Fortescue Metals Group chairman Andrew Forrest says the Australian Government should proceed with a parliamentary inquiry into the iron ore industry. He notes that lower prices for the steel input affects government revenue, and he says the Government should not yield to pressure from BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto. The two big miners have criticised proposals for a federal inquiry, while Prime Minister Tony Abbott has moderated his position on the issue, after previously supporting such an inquiry.
