And how exactly is she supposed to do that?

Someone went digging for the comment made 40 yrs ago by Laing Hancock.

All those players weren't even born.

What should have been considered is that Aboriginals in WA have benefitted through royalties & employment opportunities in the Iron ore industry pioneered by Laing Hancock.

Now there are other iron ore mining companies operating & doing likewise for Aboriginals like FMG & Twiggy Forrest.

The woman(& I don't like her for other reasons) is not responsible for the thoughts/sins of her father.

Hancock's words....


Those that have been assimilated into, you know, earning good living or earning wages amongst the civilised areas, those that have been accepted into society and they have accepted society and can handle society, I’d leave them well alone,” he told a news broadcast.

“The ones that are no good to themselves and can’t accept things, the half-castes — and this is where most of the trouble comes — I would dope the water up so that they were sterile and would breed themselves out in future and that would solve the problem.”


The mayor at the time...

The do-gooders came along, these bureaucrats and the rest of them, who write great theses on things down south about problems in the north, and they decided that they better go and civilise these savages of ours,” the mayor said in the clip.

“So they brought them into the towns, threw them in amongst the people, and they close their eyes and shut their eyes to the problems that confront the white population



Clinton Wolfe, director of indigenous times said recently of Reinhardt.

negativity towards the Netball Australia sponsorship was “hypocritical”.   
Mr Wolf, who is a non-executive director of Indigenous children’s charity Madalah, said Ms Rineheart and the Roy Hill Community Foundation had come through with a “multi-year, multimillion-dollar funding arrangement” after the WA government refused.

“Madalah is proud to say that Mrs Gina Rinehart’s companies are among Madalah’s most important sponsors and supporters,” he wrote.

“The Roy Hill Community Foundation’s Hanrine Futures Program funded by the Hancock Group of companies will provide long-term scholarships as well as training, work experience and internships through to employment.

Did Madalah agonise over partnering with Mrs Rinehart and her companies, absolutely not. Many of the students who were provided scholarships are traditional owners of land on which mining activities are taking place and it is their families and communities urging the students to take advantage of the opportunity of a lifetime.”

Mr Wolf said there had been “much criticism” of Ms Rineheart because Lang Hancock was her father.

“Since when do we judge someone because of who their parents are or were or what they said?” he wrote.

“In spite of the negative headlines, Madalah’s experience has been that Mrs Rinehart is a kind and generous person who genuinely cares about Madalah and its Indigenous students.

“Mrs Rinehart should be applauded for her generous sponsorship of Netball Australia, Madalah and a host of other very worthy causes that desperately need financial support which she supports without fanfare.

“While others have criticised her from the sidelines, she does deeds with a good heart. Actions always speak louder than words.”





Just to be clear.
