Former chief minister of the Northern Territory Adam Giles will extend his term as chief executive officer of Gina Rinehart’s Hancock Agriculture and S. Kidman & Co. In a statement posted by Mr Giles, he confirmed he will stay on as CEO for at least the rest of this year. “After initially coming on in 2022 for a short eight-week stint as interim CEO at Hancock Agriculture and S. Kidman & Co., I have agreed to continue in the CEO’s role until early 2024,” he said.

Currently, only 3 per cent of pensioners work in Australia, compared to 25 per cent in New Zealand. This is not because pensioners in Australia do not want to work. Research has shown that around one in five want to work, but do not, because of unfair tax and red tape barriers.The solution is to follow New Zealand’s approach by removing all red tape on pensioners, students, and veterans. This would mean that these Australians could earn as much income as they would want, without losing their pension payments or welfare benefits. Of course, they would still pay income tax like every other Australian worker. Removing all red-tape and barriers for Australian pensioners, veterans, and students to get back into the workforce, without suffering significant financial penalties, is a simple and effective policy measure that is good for them and good for our nation. More Australians working means higher government revenue through income tax, GST, and payroll tax, which can be reinvested into infrastructure and used to pay down our debt.

Included in the lunch’s generous donations was a $60,000 cheque from S.Kidman & Co, presented on behalf of chairman Gina Rinehart by Kidman board member Loretta Leung and acting chief executive officer Adam Giles.
