A proposal to increase the Western Australian iron ore levy paid by BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto has received some support from former Atlas Iron MD Ken Brinsden. He says there should be public debate on the issue, noting that BHP and Rio have benefited significantly from the iron ore lease agreements that were struck in the 1950s and 1960s. He adds that other iron ore producers have state agreements with less favourable terms than those of BHP and Rio.
