Billionaire miner and investor Gina Rinehart wants Australians to keep their pressure up on politicians and says she uses only her influence to encourage policies which are clearly pro-Australia.
A climate trigger would put more than $220 billion worth of economic investment at risk, according to new research being used to pressure Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to explicitly rule out adding it to Labor’s shakeup of environmental laws.
Furious WA farmers have vowed to go to war against Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his Government in the fight to save the live sheep export industry.
Gina Rinehart said Australians are “truly fortunate to be able to enjoy the high quality of the agricultural products our farmers work so hard to produce.”
He says he only found out about the “nature-positive” plan a few weeks ago, even though he is chairman of four listed companies and has investments in all pockets of the country. Gina Rinehart’s Hancock is the other company brave enough to publicly raise the alarm bells – most businesses seem to be hiding behind the Business Council of Australia, lobbying on their behalf, or worried about political backlash.
The mining sector is up in arms about Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek’s “nature positive plan” with claims it will derail mining projects and halt the government’s own clean energy revolution. Ms Plibersek is seeking to push changes in Australia’s environment protection laws, as part of the government’s nature positive plan.
One of Gina Rinehart’s top lieutenants says the Albanese government’s so-called nature-positive laws pose a huge threat to farming and mining. Hancock Agriculture boss Adam Giles said the process “smelled” like a repeat of the shambolic Indigenous heritage legislation rolled out by West Australia’s Labor government last year.
We need policies that help Australians. We need policies that make investment in our country worthwhile. If we have any interest in maintaining our living standards we should be doing what other countries do and roll out the red carpet for investment. Expensive government-funded trade trips and trade personnel located overseas are a waste of money unless governments cut the costs and delays caused by government red tape. And Blind Freddie can see that the forcing the overburdened taxpayer to fund lawfare does nothing to encourage investment.
Federal opposition leader told audience at Roy Hill mine that parents and teachers should instruct children about benefits of mining. In a speech at Hancock Prospecting’s Roy Hill mine in November last year, Dutton repeatedly thanked those working in resources. He described the work carried out at the mine as a “national treasure”.

Mining magnate Gina Rinehart continues on her mission to preserve and rejuvenate classic Aussie clothing brands by snapping up Rossi Boots. Following its purchase of Driza-Bone, Mrs Rinehart’s company S. Kidman & Co has bought the 100-year-old footwear manufacturer for an undisclosed price as part of its ‘commitment to preserving iconic national brands’.
