Before diving into the nitty gritty of the case for reform, at the Australian Financial Review's Melbourne conference on Wednesday, Mackenzie mused on his treatment in the press.

BHP Billiton CEO does Darth Vader impression
Andrew Mackenzie of BHP Billiton does his best impression of a Scottish Darth Vader.
More specifically by CBD's colleagues at Rear Window. Mackenzie noted he had undergone a remarkable transformation this year in the column's illustrations, starting as Simpson's character, Grounds Keeper Willie before morphing into Darth Vader.
It led our very Scottish Mackenzie to muse on how Darth Vader would sound with a Scottish accent.
Mackenzie covered his mouth and stepped closer to the microphone and let rip with his heaviest Scottish accent: "Luke I am your father."
Though it was a jump from James Earl Jones original, at least Andrew Mackenzie enjoyed it.
