POPSXstrata face action over lead levels in Mount Isa "Xstrata is heavily subsidised by the people of Queensland for the profits of its shareholders in Switzerland," he said. "In return, they force the children of Mount Isa to eat, drink, breathe, bathe and play in the toxic waste that Xstrata creates but won't pay to clean up." Good one Bjelke-Petersen...(he was a well known supreme leader/dictator of Queensland)
