Fitch Affirms Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold's IDR...

The ratings reflect the company's leading position in the industry, strong liquidity, and sound operational and financial management. Operations benefit from low average costs, large scale and long-lived reserves. Long-term copper fundamentals benefit from short supply, modest inventories, strong demand from China and solid demand from developed nations.

The Stable Outlook reflects FCX's balanced approach to capital expenditures, dividends and financial leverage, and Fitch's outlook on the copper market.

At Dec. 31, 2010, cash on hand was $3.7 billion of which $3.1 billion would be available to the parent company after non-controlling interests and withholding taxes. Debt at Dec. 31, 2010 was $4.8 billion with scheduled maturities of $95 million in 2011, $1 million in 2012, $1 million in 2013, $1 million in 2014 and $1.1 billion in 2015.

Julian Assange confronts Julia Gillard

“We have intelligence that your government has been exchanging information with foreign powers about Australian citizens working for WikiLeaks,” Julian Assange told Prime Minister Julia Gillard in his video question as part of ABC's Q&A on March 14.

Assange's question came after Gillard had said: “I can respect whistleblowing if your motivation is to right wrong.” But she said she did not see any “moral purpose ... at the centre of WikiLeaks”.

Gillard said she didn't have a “great deal of respect” for Assange and described his motivation as “sort of anarchic”.

Assange has made clear his motivation many times: it's actually “sort of” about open government — creating transparency and accountability.

The people of Indonesia outside Papua are clearly confused and keep asking: Why have indigenous Papuans never recognized and accepted the Act of Free Choice (Pepera) of 1969 but have consistently opposed the history of integration of West Papua into Indonesian territory?

Eight nurses and midwives have been arrested in West Papua for their alleged involvement in a strike resulting in a halt to services at the general hospital in Jayapura, the capital of the Indonesian-ruled province. They face charges of inciting their colleagues to take part in a strike.
The eight people are being held by the criminal investigation unit of the Papuan police command.
