The standards expected of Australian mining companies operating at home do not always translate to their overseas operations. One example of this is Melbourne-based OceanaGold, which is trying to develop a gold and copper mine in Didipio, in the northern Philippines.
Oxfam has a long involvement with the community in Didipio and our Mining Ombudsman has made many visits there to hear community concerns with the way OceanaGold has pursued the development of the mine. While there is some support for the development of the mine, many of the people in Didipio who derive their livelihoods from agriculture -- including by growing rice, citrus and vegetables -- believe that the proposed mine puts their future at risk.
Through our investigations we have found that the human rights of many people in Didipio, including Indigenous Peoples, have been violated, including:
* forced relocation contrary to the right to an adequate standard of housing;
* harassment and intimidation contrary to the right to life and security; and
* failure to provide accurate information in relation to the project and the manufacture of false approvals of key community representatives contrary to the right to free, prior and informed consent.
@wonder9ify He is a bit racist, he insulted Former PM Keaing about some girlfriend he had.

@dv8wolfie Philip Ruddock is the father of the house in canberra, in other words longest serving in Parliament. My dad met Rudddock shortly before he went into parliament which was almost 38 years ago.

Wilson Tuckey is the longest serving politician in australias history...as phil said..he stands up for his electorate...he also holds the record for being booted out of the house..because he is not afraid to speak his mind..unlike a lot of the clowns in parliment today he has life experiance..he's driven roadtrains..owned a pub..he is probly more in touch with what average aussies think than a lot of the current crop of pollies...
