Mrs. Gina Rinehart
Mining is the largest earner of export income generating more than $200 billion in much needed revenue for our country, a country in record debt.
It provides jobs directly and indirectly for Australians including in places where there would otherwise not be work – and mining indirectly employs many people in so many important related businesses.
Take it away, and Australia would be a very different place.
For an industry that delivers so much, wouldn’t you think that there would be just a little more understanding and less negativity for what mining contributes to our country?
