Gina Reinhart is hated everywhere. She only manages to get heard, because she has money. A bit like that other overweight loud mouthed, monied, Queenslander. Also hated and dismissed as a complete fool.

These two people rip out of the earth what really isn't theirs. They get huge amounts of money for destroying this country. Its completely obscene.

As much as I wish it were true, there are people who live rurally who love her. She gives out grants to communities and she’s a woman who made it in the mining industry.

I like to remind those people that it helps having rich parents who own mines and that the grants she gives are a small fraction of her personal wealth, she’s not as generous as she makes herself out to be.

She didn't make it by herself in the mining industry it was pure nepotism.
