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.
I'm an engineer, far more logical than most others here.
"Australians to get first pick of mining jobs"
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
Her poetry is beyond parody:
Our nation needs special economic zones and wiser government, before it is too late
Burns would be happy with the following head
line "Foreigners to get first pick of mining jobs"
Are you an Australian? If you are, you have a very poor attitude towards your fellow Australians.even though Aussies are first in line I don't think enough of them will bother applying, as they would rather whinge than work.
otherwise foreign workers would not be required
Good on Gina.
Turned a ~$70 million dollar inheritence in a few billion (with the help of a Rio Tino JV - Hope Downs)
What she does in her private life, is well, her private life.
I think that people are just jealous. Simple as that.
Are you an Australian? If you are, you have a very poor attitude towards your fellow Australians.
Burns, do you understand the concept of "the thin edge of the wedge"?
Are they really required, that is the core issue. I maintain there is never a shortage of anything, only a shortage at a particular price.
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.
That's true, cartoonists would be out of a job if they couldn't make fun of people's physical appearance. However, no one is going to take you seriously (by 'you' I don't mean you personally but 'you' in general) if you simply resort to making comments about people's appearances to back up your argument and that applies to other politicians, commentators, posters on forums etc. Shows like Q&A are not are comedy shows and are not an appropriate place to make a gratuitous joke about someone's appearance ( I was also disappointed with Germaine Greer's comments about Julia Gillard).
It was you that brought it up! I refer to your opening post. If you want a serious discussion about Gina Rhinehart why start it with a quote (bolded by you) that mentions her being fat and ugly?
LOL. Would you take a wage cut then?
Are they really required? When you have billions on the line and contracts in place to supply a product with massive financial penalties if you don't deliver on-time, then YES, you would want to build the mine as fast as possible.
Should a tradie doing FIFO work be on ~$165k++ a year??? While a metro tradie be on ~$70k?1) There is a massive shortage of skilled workers. Demand and supply. Rio/BHP/FMG and other mining companies just keep upping the wages to attract workers. Meanwhile, workers in the Eastern States are clutching at straws for work. We've all seen companies closing down/retrenching workers left-right-and-centre. What's that saying??? "You can lead a horse to water...."
2) Some people don't actually want to do FIFO work. I've been to a few sites in WA and literally seen people hop off the plane in the Pilbara and say, 'F**k this, put me back on the next flight' - And that is no BS.
3) Doing FIFO work can put pressure on families. At a guess, when l did FIFO, 'more than national average' of relationships broke up/did not work out in the long term.
That really doesnt fit in a thread that is partially discussing Gina giving away thousands of our job just because she has a permit to mine our minerals.
This same person supports some dodgy northern economic exclusion zone that will shaft Australia even more.
BILLIONAIRE mining magnate Andrew Forrest has celebrated his Australian Employment Covenant (AEC) finding 10,000 jobs for Aboriginal people by taking a swipe at the federal government's record on indigenous employment.
New figures from employers who signed with the AEC founded by Mr Forrest show that 10,501 indigenous Australians were now off welfare and working, the AEC said in a statement.

Libs vow to back Twiggy on 'real' jobs
DB: 1) There is a massive shortage of skilled workers. Demand and supply. Rio/BHP/FMG and other mining companies just keep upping the wages to attract workers
The only jobs going are for Mystery shoppers or Uni Grads such as geologists etc.
IF BHP and others shares prices is declining there has to be a declining market therefore no expansion.
THE plan to import 1700 semi-skilled workers to help build Gina Rinehart's Roy Hill Mine has exposed discontent among many in the community who feel the mining boom is someone else's boom, not theirs.
If we are to spread the benefits of the boom, workers willing and able to accept jobs in the mining industry must be assured a fair go.
My office has been inundated by people giving examples of highly skilled and semi-skilled workers who have applied for jobs in the mining industry being rejected with little or no explanation.
These are qualified people from the Hunter Valley, Illawarra, Sydney, the Latrobe Valley, Tasmania and even from Western Australia who are willing and able to take a job in the Pilbara. Mining companies haven't even had the common courtesy to acknowledge receipt of their job applications.
We must have a clear and unequivocal position on this: If Australian workers are being denied employment on mine construction sites then companies should not have a licence to engage overseas workers.
Plenty more evidence of this rort surfacing - dont really have to look far.

Evidence surfacing?. The article was written by the extremely left biased ALP Senator Doug Cameron a fortnight ago.
