From an article about her speech:
"Rinehart gave a speech to the Sydney Mining Club, suggesting Australia would be better off if workers were paid they way they pay miners in Africa: “Africans want to work, and its workers are willing to work for less than $2 per day.”"
Because it's always best to make your country race to the bottom. She also wrote a poem that's on a plaque attached to a boulder somewhere in Australia. I think it proves she's a Vogon:
"Our Future
The globe is sadly groaning with debt, poverty and strife
And billions now are pleading to enjoy a better life
Their hope lies with resources buried deep within the earth
And the enterprise and capital which give each project worth
Is our future threatened with massive debts run up by political hacks
Who dig themselves out by unleashing rampant tax
The end result is sending Australian investment, growth and jobs offshore
This type of direction is harmful to our core
Some envious unthinking people have been conned
To think prosperity is created by waving a magic wand
Through such unfortunate ignorance, too much abuse is hurled
Against miners, workers and related industries who strive to build the world
Develop North Australia, embrace multiculturalism and welcome short term foreign workers to our shores
To benefit from the export of our minerals and ores
The world's poor need our resources: do not leave them to their fate
Our nation needs special economic zones and wiser government, before it is too late "
