Not so sure about this one. Exploration is good but fear it will be rape and pillage mining rather than planning a life of mine. Seems defence industry has a hunger for these minerals.
I also wonder how the story would differ if it was Chinese investment. Foreign ownership/ control of our resources is not good yes? Or is it only no good from certain foreigners?

International/Multinational Companies/Corporations have ripped the guts out of Australia for far too long, their profits go overseas and we see sweet f*** all of them in return.
Yes, B.H.P. WAS the original Mining Company that opened the Broken Hill Mining for Silver, Lead and Zinc, it was founded here, made billions out of Broken Hill and the miners who worked their guts for B.H.P. but the miners were worked pretty much like slaves, got the barest minimum of wages, when the miners said enough is enough, formed a Union, went on strike for better conditions and wages, BHP saw that they weren't going to win so they just shut up shop and ran away to to the Big Smoke leaving thousands of men and their families in the lurch and the Governments did nothing but send in train loads of Police to arrest the miners.
The People of Australia NEED to stand up and demand from the Government that ALL resources belong to the People and that ONLY Australians can use them, mine for them and profit from them, NO Foreign Ownership of ANY part of Australia should be permitted ever again.

@powder And that is why, in my opinion, Aussies need to stop sitting back and whining like alcohols at a Mormon Wedding and stand up and be counted BEFORE this country ends up being nothing more than a pile of mining wastes exactly like Broken Hill is now with HUGE dumps of Mining Overburden and Smelter Slag, etc, blotting out the skyline in the middle of the town.
