Gina Rinehart

[Garpal Gumnut]

There is much sloppy journalism, the weeds of the seeds of Whitlam's era which need to be off the purse of a struggling company.

Editorial freedom has naught to do with it.

FXJ is a struggling company, poorly led, with employees who behave more like public servants than journalists.

Gina will sort them out.

Our soft left liberal Malcolm Turnbull thinks Rinehart should sign the pledge to keep her nose out of Fairfax editorial affairs. He is away with the fairies. Graham Richardson is more on the ball.

Calliope, that article is available only to subscribers. Could you do a copy and paste of Graham Richardson's remarks?

The amusing irony in all this outrage about Ms Rinehart not committing to sign the charter of editorial independence is that none of the current board members have signed it either, including the self righteous Mr Corbett.

Rinehart is Labor"s Page-One Disaster;

Thanks, Calliope.

Richardson is Labor's answer to Malcolm Fraser's thorn in the side of the Liberal Party.

 

[Logique]

Richardson is on the money in that piece.

The Australian 22 June 2012

Why didn't Fairfax invent Seek? Or why don't they own it? he says.
...target journalism -- a world where the writer presents himself or herself as the arbiter of what is acceptable.
..The punters worked out the SMH years ago and have been deserting it in droves. The inmates have been running the asylum for far too long and it shows.

Can't present more, since I had to type it out from my hard copy The Australian 22 June 2012.

I believe Gina will be working in conjunction with others to sort out a few truths in conjunction
to the "dirt files" program that Labor was silly enough to endorse.
My suggestion to Gillard, don't go there!!!
Your back yard is full of "c**p".:

This made me smile from Mike Carlton

There was an encouraging note, though, in an email from a reader named Jim, who urged me not to worry about Rinehart assuming editorial control. "I understand she will treat you and David Marr just as if you were part of the family,'' he wrote.

I think you don't like Gina, IFocus.

Why?

I know a lot about the family and its history some things to admire and some that are very dark.

One point I will make is Gina's estrangement from her kids is very much about her character and not her fathers Lang.

As for the like / dislike I would say her continued litigation against a large number of people starting years ago is some thing to dislike and fear.

Mean while Alan Kohler states the obvious

It seems pretty clear these two things are not related: Rinehart has become Carelessly Rich and in a position to do something about the anti-mining flavour (as she sees it) of the Australian media

Australia's strangest rich person is apparently oblivious to the challenges facing publishers and is interested only in moulding public opinion.

Gina Rinehart has absolutely nothing to contribute to the transformation of the company into a profitable digital publisher and is not interested in it anyway

Thanks IFocus,

I don't know as much about her as you.

What I see so far with FXJ I like.

Thanks for the reply.

I am sure that if you had something "very dark" on her you would spill it. Or are you just groping in the dark? Perhaps you could send it to Julia and Wayne for their dirt file.

Was Kohler correct in saying she was carelessly rich.?

The above link explains a bit.

You would have to be a little naive to think that her interest in Fairfax is a financial investment , the money involved is pocket money to her there is clearly an agenda beyond reviving this company.

Kohler was careless with the truth.

Do you have a romantic crush on Gina ? You seem to get up anyone who dares utter unkind words about her ?

 

[Calliope]

No NC. No more than you have a romantic crush on Christine Milne. I do admire her though, for the same reason that you hate her. She is Australia's most successful woman. Your politics of envy and class hatred cannot cope with this.

You would have to naive to think these miners are going to let Labor stick it up them.
I can ensure you these miners have done more for Australia than Labor will ever do!!
Labor wants to control the media because of their dirty back yard.
I can also ensure you that Gina is not alone on this.
Technically Abbot cannot change the government.
Just maybe, big business can.

[numbercruncher]

Haha I know true love when I see it boys , no need denying it - your mega fans and thats cool.

Its just like if Roger Waters started a mining company id buy shares Solely based on his awesomeness.

We just have different taste in people

Most of it is in the public domain if you look and Gina's life is pretty much in the new book coming out.
