why are people reporting and posting about that twat
no one gives a shit what she thinks
Whether we like it or not, she is one of the most powerful woman in Australian.
She controls a significant amount of Australia’s natural ressources. She inherited that tax-free.
Because of Australia’s Campaign Finance Law, she is allowed to wire massive amounts of money to political parties :
To move around, the leader of the opposition used her own private jet
So yes, what she thinks is, unfortunately, very important. Not all citizens are equal.
Whether we like it or not, she is one of the most powerful woman in Australian.
No thats just gravity pulling things in around her. thats not power.
I disagree.
During a campaign, ok - her political alignment is relevant in so far as who she’s donating to.
Otherwise her statements of opinion on political matters are not at all relevant and I don’t see the value in reporting it.
It might get clicks but does that mean it should be reported?
Threw a lot of money into a losing party and paid to ferry around a guy who lost his own seat
Rich, yes. Influential beyond bought and paid for yes men, clearly not
It’s a loss for the guardian to be parroting trumpette’s opinion.
“Billionaire has a shit take on situation.” isn’t exactly cutting edge journalism.
The general public can always use more reminders that billionaires are terrible people who stole their wealth from the people who produced it.
Yeah, guardian have been going hard on Gina with that pidcast of theirs as well. Didn’t listen to it but it must have a fair bit of background to ‘her’ fortune in it.
Middle-income tech nerd criticises Gina Rinehart for:
- Being completely out of touch with Australians.
- Constantly releasing media statements on issues like we should care what she thinks (and the media for publishing them).
- Being on the wrong side of history on just about every topic.
- Her awful poetry. Seriously, mine is better and I don’t write poetry.
- Complaining that paying people in Australia more money than she pays workers in African nations is an issue, while choosing to live in Australia and being a parasite on us.
- For defending a dude who did do some amazing heroic stuff as well as well as committing war crimes, domestic abuse, bullying and generally being a jerk.
Is she the one what threw a shit fit about her portrait in an indigenous art exhibit?
Art is great.
I want the artist to make tshirts and I can buy them. Is that a thing?
I’ll take any defence force being in a weaker position to commit war crimes any day of the fucking week. Cheers, Gina.
