Australian Billionaire, Gina Rinehart criticised for 'jealous' poor remarks...
Mr Katter, an outspoken independent MP from north Queensland, joined a chorus of criticism across the country of Ms Rinehart’s claim that people jealous of the wealthy should "spend less time drinking or smoking and socialising”.
“[She] left out the bit about daddy being a major cattle station owner and the biggest mining magnate in Australia", Mr Katter said. “That "helps as well. She says here that the minimum average wage of $600 a week should be cut. This is coming from the world's richest woman.”
Mrs Rinehart, a mining heiress who capitalised on surging commodity prices and growing demand from China and India to build an iron ore empire worth an estimated £19 billion, wrote in her regular column in a resources magazine that Australia has lost its hard-working roots.
She was attacked by the Treasurer, Wayne Swan, as well as union leaders and business people.
A fellow outspoken mining tycoon, Clive Palmer, also said he disagreed with her views on how to become a millionaire.
