Its funny...the mining super tax and carbon price was supposed to make mining in this country unaffordable and all our miners were going to migrate to third world countries where they could do whatever they pleased.
What happened?

Do you think these projects are organised overnight?

Some of these are too far gone in the process to be cancelled therefore must go ahead. Some are not as we have seen BHP put on hold a rafter of projects

Is BHP solely invested in Australia?
Is BHP exposed to international capital markets?
Would BHP postpone projects due to international insecurity & fear within capital markets?
Would BHP ignore international factors & focus solely on whats occurring within Australia, a nation smaller than most international cities?

BHP has put new projects across the globe on hold because of the global slowdown.
Whats that got to do with the mining super tax or the carbon price?

No

Is BHP exposed to international capital markets?

Yes

Would BHP postpone projects due to international insecurity & fear within capital markets?

Yes and no because capital should have been secured for these projects. However if the cost assumptions (carbon tax) have changed then the terms of credit would need to be reassessed

Would BHP ignore international factors & focus solely on whats occurring within Australia, a nation smaller than most international cities? If you are referring to small - why do you ignore that Australia emits 1.3% of total carbon emissions and a 5% decrease will not change global temperature. Hence the carbon tax is stupid. Without the carbon tax then there would be more incentive to continue the projects

No states of Australia are in recession

Would that be because of their excellent manufacturing base, earning the big bucks for Australia? Grin

Admit it, if it wasn't for QLD and WA putting in the hard yards and earning Australia's export coin, we would all be on the dole.

Vic, SA and taswegia are all circling the drain as far as industry and employment goes and they desperately need to rip the wealth out of QLD & WA to keep them afloat. Grin

And how is SA's car manufacturing industry staying afloat? It doesn't earn dick for the country and sucks up billions in government handouts.

If it wasn't for the great wineries, it would better to turn off the lights and shut the state down.
