting and go on strike over safety issues.

Go on Julia. After all, it’s one law for all, isn’t it?
