NZ Super Fund dumps Barrick Gold for Social Irresponsibility

``What is unusual, however, is the response of the Super Fund in publicly denouncing Barrick as socially irresponsible. Within the last year the Super Fund has terminated its investments in eight companies in addition to Barrick. The targets of its complaints were involved in various activities including illegal construction in the Palestinian Occupied Territories, corruption, and lax safety standards in Japan's nuclear power plants.''
