The big difference is that BHP-Billiton (which is actually a multi-national and isn’t majority Australian owned) employs non Australians in other countries like China to comply with local labour laws. They aren’t doing it in a cynical attempt to bypass Australian EBA’s and Australian laws like Jetstar are with Singapore based cockpit crew flying Australian registered aircraft through Australian skies on Australian licences obtained through exemptions of dodgy foreign licences from the Philippines.
