Mining magnate Gina Rinehart says Australia needs to develop more mines if it wants to maintain its standard of living, warning of a $60 billion investment shortfall in the resources sector. Delivering a rare public speech at the Queensland Resources Media Club in Brisbane yesterday, Ms Rinehart said the miningr sector was responsible for helping Treasurer Jim Chalmers deliver the first surplus in 15 years. She also took aim at the federal government’s delayed approval process for new mines, as well as mooted industrial relations reform.
Gina Rinehart is absolutely correct to warn of the sovereign risk to investment (“ ‘No green energy projects without existing mining’, says Gina Rinehart”, 16/5), to our competitiveness and to our standard of living by governments that over-regulate, that introduce regulatory uncertainty and are anti – rather than pro – mining.

Mother’s Day may be celebrated in different countries, but you may like to know, in Cambodia it is celebrated on the same day in Australia.
Nationals Seniors Chief Advocate Ian Henschke says Labor “should have done more” in the federal budget to address the needs of seniors in Australia. “They should have done more with the call to let people work without such a penalty on their benefits,” Mr Henschke told Sky News Australia. “Because the pensioner, as you know at the moment, loses 50 cents in a dollar for about the second day’s work – that system has to change.”
It’s just prolific and there’s no sign of these types of scams decreasing in the near future. So, you know, Australia in 2021 lost about $2 billion to scams and in 2022 that went up to $3 billion. So it you know, the amount of scams happening and the amount of money that Australians are losing is just enormous.
The reason I’m calling is on Facebook. Every second or third ad is this Gina Rinehart. Um, invest in a share of a company and you get $15,000 a month or $20,000 or something or other. So generally, the scammers will use you know, celebrities to leverage the investment opportunity. So they’ll put fake reviews on there as well to make it look more legitimate.
Nationals Seniors Ian Henschke says the federal government should have a system that “attracts people and keeps” senior pensioners into the workforce. “What the government has to do is recognise that we’ve got to have a simpler system and a fairer system,” Mr Henschke told Saturday Herald Sun columnist Steve Price.
