The Mining and Energy Union has rejected BHP's claims that future critical minerals projects would be adversely affected by new laws to close loopholes affecting the pay of labour hire workers.

Mining and Energy Union General Secretary Grahame Kelly said that Australians rightly expected decent wages and fair working conditions in exchange for multinationals like BHP profiting from the nation's mineral resources.
