Unlike the workers in Australia who have to just accept the risk of death or long term injury or illness those with money and power fight back against BHP and it's propaganda machine.
Hollywood’s biggest stars are going to war with Australian resources giant BHP Billiton.
A who’s who of A-List celebrities, including Tom Hanks, Charlize Theron, Barbra Streisand and Cher, have launched a high-profile campaign in the US to halt BHP Billiton’s $6.6 billion plan to build a massive liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal off the coast of the Los Angeles seaside community of Malibu.
Australian singer and actress Olivia Newton-John, a longtime resident of Malibu, has also joined the fight against the company.
“We want to stop the BHP Billiton LNG terminal now!” a letter signed by the 45 high-profile actors, singers, supermodels and Hollywood executives states.
Leading the A-List campaign is former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, who gave a keynote address at a fundraiser in Malibu last week.
The function’s attendees were asked to donate $330 each.
“This proposed liquefied natural gas terminal is part of a globalised assault taking place on our Earth,” Brosnan said.
“We cannot let this project be approved.”
The campaign, if successful, would be a blow to BHP Billiton and the Australian economy, with the project potentially worth $15 billion to Australia in exports.
