EDITOR'S NOTE
|
|
Good morning,
Yesterday the United States' securities regulator announced a US$137 million settlement of a case against Alcatel-Lucent in which the company admitted to paying bribes to foreign governments to win deals.
The fact that this occured during the reign of the two men that now run NBN Co - which has in turn handed out contracts to Alcatel-Lucent in Australia - did not escape my attention, but some readers have questioned whether it was fair to report this.
What do you think?

FEATURED COMMENT
"Lets face it, any foreign company winning such deals in Asia etc would have had to pay appropriate bribes. It's the way business in some parts of the worlds is done. AWB know it, a lot of multi-nationals know it. Of course it can all go wrong if someone gets left out, as a couple of recent Australian business people could probably attest to. It's a fine line playing in these markets. "
