Gotta love how bhp gives 100 mil back to the local community...
of which, 50 mil is for airport upgrades and 20 mil to upgrade the roads leading to the airport...
those stickers you see on the back of lowered utes, driven by monosymbalic geniuses with awesomely original and subtle half body tribal tattoos, need to be edited to read...
F##K OFF, we're full... Of dumb cants
A clever re-direction of $$$'s which ends up after a few years back in the hands of the BHP accountant.
Marius Kloppers the BHP CEO showed the sincerity of a starving rat in his comments about what BHP is doing for communities like Moranbah.
Mining giants dont give a fark.
They'll dig it up, ship it out and piss off when its gone leaving a trail of unemployment and ghost towns in its path.
Tax the sh!t out of these cants
I don't love their food (I worked there from 14 to 16) but I do find it a bit ironic:
Who gets all the cr@p for having the worst food, doing nothing for the community, etc? McDonalds.
Yet they:
Sell apples. Salads. Seared chicken meals. Cereal or muffins with vegemite for breakfast. etc.
Moved to vege oils from lard.
Publish all their nutritional info and easy fact sheets, have the calories/kj right there on the menu.
Run the RM house charity,and have McHappy day where $1 per burger goes to RMH charity.
Are actually really involved in small local community charities, school events, etc. (yes, definitely some 'get the kids hooked' factor, but still they're supporting them)
Meanwhile what does KFC do?
Keep fryin that chicken in the same old animal fat.
Bring out a 'burger' where the bread is replaced by chicken fillets.
Fry some more chicken.
cut chicken into smaller pieces, more surface area to soak up more oil
fry some more chicken.
And yet who gets the bad rep?
Rudd's problem was that he went and sold the MRRT to the mid-tiered miners first without much consultation with BHP, Rio and Xstrata. Those guys were seriously annoyed, and all have a collective dislike of the smaller guys like FMG.
With 4 Corners done, haven't laughed so much as I did last night watching Q&A. No one was safe from Barry Humphries and others on the panel.
I will again remind everyone, Australia did NOT buy it's way out of this recession by money made from agriculture, tourism, science, etc.
We side stepped it almost entirely by money made in and due to the mining industry and then splashed out in an unproductive and wasteful manner on the general population. 20 billion dollars of it.
Like it or not, that's the fact.
Mmmm I'd sugggest the 4 TRILLION Yuan (thats around $700 Billion to us) stimulus package that China implemented in 2008 may have had a bit to do with shielding us from the worldwide shutdown.
Wonder if this 'n will be as good?
Too simplistic ?
Mining is great, we need raw materials and lots of people have made a good life from it but that dos'nt mean that rampant greed and sodomising my beloved state any way you can to feed the beast is a good plan for a happy society.
Time to ask " are we here to serve mining or is mining here to serve us "
Hey pweedas You say do something great, if the life gina seems to have made for herself is great then I am a lot more lost than I ever imagined.
lets not detract from the fact that she's pig ugly with spoiled
brat children and was handed truck loads of money from daddy ![]()
i could not imagine ever wanting anything from my parents other
than there love and support.......
where were her priorities ????????![]()

Personally i don't give a rats if she has cash its how she behaves even her own children can't stand her.
Trying to control the media, moaning about a fair tax, denying climate change, and generally being a cvnt.
She gives nothing not a scrap back to WA and if the iron ore ran out she would leave without a second thought for anyone.
