I for one welcome our wide and womanly mining magnate overlord with aplomb.


Seriously,

I'm impressed with what she has done. She has not just become the richest woman in the world but she increased her wealth in the quickest amount of time that anyone has ever. And that's a pretty big claim.

She lives around where I live, I went for a bike ride to see her Dad's old house. It's really nice what you can see of it. Has an untouched earthly charm.

Does anyone that work for Hancock Prospecting care to share what GIna Rineheart is really like? Otherwise you are all going to sit there and make her up. Make up your own little fantasies about the woman who has become richer than OPRAH when you really have no clue.

She definitely should invest all her wealth into giving every worker in WA a week's paid holiday. We can call it WAWEEK

oh yeah and I'm not a fan of the mining boom at all. The incredible wealth held in the hands of a few corporate heads is alienating to say the least.

I think just the fact that she is going through court action against her own children to prevent paying them the inheritance they were granted by the late Lang Hancock in his will, shows exactly what her character is like. She is clearly a very sour, selfish and arrogant woman who believes that she doesnt have to adhere to legal documents authorised by her own father and presumably a legitimate legal representative.

I mean seriously. She has more than enough wealth herself, now that she is officially the richest woman in the world, what could she possibly gain from preventing her own children from getting a piece of the pie, which in reality, is a drop in the ocean by comparison to her overall wealth

The best post on this topic so far.

I think Gina Reinhardt is on a power trip; she wont give here kids access to the trust fund because she doesn't want them to be empowered and independant; she wants to them reliant on her and unempowered so she can control them.
I think I read somewhere recently that she doesn't give a single cent to charity, despite her making 50 million each and every day.
She does nothing for the ordinary australian, just feathers her own nest and that of a few lucky people.
Do you ever see her sleeping on the street in a cardboard box in the annual CEO's annual winter sleepout in support of the homeless people?
No, because she just doesn't care.
Twiggy Forrest has a plan to employ and train a lot of indiginous impoverished people to work in his mines, Gina Reinhardt just wants to bypass Australians and import workers from overseas.
Maybe because she is fat and ugly she wants to have all this money and power over people.
Well guess what Gina? I'm on centrelink benefits but I have something that all your money will never buy you; I'm very good looking!! Ha ha ha..........

As for Gina Rinehart, I couldnt care less how much she has in her bank account. My personal dislike for her is purely out of her repeated and ongoing attempts to stop other members of her own family from getting what they are entitled to in accordance with her fathers wishes in his will, despite the fact that her father had lodged legal documentation well before his death, which states that a particular trust fund containing many many millions of dollars be passed onto, and distributed amongst his grandchildren at a designated point in time.

Many seem to have forgotten that ultimately, Gina Rinehart inherited her business from her father, when he passed away. Of course, she is well entitled to run that business now as she sees fit. However, she has a moral and legal obligation to honour the wishes of her father in accordance to his will. And yet she continues to clog up the court system in her greedy attempts to stop the next generation of Rineharts from recieving what they were allocated by Lang Hancock.

So basically your dislike for her is groundless... How is it that the situation with the Rinehart family affects you in ANY way? You don't know the ins and outs of that particular situation.

Not that I agreed with any of your post, but this just blew your argument out of the water...

Anything said before this is now irrelevant.

Gina would only scare the shit out of me if I was stuck on an island with her and there was one slice of pizza left.

Typical stockholm syndrome, you are identifying with the aggressor.
Weak little boy.
What can you say about someone who posted in another thread that he was pissing his pants because he drank alcohol once a week and so felt he should seek counselling?
You are a weak grovelling anal retentive little boy. Grow some balls.
Or at least live vicariously and get a big cock up you.

ps. I bet you fantasise about Tony Abbot in his budgie smugglers.
And I bet you still live with your mummy and she tells you what to wear each day.

Oh I have such fun on the internet when I have had a few little bevvies!

It doesn't affect me to be frank with you. I've worked hard on my own and built up a four property portfolio, invested in shares and while I'm no millionaire, I'm living comfortably and happy.

But the topic of discussion is centered around the apparent extreme levels of vitriol and hatred that is dished out against Gina.

I for one don't give two hoots if she is fat, ugly, or whatever people want to call her. My argument is simply that her actions against her own family and against her fathers plans for the families money, speaks volumes of her personality and concern for people other than herself.

Well if you live in sydney and you own four property's then you are definately a millionare darl; but anyway I shouldn't have made a personl attack on her vis a vis her appearance. But the rest stands. She is obviously on a power trip and she is doing nothing for the poor of this country.
People talk about the trickle down effect; you allow the rich to get even richer and then hopefully some of that money will trickle down to the poor, but it's been shown in practice that this doesn't happen.
If she cared about her fellow australians then she would implement training schemes to train the poor to get jobs in her mines, but she doesn't, she just wants to import foreign workers, to save even more money even though she has more than enough money to last her a lifetime.
It's not a christian approach.
People talk about Australia being the land of fair go and mateship, where everyone looks out for everyone else and tries to help them, but she is doing the exact opposite; she is a wannabe dictator.
Heil the Fuhrer Gina!

I'm sorry, I just loved this part. It completely destroyed your credibility as a critic, but it was hilarious .

^ Yes!

The Sydney Morning Herald has been important to this town for almost two centuries.

But it's been losing money for a decade. And their new woman editor has made it — for lack of a better word— 'womanish'. It has been indulging in silly spats against the Murdoch press and it vetoes stories which put the PC-bleaters in a bad light. And it's giving free reign to the increasingly-theatrical David Marr to clutch his pearls over every silly, inner-city latte issue.

I would have thought all the Herald staff would be glad that Rinehart is saving their jobs.

Murdoch is going down the tubes too.

gimmie a ride down dem slippery dips

I'd be guessing she wants to get rid of a fair few of the editorial staff. Plus they're already shedding staff and shipping it offshore so there's less and less jobs to actually save. I'd imagine she would continue that if she gained control over the company.
