SR,

From the FY 2018 report you supplied

"Government royalty US$ millions - 416"

"Total taxes paid A$ 1.2bn"

"We are proud of our achievements and our
ongoing contribution to Western Australia
and the country’s economic strength. Since
Fortescue began, we have paid corporate
taxes of more than A$3 billion, royalties
to the State of more than A$4.5 billion
and have invested over US$22 billion in
Australia’s economy. "

The absolute return to government coffers is less than $500,000.

That's still substantially more than what we get in value from our Public Servants though !

Steele, Shadow has difficulty understanding the financial statement the check-out chick gives him at the supermarket, how do expect him to understand that one you put up?
