BHP Billiton CEO Andrew Mackenzie says the Senate’s move to block key measures in the Federal Government’s May 2014 Budget is discouraging offshore investors from investing in Australia. In particular, he has urged senators to support the abolition of the mining tax, describing it as a "huge" disincentive for potential foreign investors. ANZ Bank CEO Mike Smith says the Government has been given a mandate and should be allowed to pursue it, a view shared by Telstra CEO David Thodey
