I have been, and remain, a shareholder in BHP since 1962. I am deeply ashamed of
the activities of BHP regarding their activities relating to oil exploitation in the areas
of dispute in the Timor Sea. As you might expect, letters sent to the chairman concerning
this issue have gone unanswered. Is it not time to start a shareholders group, who can
combine their proxy votes , to raise the issue of BHP's involvement in Indonesia at annual
general meetings?

I believe that a group exists called BHP shareholders for social justice (contact: Ron
Thyer [03] 9878 0832). I have been in contact with them and they sounded receptive to the
East Timor issue. I will post more contact details later.
