Chanticleer | Soul Patts’ Millner rails against secretive new laws
He says he only found out about the “nature-positive” plan a few weeks ago, even though he is chairman of four listed companies and has investments in all pockets of the country. Gina Rinehart’s Hancock is the other company brave enough to publicly raise the alarm bells – most businesses seem to be hiding behind the Business Council of Australia, lobbying on their behalf, or worried about political backlash.
Big result for farmers doing it tough thanks to Gina Rinehart
Farmers impacted by natural disasters has benefited big time from the generous support of donors, who have kicked in well over $250,000 for the bush charity Rural Aid.

Miners fury over laws for ‘nature’
The mining sector is up in arms about Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek’s “nature positive plan” with claims it will derail mining projects and halt the government’s own clean energy revolution. Ms Plibersek is seeking to push changes in Australia’s environment protection laws, as part of the government’s nature positive plan.
Rinehart boss blasts Labor’s ‘nature-positive’ agenda
One of Gina Rinehart’s top lieutenants says the Albanese government’s so-called nature-positive laws pose a huge threat to farming and mining.

The Albanese government is hiding many dark environmental secrets
The national accounts released last week reflect the considerable contribution Australia’s mining sector makes to our economy. While overall economic growth in Australia slowed to 0.2 per cent in the December quarter, the mining industry continued to grow, with its gross value increasing by 1 per cent, according to ABS data. This was largely driven by a 1.9 per cent increase in Australia’s production of iron ore in the quarter.
Labor’s Secret Tax on Living Costs.
You’d be used to the phrase ‘red tape’. This is ‘green tape’ to the max! Major new projects and development will be ground to a halt or be forced just to pay up. It’ll mean more lawyers, more court challenges, more power to the opponents – in the end a minefield of new regulations and rules to make every step towards getting things done tougher. Probably why most of this being kept hushed.
NEW pink mining equipment on the way to Roy Hill
In FY23 Roy Hill put more than $1.6 billion into the WA economy through the purchase of goods and services, that’s in addition to billions in wages, royalties, taxes, and license fees, and is pleased to have been able to further its investment in the south-west of the state. And no celebration would be complete without scones with homemade jam by Bunbury Farmers Market and award-winning double cream from Bannister Downs Dairy, and of course, Australia’s best pies – Kidman Pies!
