Question:

Multinational company Western Mining Corporation (WMC) belongs to which country?

Options:

United States of America

Australia

New Zealand

United Kingdom

Correct Answer:

Australia

Explanation:

One good example is that of the Philippines, where a vast network of groups and organisations campaigned against the Western Mining Corporation (WMC), an Australia-based multinational company. Much opposition to the company in its own country, Australia, is based on anti-nuclear sentiments and advocacy for the basic rights of Australian indigenous peoples.
