Coal magnate Gina Rinehart controversially supports using nuclear explosions to mine iron. She has stated that Australian workers should take a wage cut to be more competitive with African workers who are on a salary of $2 a day. Because she doesn't like regulation, Rinehart is a secessionist.🧵1/6

Without hope for the secession of Western OZ, she has advocated for Australia being split into two zones and has infamously argued for more lenient immigration laws for the proposed northern zone, where her mines are located, in order to allow for less regulation and more "cheap foreign workers".2/6

Amid bumper mining profits in Australia, Rinehart has argued that national taxes on greenhouse gas emissions should be rolled back to make Australia more attractive to foreign investors. 3/6

In Rinehart's call for lower wages and increased immigration to insure lower wages, her concern doesn't appear to extend to how the long term effects of her mining practices impact Australians; like may of the uber rich her concern appears to be for her billions and for no one else. 4/6

IMO, Rinehart didn't get her way in Australia so she's hoping to impose her special views on Albertans and the wider population of Canada. Supporting foreign billionaires over Alberta ranchers and Alberta workers?5/6

We all know the kind of short term renters who though they may look good on paper; after agreeing to certain rental terms and paying their fees, by the time they leave the place is trashed and the owners are left with a massive bill they can't afford to pay. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli 6/6
