KIDNAP and ransom cover is not something most Western Australian businesses ever need to worry about. However, it provided the inspiration for Anthony Moorhouse when he developed a new kind of insurance tailored for small and medium enterprises. The policy is designed to help businesses operating in the local market deal with crisis situations. Mr Moorhouse believes his company, Biz-Assist, is the first to cover this type of risk.
“Age-old problem needs future-proofing” is missing an important component in the worker shortage debate, the harsh treatment by the Federal Government of aged Australians and other pensioners who would otherwise like to continue working.Let’s look after our own better and remove the incomes test. Allow those pensioners who would like to, including veterans, contribute to the prosperity of us all. This initiative will assist with the current housing crisis and cost-of-living issues as well. | Dean Nalder

I listened intently to them as well as to Gina Rinehart who gave her views on what governments need to do to ensure we continue to enjoy the lifestyle we have grown accustomed to. My personal view is our governments need to listen to the Rinehart has to say. We need successful business leaders and philanthropists with common sense and a love of our country more than ever to give advice to our leaders.
$1.5 million dollars will be allocated annually and is in addition to the long-term direct athlete assistance payments and high-performance program support that each sport’s Patron, Mrs Gina Rinehart AO, through her business Hancock Prospecting already funds, aiding close to 150 athletes each year. Highest performing athletes can earn $20,000 for gold medals and $30,000 for world records. For swimmers who recently competed at the 2023 World Swimming Championships, this equals their prize money received from the governing body, World Aquatics, paid in Australian dollars. For para swimmers and rowers who do not receive prize money from their separate Governing bodies, the Patron’s Medal Achievement Incentive Fund is truly ground breaking.
Rubbish trucks are full of blind spots that can often lead to fatal crashes. For the first time in Perth they’ve been fitted out with technology that could save lives.
Gina Rinehart has offered a scathing assessment of the costs involved with achieving net zero at a regional summit, warning of the dire consequences for the agriculture industry. Ms Rinehart took aim at the handouts for “climate research and government advisers”, highlighting the angst she sees in the agriculture industry. “The type who have never successfully run a farm, a station, or other agriculture businesses,” she told the regional Queensland crowd. “I think we are also not looking at the costs involved with the agriculture industry.”
While business leaders and policymakers were converging in Perth on Monday for The Australian’s inaugural Bush Summit, more than 2000km away, in the state’s remote Kimberley region, pastoralist Chris Towne and a group of workers were battling to contain a massive fire sweeping across the plains of Gogo Station. Once again, the task of dealing with the blaze had fallen to Towne and his employees. And once again, there had not been any action taken against those suspected of starting the fires“If this was bushland outside Perth it would be front page news.” Towne’s experience in many ways encapsulates the sentiment expressed by many at the Bush Summit: that Western Australia’s regions feel forgotten and ignored.
Keynote speech with Gina Rinehart, Executive Chairman, Hancock Prospecting Group.
Hancock Prospecting executive chair Gina Rinehart says the costs to agriculture of achieving net-zero targets has the potential to increase food prices at the supermarket and force farming families off their land. Ms Rinehart, in her keynote speech at The Courier-Mail Bush Summit, also sounded the alarm on red tape associated with mining which she said could take “decades” to navigate.
