What Can Be Done?
BHP is an Australian company. If the mine was in Australia, BHP would be expected to:
Be responsible for cleaning up all the land and river damage from Ok Tedi.
Stop dumping waste into the river.
Be responsible for the true cost of the damage it has caused for as long as the damage lasts.
Be responsible even after the mine closes.
Provide full information and consult with all affected communities.
Australians would also expect BHP to:
Be responsible for helping landowners to have a way to earn money, to have clean water and to be able to grow food
Help people keep their culture. People depend on the mine now and their traditional skills are being lost.
