BHP Paid Both Sides? New Twist In Simon Turner Case | The West Report
If we can’t buy you out, we’ll sue you. This seems to be BHP’s modus operandi. The Great Aussie has dropped its case against Michael West Media but the case against coal miner Simon Turner continues.
The case returns to court this week when we reveal Turner’s entire legal file has been forwarded to MinterEllison. This wasn’t the first time. It comes down to corporate power, the integrity of the legal system and freedom of the press in Australia.
We look at the power of Australia’s largest company in media, independent media and politics.
You are invited to help us celebrate ten years of independent journalism at Dockside, Darling Harbour, Sydney, also known as the “BHP Ball” featuring the opening MinterEllison Press Freedom (Not) Speech.
You are invited!
