BHP Billiton CEO Andrew Mackenzie has stressed the importance of Australia’s trade relationship with China, and warned that global economic growth could be threatened by a growing international push toward protectionism. He has also criticised a proposal by Western Australian National Party leader Brendan Grylls to impose an iron ore levy on BHP and Rio Tinto, arguing that they already make a major contribution to government revenue at state and federal level.
