Gina Rinehart

[MrBurns]

You need to tone the indirect threats down cowboy.

Doesnt reflect kindly on the type of person you are at all.

I think you need to get a sense of humour sport, I'm not even sure what the bandidos charge

Ok it was a joke , I get it now

 

[Calliope]

Its a nice feeling being on team justice and so far be absolutely winning this debate hands down.

On man does not constitute a team.

Rinehart has done nothing to you unlike Gillard who has blown all the money and now lumbers us with a Carbon Tax.

Rinehart is not fair game at all, she's a private individual who employs thousands, but I guess it's pointless trying to explain the bleeding obvious to someone who denigreates people for the sake of it.

If I were her I'd employ detectives to locate you then pay the Bandidos motorbike gang to pay you a visit and have a quiet word.

May I just say that I have ridden on charity Poker Runs with the Bandidos and have found them to have a distinctly prescient view of the markets.

Now all the whiners can go for it, with any luck you can be in the pits by the end of the week.

I can see them now whistling, tapping their feet and edging toward the door........to hide

Australians to get first pick of mining jobs
Updated June 10, 2012 14:56:12

A website will offer Australian workers jobs in the resources sector, before companies can bring in overseas staff. BHP boss says Australians less willing to relocateRelated Story: Story: Survey shows Australians support foreign Under a new Federal Government initiative, mining companies will have to post job vacancies on a website for Australian job-hunters before seeking foreign workers.

Unions were infuriated when the first Enterprise Migration Agreement was approved last month.

Mining magnate Gina Rinehart was given the green light to bring in 1,700 foreign workers to her company's Roy Hill iron ore mine in Western Australia's Pilbara.

The Government has now launched a website designed to make it easier to connect employers and Australian job-seekers.

Job vacancies will have to be posted there before companies seek overseas workers.

Shows we have been right on this issue all along.

Hopefully Rinehart gets audited on this issue to make sure no funny business is happening.

Well some budding Miners should be happy at not having to compete with low paid 457s.

What's with this non love affair of mining and the high AUD? It's brought great prosperity to this nation and propelled us light years ahead in standards of living; bringing in fantastic revenue for successive governments and putting Australia on the world stage.

As for Gina; nobody here knows her personally any slagging of Labor and co is met with 'media twists and bashing' but Rinehart is fair game?

I think people need to remember this great quote (all Australians):

it's not what your country can do for you...but what you can do for your country

+1.

You are correct, however I am sure Gina Reinhart can look after herself.

The same posters here who say you can not criticise their chosen one are the same posters who beat the crap out of Julia Gillard on other threads.

Reinhart is fair game and a broad target.

Criticising government policy and Ms Gillard's broken promise re the carbon tax is an entirely different matter to laying into a private businesswoman with respect to her physical appearance and her relationships with her family, especially when you are in no position to know anything at all about the latter.

It's unnecessary, offensive, and adds nothing to the debate.

I'm not especially directing the above toward you Macquack. Rather to those who have relentlessly, even after warnings, continued their vitriolic remarks which indicate perhaps a lack of reasonable vocabulary in addition to questionable taste.

 

[Julia]

You guys are obviously very very short on any hard facts to support team Rinehart/greed and resort to personal insult to detract from the subject at hand.

That about takes the cake for pure irony, given you, along with SCM, have pretty much led the way in gratuitous insulting remarks.

 

[hja]

I think it's normal for someone of such clout, to be in the lime light, attracting attention to her public life and to some extent, her private life. This is just the way it is for someone with a celebrity-like status.

Whether they like it or not, we will take an interest in their affairs especially as they are longer reaching than your average pleb and will affect some aspect of politics and society. Buying a football club on the side, for example, or giving interviews is like providing an entry pass into a part of your life.

As for making fun of personal appearance, like John Howard's supposed short height or Bob Hawke's eyebrows, has always been a part and parcel of public life, not that it's right... though it is becoming less PC.

Seriously you guys are the ones harping on about the feedback posted on the ABC article - wasnt us that bought up the fat and ugly comment was linked from ABC Q&A. The public broadly dont like her and its obviously mostly of her own doing.

 

[MrBurns]

. The public broadly dont like her and its obviously mostly of her own doing.

I dont think thats true at all, the public couldn't care less any more than they do about any head of any other company in Australia. They have no reason to dislike her.....

lol - and yet you don't realise that the MAJORITY of voters don't like Gillard and it's obviously mostly of her own doing?

I'm not so sure it's the public that don't like Gina - more like a few lefties who appeared on Q&A.

What was said against Gina was pretty low, imo. She has done more for this country's economics than Gillard and Swan could ever dream of, imo.

+1 to both.

 

[numbercruncher]

They have heaps of reasons to dislike - just because a few of you think shes the bees knees dont make it so.

Read through this thread and youll see dozens of reasons why people dont like her - including three out of four of her kids - and that one fact speaks volumes.

Her poetry is beyond parody:

Our Future

The globe is sadly groaning with debt, poverty and strife

And billions now are pleading to enjoy a better life

Their hope lies with resources buried deep within the earth

And the enterprise and capital which give each project worth

Is our future threatened with massive debts run up by political hacks

Who dig themselves out by unleashing rampant tax

The end result is sending Australian investment, growth and jobs offshore

This type of direction is harmful to our core

Some envious unthinking people have been conned

To think prosperity is created by waving a magic wand

Through such unfortunate ignorance, too much abuse is hurled

Against miners, workers and related industries who strive to build the world

Develop North Australia, embrace multiculturalism and welcome short term foreign workers to our shores

To benefit from the export of our minerals and ores

The world's poor need our resources: do not leave them to their fate

Our nation needs special economic zones and wiser government, before it is too late

 

[noco]

Thank you Joe for removing some of those disgusting posts on this thread.

 

[numbercruncher]

Yes some of the personal abuse from the right wingers was unbearable.

 

[banco]

Our Gina is certainly a great example of someone born on third base who thinks she hit a home run.

All these things will line my pockets as I feel thats my fate ( thats the missing line ?)

Rubbish, her kids don't like her ? how many others would fit into that category ? How do you know her kids don't like her.....really.
No you don't it's just what you read in the paper.
She's a private individual don't go stirring up fallacies about people not liking her..........I'll let you in on a secret, most people wouldn't even know who she is.
