Their Wiki, Wiki ways for all to see
In The Australian this weekend James Valentine looked at a few interesting/funny, Australian related things on WikiLeaks. This one was my favorite.
Personal email from: Jan Du Plessis, chairman, Rio Tinto. To: Jacques Nasser, chairman, BHP Billiton. Subject: Bloody Kevin Rudd’s Bloody Super Tax.
If the resources belong to the Australian people, maybe they’d like to head west and dig the bloody stuff up. Perhaps they’d like to negotiate with the Chinese government and risk a few years in Beijing Prison when they get it wrong. Perhaps the Australian people would like to live in the Pilbara in a small tin hut and stand behind a bloody great drill for 12 hours at a time. Are the Australian people free for a working bee next Sunday?
There’s still 40 bloody ships off Newcastle they could come and load some coal into. Would the Australian people like to come and take some of the risk involved in being in the commodity game? Zinc isn’t always rock of the month, you know.
From: Jacques Nasser To: Jan Du Plessis.
Don’t think that’s quite the tone we should take, but LOL. Make sure you delete it. See you at the World Cup.
