The is a comic skit that involves audience participation and more than a little acrbatic skill. BHP — UNDERMINING THE FUTURE On Thursday 26 Nov 2009 there was a protest against the activities of BHP Billiton in Australia and around the world. The protest was organised by Friends of the Earth. Over thirty years ago a group of protesters were christened Friends of the Dirt by former premier of Qld, Joh Bjelke-Petersen, when we were stopping, no delaying, uranium shipments from Hamilton Number 4 wharf in Brisbane with the help of Brisbane Waterside Workers and their union the WWF. BHP stands for Broken Hill Pty Ltd which was the major Australian mining operation for most of the post war era before it merged with Billiton to become the largest mining company in the world. We should not forget the long history of BHP ripping off workers both in Australia and abroad. They ripped off Chilean copper workers under the yoke of the Dictator Pinochet after the military coup in Chile in 1973.
