  1. BHP, Rio Tinto launch two battery-electric haulers but 62 diesel-powered trucks wait in wings

    There is a dissonance to watching a hulking, 240-tonne piece of mining equipment trudge up a slope on…

  6. Excellent, informative, entertaining + satisfying read from billionaire buffoonery surgeon Joe Aston who asks the question "Why Aren't We Juukan-Gorging Twiggy Up The Wazoo?
    He's got a point.
    "The destruction of Juukan Gorge in May 2020 made Rio Tinto Australia’s most hated company. Its chairman and CEO were compelled to resign. That was over one sacred site. Yet Fortescue has destroyed more than a hundred of them!"

  10. @Qldaah What Adam Morton/The Guardian don't mention is that taxpayers subsidise fossil fuel at $8bn. Aside from mining, agriculture is also responsible. Who are the biggest landholding farmers in Australia?
    The QLD government, along with Gina Rinehart, Andrew Forrest, Murdoch + Holmes a Court families. Yes, climate200 support diesel for Australia's richest farmers + carbon credits via farms.

  15. When Andrew Forrest: - fails to pay taxes as a business and brags about it - has a philanthropic arm to avoid tax - pays around 0.8% of his personal wealth at best in tax Is a billionaire, so you can 100% pay money on failed projects. #AusPol #Fortescue #AndrewForrest

    Paul Cleary, author of “title fight” regarding the payout from billionaire Andrew Forrest to First Nations:
    That the amount of [economic] compensation should be in the order of $100,000 … is just extraordinary and obviously inherently unfair," he said.

    Fortescue declined requests for an interview.
    Because “how does it feel to be racist people + planet killing rorters?” does not make for good optics.

  18. Want to know what racism looks like in Australia?

    Billionaire Andrew Forrest built the Solomon mines without the agreement of the traditional owners, making over 80 billion. The Yindjibarndi traditional owners have been involved in a long, expensive legal case for years, resulting in a payout of $150 million. Fortescue received $300 million in taxpayer funded diesel subsidies last payout.

  21. What's in it for Andrew Forrest? He gets to play Climate Saviour whilst being Australia's 2nd largest polluter after Gina. If you go back, you'll find him with every PM Australia has. FYI, great summary below from first nations at #SantaMarta that nails the problem. #AndrewForrest

  22. @ninalakhani.bsky.social @[email protected] when billionaire Andrew Forrest who made his fortune from fossil fuelled colonialism is riding roughshod over indigenous rights and being sued by them, why is @[email protected] accepting his money? #SantaMarta #AndrewForrest

    Forrest backtracks on "filthy"...

  24. @akshatrathi.bsky.social How "Real Zero" is working out for Andrew Forrest: "one of the country‘s biggest polluters, with 2.64 million tonnes of scope 1 emissions, offset with an expected 240000 carbon credits worth 8.5 million." www.afr.com/companies/en... #AndrewForrest #Fortescue #AusPol

  26. RE: mastodon.social/@CelloMomOnCar

    Andrew Forrest has been "fast tracking" the elimination of fossil fuels since 2022. He has failed to do so. If anything, the opposite. He's a carbon billionaire.

    "AFR: "One of the country‘s biggest polluters, with 2.64M tonnes of scope 1 emissions, offset with an expected 240000 carbon credits worth 8.5M."

    How is Australia's Richest Man allowed to skim over the plain fact his fortune is the product of massive pollution?

    Incredible episode re: #billgates, which also applies to #AndrewForrest.
    "In 2013, he pledged at least 50% of his wealth to charity after joining the Giving Pledge campaign launched by US billionaires Bill Gates and Warren Buffett."
    bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia
    Has he received more money via the taxpayer funded diesel subsidy to FMG than what Minderoo, his foundation has spent?
    How can violating human rights be seen as a postive outcome?

  30. If you check the net worth of Andrew Forrest, if we took 30 billion in 2023 and gave it to the 37800 chronically homeless Australians, they'd have over $840,000 each. He'd still have billions. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_... #eattherich #AusPol #housing #AndrewForrest
