Gina Rinehart criticises ‘relentless attack’ on Ben Roberts-Smith and media ‘gloating’
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.
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.
