#AndrewForrest has much to answer for:
What I would also like to hear from Andrew Forrest is how the company could accumulate vast swathes of indigenous lands for its mining operations
While Fortesue is Australia’s 3rd largest tax payer, I’m disgusted with the fossil fuel industries in Australia who have been paying lobbyists to avoid tax while Fortescue has been paying tax - and more than 8% dividends to shareholders

#AndrewForrest has much to answer for:
That's from 2 years ago. What's progressive about a think tank that champions a billionaire who doesn't pay their taxes, who funded racism + punching down on the poor via compulsory income management?
That's what they're doing:

The existence of billionaires - a tiny minority of parasites amassing obscene wealth from the exploitation of workers - is propaganda enough for socialism, but even better when they actually open their mouths.
