Gina Rinehart, what a champion. She wants the commonwealth gov to reduce fuel excise. To help the poor public, she says. Not mentioning the millions that she would save on fuel for her own fleet of private jets, mining machines and 4WDs. What a champion. Of self-interest.
Next day, Basil Zempilas discovers that Rinehart has "contributed more than $60 million" to Aus paralympics. Discovers thanks to a Rinehart PR flunky.
I wonder how $60 million compares with the profit if Rinehart gets the fuel levy reduced.
Though I do appreciate that Rinehart is generous. It's the equivalent of you or me dropping a dollar coin into a charity box: absolute chicken-feed. Though you can bet that all of Rinehart's contributions are tax deductible.
