    1. Gina Rinehart $14.02billion from Resources Chairman – Hancock Prospecting Residence: Perth Wealth last year: $20.01b Rank last year: 1 A plunging iron ore price has made a big dent in Gina Rinehart’s wealth. But so vast are her mining assets that Rinehart, chairman of Hancock Prospecting, maintains her position as Australia’s richest person in 2015. Work is continuing on her $10billion Roy Hill project in Western Australia, although it has been hit by doubts over its short-term viability given falling commodity prices and safety issues. Rinehart is pressing ahead and expects the first shipment late in 2015. Most of her wealth comes from huge royalty cheques from Rio Tinto, which mines vast swaths of tenements pegged by Rinehart’s late father, Lang Hancock, in the 1950s and 1960s. Rinehart's wealth has been subject to a long running family dispute with a court ruling in May that eldest daughter Bianca should become head of the $5b family trust. 2. Anthony Pratt & Family $10.76billion from manufacturing and investment Executive Chairman – Visy Residence: Melbourne Wealth last year: $7.6billion Rank last year: 2 Anthony Pratt’s bet on a recovering United States economy is paying off. The value of his US-based Pratt Industries has surged this year thanks to an improving manufacturing sector and a lower Australian dollar. Pratt is also executive chairman of box maker and recycling business Visy, based in Melbourne. Visy is Australia’s largest private company by revenue and the biggest Australian-owned employer in the US. Pratt inherited the Visy leadership from his late father Richard in 2009, though the firm’s ownership is shared with sisters Heloise Waislitz and Fiona Geminder.

WE ARE ALL AUSTRALIAN: STRATHFIELD SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL AND WINDSOR HIGH SCHOOL FILM PROJECT TEXTILE 2007 Ms VIRGINIA JUDGE (Strathfield—Parliamentary Secretary) [1.02 p.m.]: This afternoon I inform the House of two recent important events that involved projects of students, with the great support of their hardworking teachers, support staff and families, in many cases from the electorate of Strathfield in Sydney's inner west. In collaboration with students from Windsor High School, students from Strathfield South High School produced a film entitled We Are All Australian, which was launched on Friday 15 February at Strathfield South High School. It was a thought-provoking short film focused on multiculturalism, stereotyping and racism. The aims of the project were to enable students to have a voice, to be active citizens, to build resilience, to meet role models and to produce an antiracism film. A kit was produced with the film and copies will be sent out to many schools in New South Wales.

  • Foreign Property Buyer Demand Falls Prompting Warning from Harry Triguboff
    Foreign property buyer demand falls prompting warning from Harry Triguboff Harry Triguboff said foreign buyer demand started to soften more than a year ago, but now the presales prices were getting "lower and lower". Brendan Esposito by Matthew Cranston Larry Schlesinger Government taxes and credit restrictions have started to hit foreign buyer demand for residential property so hard in Australia that major developers are either pulling out of the apartment market altogether or, like Meriton's Harry Triguboff, are left grappling with Chinese investors who can't settle on pre-sold apartments. The sharp drop in foreign buyers, detailed in the latest ANZ/Property Council of Australia survey of more than 1700 property professionals from across the whole industry, is expected to further push down prices, which have already fallen in Sydney during the December quarter by 2.1 per cent. "It's not bad, it's very bad," Mr Triguboff told The Australian Financial Review on Wednesday. "When we start saying that stamp duty for foreign buyers should be 12 per cent instead of 4 per cent, that is called stupid." Mr Triguboff said foreign buyer demand started to soften more than a year ago, but now the presales prices were getting "lower and lower". "Many of the Chinese can't settle. So now we have to resell them – there is another problem. "And everyone thought that the Australian buyer would come in when the prices started coming down – they haven't – I knew they wouldn't – it wouldn't make any sense if they did." The ANZ/PCA survey reveals that over the last three months, total residential property sales to foreigners have dropped in every state except South Australia.

This story begins in 1823, with Oxley, Stirling and Uniacke’s exploration of the coast south from Stradbroke Island to the Tweed River and the subsequent arrival of the region’s early British and European settlers and then the creation of a string of timber, farming, mining, and fishing communities from the Logan River in the north to Coolangatta in the south, and to Beechmont in the west.
