Jerry,

 

Once again you go off on a rant and show your inherent bias to Israel.

 

 

They're not rants, just long posts putting forward a lot of points that can't be squeezed into a one-liner like a lot of replies on the forum are. I've seen rants on this forum in the past but none with Jerry's signature. And to clear one thing up, I'm not defending Jerry because I'm pro Israel, I'm not. I'm not pro either side and personally couldn't give two hoots if both sides battled it out to the end, as long as they don't bring their hatred here to our country.

I am not shamed to say I am pro Israel. I admire their strength and tenacity in a region of evil and terror. I wish them complete success in defeating those who cry death to Israel.

Litespeed, just a suggestion, maybe tone down on the insults to posters you don't agree with and try posting on your position without playing the man. It's a bit disrespectful, and I've really noticed this forum getting quite toxic lately. Forumites can be polite and still disagree.

The Courier Mail has a Monopoly in Queensland. Such a situation should not be Permitted, anywhere. Nev

One of the few times you and I would agree Nev. The Courier Mail is a shocker. Go back 40 or 50 years ago and it was a fairly normal paper, but these days it's more like a trashy tabloid. One thing I'm not happy about is that almost all regional and local papers in Queensland are owned by Murdoch. That means you can't read them online without a subscription. In the google news feed for example, you might see a news headline from a different region and when you click on it, it's paywalled. I know media businesses have to make money, but getting a monopoly on local news can be a bit manipulative in my opinion.

Nothing has changed with control of the news for many centuries. Buy up all the cheap newspapers you can find, to ensure you get maximum control of the Press.

Gina Rinehart has suffered a legal blow, with a court ruling the family of her father's former business partner has the rights to royalties from her Hope Downs mine in WA's Pilbara. 

 

Justice Jennifer Smith found both Mrs Rinehart's company Hancock Prospecting and Rio Tinto were jointly liable for the royalties payments to Peter Wright's family's company, Wright Prospecting.

 

But Justice Smith dismissed claims from Wright Prospecting and two of Mrs Rinehart's children that they owned part of Hancock Prospecting's share of the Hope Downs mine.

 

Justice Jennifer Smith dismissed all claims, including by Mrs Rinehart's children and Mr Wright's descendants, to an ownership share in the Hope Downs iron ore mines and tenements, currently operated as a joint venture between Mrs Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting and Rio Tinto.

 

Justice Smith found both Hancock Prospecting and Rio Tinto were jointly liable for the royalties payments to Mr Wright's family's company, Wright Prospecting.
