Mining magnate Gina Rinehart responds to Russia ban, says Australia ‘should be more determined to build up our defence’

“The terrible war in Ukraine is a stark reminder for Australians, that we should be more determined to build up our defence,” Ms Rinehart’s statement said. She said Australia should also be “more determined to be more self sufficient, including in what is needed for our defence, plus critical minerals and medicines”. “And not take measures to disrupt our industries, hospitals and homes, with measures that hamper production and make our fuel and electricity expensive and or unreliable,” Ms Rinehart said. “In my view, we should be rushing to cut government tape to make all this possible, and to make more investment and production possible as quickly as we can, to build up our revenue, so that we can defend ourselves.

Rinehart is among the latest to send a strong message in retaliation. She said she has visited Russia a number of times and has friends there but knows that speaking out against the war in Ukraine is more important.

Statement by Mrs Gina Rinehart AO | Sydney Morning Herald: Gina Rinehart, sanctioned by Putin, calls on Australia to ramp up defences

One of 121 people in Australia who have just been indefinitely banned from Russia by the Kremlin’s foreign ministry, Rinehart has released a statement calling for Australia to build up its defences.“Much as I have very nice Russian friends and enjoyed very much my two visits to St Petersburg, and would love to revisit, I would not wish to do so if not welcomed, or if I have concerns for my safety. If speaking out in the manner above means I can never visit Russia again in my lifetime, so be it,” she said.

Christening of the Watroba WHIMS Plant | Speech by Mrs Gina Rinehart AO

Today we honour another of my dearest friends, a pioneering leader of Roy Hill and fellow Hancock Board member. Tad Watroba has been by my side on the Roy Hill mega-project all the way through. We started from very humble beginnings, with very little money for exploration. With every member of Roy’s help, we can look back with pride as what we all have achieved together delivers thousands of jobs to Australians, billions of dollars to the nation’s economy and helps contribute towards maintaining the high living standards we in Australia are very fortunate to enjoy. In the hope spent well, our taxes contribute to our defence, police, looking after our vets, elderly, hospitals, emergencies, kindergartens and much more. I’m delighted and it is indeed my honour to announce the christening and naming of the Watroba Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separator Plant.

Chairman's greening initiatives benefit Mulga Downs Exploration Camp

CHAIRMAN’S GREENING INITIATIVES BENEFIT MULGA DOWNS EXPLORATION CAMP

Just 18 months on, the camp’s visual amenity now benefits from a range of greening measures which were initiatives of Hancock’s Executive Chairman Mrs Gina Rinehart AO.

Encourage retirees to remain in the workforce

Given our ageing population, over the next few decades Australia is set to lose billions of dollars’ worth of human intellectual capital as well as priceless wisdom that collectively diminishes from the workplace once workers vanish into the oblivion of retirement. Overall, we as a society need to change our view of retirement so those people who want to keep working to earn money to supplement their pension or superannuation are able to do so. Those who are willing and able to contribute in their industry should be encouraged to do so, not out of pity, but out of a desire to extract the rich knowledge that would otherwise be lost to society.
