Editors Note: One of the very few articles that states just how much tax the mining industry in Australia pays. SEE BELOW. It's a total mainstream media COVER UP!

The Mining Industry only pays HALF the tax of every other business in Australia.

Those family businesses that you know in your area, they pay 30% Tax. The Mining Industry's, they pay 15%... WHY IS THIS SO???

Poor old Kevin Rudd... the legitimate, elected by the people, for the people, Prime Minister of Australia, was sacked over this issue, and Australia is so apathetic (from fluoride in our water?) and mislead by the unethical treasonous, Multi-National owned Media. That Australia just let this great injustice slip by, without hardly a whimper from us. NOW OUR COUNTRY WILL GET INTO DEEP SHIT, mark my words. I hope I am wrong, but I dunno.

Now PM J.Gillard, who, up to this stage (11th December 2010) is the worst "puppet" leader (to Multi-National interests) that the Labour Party of Australia has ever produced. Has "backed down" on the issue of forcing the Mining Industry to pay tax.

After Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was illegally sacked... P.M. Gillard "backed down" on the mining super-profits tax. Forcing only the Coal and Iron Ore industry's to pay 30% Tax. While leaving the really BIG ASS-HOLE company's, who are killing the earth, the Oil and Gas Industry's, to continue to pay only 15% Tax.

As you should know ALL company's "write off" their tax with "expenses". if a company has to pay "x" amount of tax, they will turn around and buy, for example, "a fleet of new trucks", that way they don't have to pay tax.

So when you hear, so called "loony tuneys ", risking their life, by saying, that Australia's top 350 earning company's pay ZERO tax. Well that is EXACTLY how it is. (and they ARE risking their life, because these Ass-holes play "hard-ball" with ANY who speak out against them).

The ONLY thing these ruthless organisations provide to Australia, is the money they spend on equipment, and the employment they give to workers. THEY DON"T PAY TAX like everyone else in this country.

THEY DO NOT PAY ANY TAX!!!

WAKE UP AUSTRALIA!!!

(update 30th December 2013: Well Australia got fooled again by usa's propaganda tool, the media, and recently voted in the right wing extremest capitalist Liberal Party led by Tony Abbott. Now we are going to have more war, we are going to ruin relations with most of Asia, our most important trading partners, we are going to have economy problems, we are going to destroy more environment and hurt minority's and also the sick and the weak, and much much more... and I'm sooo dismayed at the extreme ignorance of the majority of Australians, and finding it difficult to forgive them, and not interested in hearing any of them grunt like apes anymore. I almost feel that Australian's are getting exactly what they rightfully deserve for being so gullible and stupid, HARD TIMES, thanks too an atrocious Liberal Government that serves usa big business at the expense of the people.)

BP Gulf Oil Spill-The Good Side

FROM: http://oil-leaks.blogspot.com/

As with all things, there is a little bad,however good-there is a little good,however bad.

Oil spills of this magnitude are not a new thing.In fact,the fuel in your tank possibly comes from an area such as Nigeria,Ecuador or Peru where Oil companies don't have nearly the public scrutiny as is the case with the Deepsea Horizon Oilspill disaster. Or the fuel in the bus you caught today;perhaps it came from Trafigura, a major oil broker which saw fit to dump its toxic waste from a questionable at-sea desalting operation around the Abidjan area.Did you see the Crude movie,about how Chevron subsidiary Texaco wilfully polluted an area the size of the State of Delaware,and,refusing to accept responsibility,are the respondents in a $US27billion lawsuit,the worlds largest.

Infamously,Alberta Canadas highly controversial and heavily ecologically destructive #Tarsands projects have polarised Canadians and people internationally.Venezuela has its own Tarsands project under development in the highly eco-sensitive indigenous peoples Orinoco River region.Statoil,owned by the clean green Norwegian Government,exploits deposits in Africa and Canada with not quite the care taken in their home North Sea operations.In Zimbabwe and other African countries there are the blood diamond mines.In Madagascar there is Huge allocation of native forest logging. Jaguarete of Brazil has logging operations in Paraguay which create farmland by destroying uncontacted peoples & rare wildlife habitat.

Last year,in ostensibly 1st world capitalist Australia, a Thai company called PTTEP hosted a devastating explosion on their #Montara well platform, triggering an eerily similar catastrophe to Deepwater Horizon-a catastrophe which took 3 long months to contain,and polluted 24,000 square kilometres of remote pristine North West Australian waters. The issues this catastrophe brought to light (lack of effective governance, lack of compliance monitoring, and the failure of extractive exploratory/process licensing to ensure adequate technological safeguards are in place PRIOR to the disaster) are compounded by a drawn out inquiry,still incomplete, and,forgotten, the apparent complete absence of any but the most cursory cleanup efforts. The pollution reached some areas of Indonesia. The Federal Australian Government has, apparently ignoring this ill managed disaster, last week granted further licenses,in the inshore Margaret River area. BP Deepwater Horizon 's Gulf Oilspill magnifies the issues which the world has not quite grasped;the magnitude of the human suffering and ecovandalism, whether intentional or accidental, one thousand fold.On the doorstep of the worlds media powerhouse, about as in your face as it could get. This is GOOD.In the first few days of the spill, Arnold Schwarznegger withdrew all offshore extractive licenses.President Obama reversed his stance and policies on offshore drilling,perhaps sparing the populous US East Coast and remote Alaskan Bering Sea a similar catastrophic event. BP,and the oil industry are under the glare of the spotlight as they would never have wished for,but not in a good
way.

One year ago tomorrow,in Peru,indigenous protesters,supported by indigenous organisation AIDESEP,were massacred by Police while protesting against the exploration of their indigenous areas,lands which they have had custodianship.The exploration was consented to by the non, and many say anti-indigenous,pro extractive Peruvian government of President Pinera.This deeply disturbing incident is one of the better publicised arbitrary use of state power to brutally enforce the short term commercial gain of foreign extractives,over the interests of local,and particularly indigenous people.Not to mention the flora,fauna and ecosystems whose living components have no direct voice in the often corrupt consultative processes. These extractive operators are not solely to blame,nor are the governments whose political tenure is seen to be strengthened by "sound economic performance.There are current mining issues in Papua New Guinea,Guinea, Kazakhstan, and I am just informed'our suspicions are confirmed for war torn Darfur,Sudan.

• As businesses,communities and individuals we use these polluting fossil fuels and lubricants in ways which are difficult to completely do away with, easier though to use less of. The pollution is as much about our immediate environment, but moreso, about sustainable equitable partnerships, between all parties,human cultural or ecological.We must ensure that those aspects within our capability to address,are addressed.

• As authorities and governments responsible to communities for oversight of extractive operations,distribution and monitoring,more can and should be done in the countries which have the greatest wealth,but much can be done in those countries lacking economic scale.Because control is with the consumer,the consumer countries and authorities are best positioned to implement a chain of responsibility regime which ensures sustainability and Fair Pay without humanrights violation, using worlds best practice technology and implementation,with effective disaster mitigation in place(or readily available) prior to commencement.

• As companies, Extractive Process Operators,especially mining oil gas and logging Contractors and chain solutions providers must better co-ordinate their work and technologies to ensure that the practices of the past stay in the past,that there is a future for extractives, oh,and the rest of us.

Australian Mining Tax
There is widespread concern across a broad spectrum of the Australian community concerning the Rudd Labor Governments Mining Super profits tax.
Unionists have voiced concerns relating to job losses.Industry Giants have shelved hundreds of millions of dollars worth of expansion plans, which by some estimates would have generated 30,000 jobs.

Offshore, investors across a broad spectrum of industries are re-rating Australia as a capital destination, with good reason. The mining industry apparently had no prior warning of the proposed introduction of the Mining Tax. Major mining players were treated like schoolboys by a rather inept Federal Government under the guise of negotiations.

Revelations today (23 May 2010) by Treasurer Wayne Swan that miners in fact pay a concessional tax rate - just half of other businesses, begs the question of why this is so, how this concession came about, and why Miners tax rates should not reflect that of any other business.

There are further issues raised though, than have been widely canvassed.

The vexing issue for us is why this tax is not being applied across all extractive industries. Serial polluter Chevron has announced that it is staking its future on the Northwest Shelf Gorgon Gas deposit. Other energy players are at developmental stages of oil and gas extractive processes in the region. Why are they not taxed similarly? Why not banks, whose excessive profits are generated using methods which do perhaps as much social and environmental harm as extractives.

There is the additional concern that while Rudd Labor is prepared to impose this tax, they insist on giving the proceeds over to benefit the government pampered baby boomer generation. In contrast, Norway (when oil was discovered) nationalised, formed Statoil to extract, and had funds diverted to a future fund which benefit all future generations of their people. This would be a welcome use of such a windfall tax.

We have not heard from the Rudd Government on the issue of strengthening extractive eco management responsibility obligations for extractive industries. The Montara #oilspill last year graphically illustrated the lax legislation companies such as Atlas Rig site operator PTTEP could operate under. There is also the issue of independent monitoring by government or non-government bodies. Given the flow of information from Montara,largely repeated by the Australian Government from statements by PTTEP, one is entitled to conclude that monitoring is less than perfect. I suspect,in practical terms,non existent.

The uncertainty created in the minds investors, industry players workers and the international investment community is not salved by Opposition Leader Tony Abbott's promise to repeal the Mining Super Tax-- the day after he stated that he exaggerates and that we the public shouldn't believe everything he says.Who do you believe??

Stronger Legislation needed
Lost amidst all the jockeying to be seen to be the Baron of clean & green is the fact that 11 workers souls were lost in the Gulf Oil Tragedy. We offer our condolences and support to those families concerned, and ask extractive workers worldwide to consider the safety of themselves and others at their worksite. Workers who have reason to believe that an action or omission may result in personal or environmental injury or catastrophe have not only the right, but the responsibility of duty of care, to refuse to carry out such actions or emissions, and where necessary prevent those acts or omissions being carried out by others- whatever the consequences may be.

In the aftermath of the widely reported PTTEP Montara oil spill last year,and the BP Gulf oilspill unfolding now, we have immediate unquestionable clarity on 2 points.

• In both cases, the companies concerned were unable to immediately and effectively respond to catastrophic failures of their systems. Neither company had a strategy to deal efficiently with the disaster.In PTTEP - Montara's case, the environmental damage covered 24,000 square kilometres of pristine ocean (imagine if fish could file lawsuits), and took three long months to bring under control. BP America & the US Government have no clear strategy to deal with the current Gulf disaster. BP are building "a structure" to hopefully capture & contain the oil for pumping -but could take 3 weeks.Or they are exploring the Montara option, which could take 3 months.

• Both situations point to widespread systemic failures across multiple layers of government at State and Federal levels. The public have every right to expect that their governments will ensure that any extractive processes are carried out with maximum Safety and Environmental protection in place and ready to be implemented from day 1. Why does BP need 3 weeks to build a "Containment Structure". Why isn't one available on the Gulf Coast? Theirs is not the only oil rig in the area.All Governments must support worker monitoring of safety on extractive sites over company self regulation.Company self regulation decisions are too often subservient to profit motives, a powerful driver.

• The local people and wildlife of new extractive exploratory areas such as the Bering Sea, or East Africa, where legislation is likely to be weak or non existent deserve the same protections 1st World countries demand for their own regions. USA EU and other trade blocks must boycott imports which cannot meet sustainable chain of responsibility requirements, and place such onus on their countrys own extractive industries. Countries of particular note are Canada, Australia, USA , UK in no particular order...
Countries with extractive processes, whether mining or oil/gas, whether onshore/ offshore must ensure that their environmental and safety legislation adequately addresses catastrophic failure, as is the case in both of these situations- and that such legislation is supported by appropriate and current technologies capable of immediate successful response- or don't start exploring / extracting

The Lessons of Montara
In the aftermath of the catastrophic Montara OilSpill,it is time for Australia to take stock.

• The Australian Federal Government have put in place an inquiry, headed by a public servant, which is almost certain to hold the Australian government blameless.

• Government sourced media reports seemed in the main sourced from the oil based interests at the centre of the disaster(Atlas & PTTEP Australia).

• The Area licensee Thai based PTTEP, has been issued further concessions by the Minister for Resources.The company took some 10 weeks to plug the well and notify of finally capping Montara 13 January 2010-6 months after the initial leakage.

• A report 13 Jan 2010 has organisation NOPSA slamming the Northern Territory Government for failing to have adequate monitoring equipment in place to ensure compliance. Montara is situated in Western Australian waters.

• Reports of Feburary 11th are that further license concessions have been granted to PTTEP, prior to completion of the inquiry.

• Further revelations to the glacial inquiry process provide a accounts of numerous systemic failures and safety breaches by the drilling operator, possibly due to inappropriate direction from PTTEP. The fact that such breaches could occur point to the fact that Australian Governments at State and federal levels have inappropriate legislation or monitoring or compliance regimes in place.

While there is a general consensus to apportion blame to well owner PTTEP and its contractors there has been some commentary also on the Australian Federal and State governments post disaster roles. There has been little public consideration of the legal framework which govern extractive operators at National or International levels.

The post event reports from federal government show that a yawning void exists in terms of compliance monitoring. There is no mention from government of inspections of operations prior to the event. Lack of response to the question, put Nov 2009 to the Environment and Natural Resources ministries entitles us to believe that there simply weren't any. Further checks of legislation show scant regard given to ensuring disaster management or environmental remedial obligations are placed on the extractives operator.

Australians must seek:
• Laws compelling ALL Extractive Industries to maintain adequate mitigation technology within close proximity to mitigate all extractive process failures, prior to commencement of process as a precondition of extractive all processes.

• No exemptions regime.

• Immediate Resumption of extractive process license area, plus all mitigation costs as breach penalty.

• Reduction of "Super Profits" Tax to compensate for extractive compliance costs.

• Broadening of "Super Profits" Tax to include non extractive businesses, such as banks and financial institutions. Consolidation of "Super Tax revenues" as "Future Fund" modelled on Norways oil based example.
Without strong legislation, it can be argued that extractive industry management have a duty of care to shareholders to operate their extractive processes at the lowest cost legally available to them: if a company is not legally obliged to use the latest, most failsafe technology available, the company directors are arguably duty bound to use a cheaper,older technology, if the failure risk is manageable,on purely the basis of cost.

This style of legislation is
