Sadly you are correct markfs.

Further, BHP were in there as well! (Just to highlight the point).

Presuming we were to say we would never do business which involved such payments to anyone ever again we would either a/ have to selll the stuff extremely cheaply (which still might not work because the officials would be interested in their personal outcome not the 'good of the Country') or b/ start to eat a hell of a lot more bread and pasta than has previously been the case in australia, LOL!

The whole Iraq thing is one huge hypocritical morrass which politically is being played incredibly poorly by the Fed Govt.

Without involvement in these markets (and Iraq is far from being the only one were such practises are rife) then returns to australian farmers would be decimated.

To argue otherwise is niave and uninformed.
