Australia: Africa: Latin America ? Scottish Estate Owning Multi National Exploit The Globe
Worker exploitation, human rights abuses and disregard for the environment around the world welcome to the families and corporations that own a fair bit of Scotland.
Global Justice Now have produced a report on a range of multinationals involved in abuses of indigenous peoples in Australia and exploitation in Ethiopia and Mozambique in Africa to coincide with the start of the Grouse shooting season in the Highlands of Scotland.

The National newspaper (Scotland) has a story derived from the report which also cites fracking in Botswana and mistreatment of indigenous peoples and trade unionists in Latin America (link):
