eter Freyberg is chief executive of Glencore Xstrata, the biggest coal company in Australia.

He is also a dab hand at hide and seek. During the past couple of weeks, our routine has entailed a daily call to Peter. Alas, he is inevitably in back-to-back meetings or travelling, presumably in another solar system where they don't have telephones.

We had been keen to chat with Peter because Glencore is restructuring again. This is not unusual for the company founded by Marc Rich - in his day, the biggest tax evader in US history. It is tricky, however - what with Glencore's famed secrecy and its hundreds of corporate entities - to unearth a meaningful set of financial accounts.

Peter's PR man, our first point of contact, simply ducked for cover. He even changed his email address.

Before decamping with the speed of a bank transfer to Bermuda, though, he did respond to one question. Does Xstrata pay tax in Australia?

''We pay tax and royalties in Australia,'' he said.
