BHP is recruiting shareholder support for its opposition to the super-profits tax.
A letter and email drop to 600,000 BHP shareholders and a series of shareholder information sessions will give BHP management the opportunity to state its case, and encourage shareholders to speak out against the proposed 40% tax.
The Australian Shareholders’ Association will be supporting BHP’s program, and is also encouraging Rio Tinto shareholders to raise questions about the tax at the company’s AGM next week.
