From the AFR late yesterday:
Mr Forrest, joined by the heads of many smaller West Australian miners including Mr Goncalves, last year blamed major iron ore miners Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton for signalling overproduction to drive down prices and put smaller players out of business.
“I think Australia need to carefully distil comments which someone from overseas, which is a friend of Australia, makes about the management of the iron ore industry and supply side insensitivity, the aggressive attempt to eliminate competition despite the consequences to the Australian economy which we saw last year and which I think still deserves investigation,” Mr Forrest said.
