workers $2 a day a fair concept, let alone the richest person in the country advocating for it.
“If Gina Rinehart seriously thinks Australians should be competing with African workers who are
paid $2 day, then she has no idea about fairness or equality – the values on which Australia was
built,” Ms Kearney said.
“It’s time we stopped listening to people like Ms Rinehart, who continually shows she has no
interest in using her wealth to grow Australian jobs or support the local economy and now she
appears to be suggesting we should look to Africa for our future.
