Solomon Islands threatens to blacklist the companies behind 100 hundred tonne oil leak near a world heritage site.

Mr Hou said tax concessions to the miner mean the Government has earned next to nothing in tax and said that while authorities struggle to contain the oil spill and salvage the wrecked vessel, the company, with the support of local chiefs, is continuing to mine and ship bauxite out of the country.

Indonesian company Bintan Mining, which chartered the ship, has previously said it has done all it can to assist recovery efforts. The ship's insurer, Korea Protection and Indemnity Club, and owner King Trader Ltd both issued a statement this week apologising for the spill.

So they should

That's disgusting.
