Are you a noisy watermelon?

The Australian Financial Review today reported that Gina Rinehart called on people to “stand up to the noisy watermelons and the far-left”.

The Fin said “Mining billionaire Gina Rinehart has called out global resources giants, including her own company’s joint venture partner Rio Tinto, for sacrificing shareholder value in the pursuit of net zero emissions policies.”

What does she mean by that? In remote areas like the Pilbara the mining companies have been diversifying out of fossil fuels and into renewables, which are cheaper anyway. But Gina thinks the miners are giving into a green agenda associated with net zero. So she said she wanted more Australians to mobilise and pressure the government via letters, talkback radio or social media, to abandon emissions reduction policies, to lower power bills and reduce grocery prices [as if].

If you don’t agree with Gina you are a noisy watermelon and on the far-left! We suppose that includes the management of BHP, Rio and Fortescue.
