Why does she want people to hate her?

My the press like to take her out of context.

I don't think she's saying Australians should work for $2 a day, she's merely pointing out that they don't live in a vacuum. It's a global economy. All our telecommunications and many other jobs have all moved to Indian and the Philippians because it's much cheaper to hire people there. Most of our manufacturing industry has left our country to go to countries with cheap labour and poor regulations. It seems Australian has lost some great mining opportunities because it's not profitable enough to be there. So she's right to question it. However, she seriously needs to hire handers so she's not being crucified every week.

This is similar to what I was going to post.

The carbon tax this year hasn't helped the situation either. A lot of companies are now considering if they should follow those who have jumped ship already. Soon the only labour force we will have in this country is for infustructure building Major manufacturing will be dead withn 10 years unless  the government subsidises these industries. Then agian if we don't have money to build, those to will be unemployed.

They really need to go back to basics and work out how to bring our cost of living down by 2.3rds atleast.

The problem is that she thinks she's above the law. We could tell that when she was arranging to import workers who could work in her mines and not be subject to minimum wage laws. Other miners have to abide by it, so why does she think she doesn't have to? How about instead of trying to find shady ways around the rules, take a bit of a pay cut yourself. Did she think the gravy train of barely regulated mining was going to last forever?

Oh, and if she's so envious of African workers wages, nobody is stopping her from going to Africa and leaving the valuable minerals of Australia to the Australian people. You want our minerals, you play by the rules.



Wow. A Billionnaire wants the little people to be paid 2 dollars a a day! Stupid fat bitch. If she gets any fatter she risks her own company trying to open a mine on her huge ass!!

This has been RedInkers 1000th post! Give him some love.

That fat slob inherited billions from her father through the luck of being born into wealth and privilege. She has no right to tell people what to do. She is a completely out of touch super rich elite moron.

$2 per day too work all day in terrible conditions that are typical with mining? Get real. All that would do is enable her to make billions and billions more and create a third world country.

Super rich elitist outrageous comments can simply be dismissed for class warfare rhetoric. 



She's right. All the wealth of Australia should be reserved for the people who are smart enough to exploit the labour of the largest number of people. Seriously, why should you deserve a living wage if you can't dupe thousands of people to do all the hard work for you for vary little pay? Who needs sleep when you can pull 3*8 hour shifts and triple your take home pay to $6?

This bitch inherited her fathers legacy, she just got lucky. Also, in that last picture, I can totally see her bra....





The dream of these super rich elitists is to have all workers working as Peons in a third world nation and maximising the wealth and profits for the lucky few super rich elites. Mubarak, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Colonel Gadalfi and other tin pot dictators did a great job ruling over their third world countries.
