Seems someone is threatening to take their bat n ball and go home ?

MINING magnate Gina Rinehart says her company Hancock Prospecting may sell its interest in Fairfax Media if "suitable conditions" aren't offered to it.

Former adviser to Ms Rinehart, Michael Yabsley says there is no doubt the billionaire wants the influence of owning media interests.

"The media has always driven her nuts," Mr Yabsley told ABC TV.

Control the media and you can sway the opinion of the impressionable masses.

These poor people denied their birthright and dragged through such a public debacle.

Yes, but to really control it she would have to own all media outlets and there be no ABC in existence. That is never going to happen, and if she turned the SMH and The Age into what everyone seems to think she will, would those papers be taken seriously? No, they woudn't. Even Yabsley told her she was wasting her time. I really think all this media control thing is just a furphy.
 
Well I heard on the radio that Gina is interested in the media because she wants to see the correct facts on climate change be edited.
I for one know there is a lot of rubbish out there.
Little grubs have been coming out from under their rocks everywhere with a load of rubbish.
In any case why has the media attacked her on something she may do, but have no proof.?
joea
 



Why do you have so much faith in her intentions ?

If all thats being said is rubbish from grubs you must have some solid evidence that her intentions are honest and genuine ?

Or just another fan of her bank balance ?

Why do you and the media have so much doubt in her intentions.?

I am not rich, but have both poor people and millionaires as my friends.
It has never worried me before. But I certainly do not pre-judge people.
An old mill manager an I, had an agreement to always give a person an opportunity to commit
to a job.
When they moved on, they always come and thanked us for the opportunity.
joea
 


How did Murdock go in the UK then?
 
Quite a good read from Ellen Fanning worth a read if you are interested in what the future might look like.


Remembering Lang

Sir Charles Court endured a vicious, personal campaign against him which he attributed to his refusal to allow Hancock carte blanche in his efforts to develop the iron ore deposits he had discovered in the Pilbara region, in the north of the state

I dont think the media is that important overall . It may well be a tool , to attack something like mine / resource taxes in the future . The point is the Pilbara region is neglected , and a harsh place for everybody. I lived there for years . Change has to happen some way!!

Why on earth would joea be a "fan of her bank balance"?
She's unlikely to be sharing it with him.
Just silly.
 
You dont think that Joea is a fan because of her extreme wealth ? What other reason do you think it is ?


Cant be for how she treats her family , I doubt he is that callous ?

Could be her fearlessness ? That can be a admirable trait ....

He is convinced that she has noble and honest intentions though and I cant work out how one comes to that conclusion.

Of course you can't. Such things are beyond the comprehension of a loony leftie. You seem so concerned about her family.:1luvu: If you have such tender feelings for them Cruncher, why don't you hive of some of your union funds and start a benefit for them. I'm sure your members won't mind getting ripped off.

Most of the posts from the left in this thread are all silly. No more than derogatory banter from people with nothing better to do, imo. Waste of time dropping in...
 
That Ellen Fanning story on how Lang Hangcok relentlessly attacked Premier Charles Court was an eyeopener. Well worth a read

Ellen is at pains to point out that Gina is nor an identikit of her father but it has always been clear she has followed his philosophy and practice very closely. All good reasons for Liberal and Labour politicians to be wary of the power Gina Rinehart will exercise in her control of any media she owns.

That all a vocal handful of you guys can do , cant add debate so label people luni leftys or some such nonsense ....

Public opinion is deadset against this woman - the vocal handful barrack for her as some defacto face for the extreme right that they hold so dear ? I dont knowdo explain ....
 

"I don't knowdo explain" Are you on the booze? And now basilio has joined your hate campaign. You are getting down in the gutter. You are running scared with nothing to offer but childish drivel and envious spite for someone who is considerable smarter than anyone your mob can muster. Grow up!
 
What I don't understand, is how come everyone gets up in arms because a person is buying into a newspaper. Yet the same people don't mind a minority government bringing in massive new taxes, without going to an election. It's just stupid.
The government say Gina might have some sway in how the government is portrayed, yet this same government only has 30% public support. That means 70% generally disagree with them, why wouldn't a newspaper reporting reflect that?
The general public make an informed decission on their political bias based on many inputs not just what they read. If anything labor have had a very good run from the media, when you take into consideration their abysmal record.
