Rio Tinto's campaign to smash trade unions in Australia has to be seen in the context of what Rio Tinto is: the leading company in the British Crown's global raw materials cartel. As the financial crash has intensified, the British oligarchy has used its companies like Rio Tinto (in which Queen Elizabeth is the largest non-institutional shareholder) to increase its economic power through the control of raw materials.
Standing in its way is national sovereignty, and national institutions like organised labour. STOP the Queen's company from using its octopus-like network of control over Australia's business and political life to smash our unions.
