	BHP Billiton
		The Broken Hill Proprietary Company was incorporated in 1895, operating the mine at Broken Hill[?] in western New South Wales.
		The company began petroleum exploration in the 1960's with discoveries in Bass Strait, an activity which became an increasing focus as their manufacturing operations began to become less profitable with the opening of the Australian economy.
		One infamous project was the Ok Tedi copper mine in Papua New Guinea, where the company was successfully sued by the indigenous inhabitants because of the environmental damage caused by the mine operations.
