I think that's what got them where they are .
I just remembered the wedding three coalition party MP"S attended with Gina Rinehart .Julie Bishop,
Teressa Gambaro and Barnaby Joyce attended the OS wedding of the Granddaughter of Gina's business partner.
Gina was about to clinch a deal with - G.V. Krishna Reddy, the founder of GVK, one of India's largest energy and infrastructure companies.

So much red tape may be cut ...otherwise with type of trade agreements going on we could be being sued for big bucks in the same way Philip Morris is trying to do due to our plain package of cigarettes

DY, do you wonder at all why there is a "register" for all to see, and standing orders apropos voting in a division where a direct pecuniary interest might be involved?
Monman, the Pecuniary Interest Regiister is only as good as the information supplied by the interested parties. More telling is the deliberate omissions by those interested parties which have been exposed from time to time,....., not only by them but those of their close familly members.

LL: "the so called environment minister definitely has a major conflict of interest there"
LL: ".....but greg is minister for the environment. mining and environment don't mix well, its a definite conflict ,..."
So called??.
However LL , DY, et al, I would be interested if you could indicate what shares Hunt holds that could possibly be a conflict of interest, and why?
DY: "I'm in a generous mood and felt like sharing it here John" So kind of you DY, but be generous with facts also.
DY: "He is the man that gave permission for Australias largest coal mine." You mean this one DY? :
"Gina Rinehart's multi-billion-dollar Alpha coal mine and rail project in central Queensland has been granted Federal Government approval"
Oh gosh approval was given in Aug 2012, now 2 big questions: who was in power then?, and who was Tony Burke?

final approval was given by hunt last week.

LL: "final approval was given by hunt last week."
Yes LL, but not for the coal mine which DY erroneously commented: "He is the man that gave permission for Australias largest coal mine." That was actually Tony Burke.
Hunt has only given the green light to the capital dredging program at Abbot Point, the Adani T0 project at Abbot Point, the Arrow Liquefied Natural Gas Facility on Curtis Island and the Arrow Gas Transmission Pipeline to Curtis Island.
Research and facts underwrite a post/thread/author, a lack of them undermines all.
