Get a grip SCM, Rinehart is carrying this country along with the other miners and dopey Swan and Gillard are living off her efforts.
If it wasn't her, it would be someone else. She herself has done nothing unique to employ those people, whoever owns the land with the iron and coal would have employed them regardless. She has done nothing special or anything that someone else wouldn't.
Except of course importing foreign labour.
Oh okey, so employing Australians how counts as welfare, yep sure that makes perfect sense.

More like destroying the country. Thanks to them our dollar is par with the US and our economy uncompetitive.
Again, they are doing nothing special. They do not invent anything, design anything, they do nothing unique or anything that someone else can't do. There's no reason not to nationalise the entire mining industry - it's so easy to dig stuff out of the ground that even the government can't screw that up.
Sorry pal you're not making a lot of sense.
The bitter battle between Gina Rinehart and her three eldest children has escalated, with Australia's richest person threatening to withdraw the ''ransom insurance policy'' she holds for the family unless they agree to keep details of legal action private.

In a statement issued on Friday, Mr Hancock said he and his sisters remained highly concerned about the safety of themselves and their young children.
''I can support my wife and children in a modest manner from the work I do, but I can't provide the level of funds required to deal with security issues - real or imagined - associated with being the son of a woman worth more than $20billion,'' he said.
''When my mother buys a few hundred million dollars worth of Fairfax, it's going to draw some attention.
''But she won't share a penny to help protect her grandchildren from the risks she - the trustee of our family trust - is creating by her own actions.''

The four adult children of Australia’s richest person, Gina Rinehart, may not receive their multibillion-dollar inheritance for 56 years, after their mother secretly extended the expiry date of a family trust.
Mrs Rinehart also threatened to “bankrupt” her children last year, while claiming they enjoyed a privileged existence of “water views”, private jets and “endless holiday travels”.
This whole thread and some the posts that are attached is nothing more than disgusting.
What is it with some of you ASF members?
Gina Rhinehart has been a successful woman. So what?
Are some of you jealous of her achievments or are you just mentally sick?
Joe, please remove this thread. It makes me want to throw up. It is so nauseating having to read such dribble.
Not sure what there isn't to understand. Two simple facts;
1. Mining industry is causing forex speculators to push our currency to much higher valuations than it deserves, destroying every single export-facing industry.
2. People who own mining companies like Rinehart and Palmer do not do anything special, and they have not done anything anyone else isn't capable of. In Rinehart's case, she got lucky with her inheritance - she hasn't actually done anything herself. Regardless of who is in charge, ore will always be dug up and sold, no mining executive has every done anything substantial.
There is one other thing I forgot to mention earlier - in regards to why Gillard and Swan would allow the importation of foreign labour. Another good reason is to import more people to prop up the failing housing bubble, and it's a pretty big one.

I think this forum should be returned to a place much more pleasant and interesting as it once was otherwise the best contributors may not hang around.

Completely untrue, one prominent Russian businessman even ran for president against Putin. Last time I checked he hasn't been rounded up and thrown into the slammer.
There is no need to shout, mate.
Who is "Our".
There is when people have absolutely no clue, yet pretend they do. "Ooh herp derp you all hate gina because she's richer than you" - yeh, no - that has nothing to do with it, so stop that propaganda nonsense, and stop these worthless attempts at trying to take the discussion off-topic.
"We" simply refers to the people who take an issue with Rinehart because of her importing of foreign labour to steal Aussie jobs.
My impression of this brouha, was that Gina was importing 2000 or so workers, with critical skills in to critical jobs, who she could not source in Australia.
This would provide a surge in her mines, which would provide more jobs of a lower skill rate suitable for Australians with those lower skills.
What critical skills? Last I heard there are tens of thousands of construction workers losing their job all over the country due to the housing bubble - the very same jobs she allegedly can't get enough labour for.
Mate,
You have never had to employ people for a project.
There are people there, but they live in Welfare states like SA, NSW. Vic. and TAS, and prefer to go to the footy of a Saturday, rather than work.
