    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.

  • Gresham Mining & Infrastructure Services Quarterly
    Gresham Mining & Infrastructure Services Quarterly We are pleased to present Edition 28 of the Gresham Mining & Infrastructure Services Quarterly (GMISQ), a snapshot of the performance, news and trends across the resources and infrastructure services sectors. The final quarter of 2020 saw a continued broad based share price recovery across the sector. The Gresham Mining & Infrastructure Services Index (GMISI) increased by 20% over the period, outpacing the 14% improvement in the All Ordinaries Index. Of the 50 GMISI constituents, 41 recorded share price increases, including 6 companies that gained more than 50%. Earnings multiples ticked up during the quarter, with the sector’s median PE ratio of 14.2x above its long term average, but still well below the broader market multiple. The observed strengthening of share prices and multiples reflects the industry’s improved earnings outlook, with analysts currently forecasting median annual EBITDA growth of 13% through to FY22. This is consistent with a range of new contract awards and renewals in recent months in both mining and infrastructure, and across construction and operations. Corporate activity has ramped up, led by the continued evolution of the contracting mining landscape with CIMIC’s sale of 50% of Thiess to Elliott and Maca’s purchase of Downer’s Mining West business. Other notable transactions included the IPOs of GenusPlus and Duratec in November. In this edition’s Quarterly Focus we also recap the equity market rollercoaster ride throughout 2020. After a promising start, valuations across the sector dropped significantly over February and March amidst uncertainty regarding the potential impact of COVID-19.

  • Our Founding Members
    Our Founding Members The members of the Saltbush Club are patriotic informed Australians with wide experience in industry, engineering, science, mining, agriculture, business, economics, meteorology, government, public service, environmental care, research, media and politics. They include graduates from top academic Universities and from the “University of Life”. They are independent thinkers with few corporate ties but with sufficient scientific knowledge and life experience to question political fads and slogans. They share a concern that the misguided war on hydro-carbon fuels will do even more harm than it has done already to our economy, our prosperity and our security, thus causing widespread damage to consumers, businesses and employment in Australia. And they are anxious to do something about it. The Founding Members of the Saltbush Club are shown below in alphabetic order. There are 313 of them now with more in the pipeline awaiting biographical details. There are also 33 International Members. In addition to this list, we have over 335 Supporting Members who have joined more recently and are prepared to have their names made public. Unfortunately, there is also a continuing trickle of members suffering threats to their business, employment or children once their membership of Saltbush becomes known in some circles. At their own request, these members are removed from the public lists and moved to the “Silent List”. This shows that Saltbush is feared and also shows how intolerant our opposition has become. This long list of “silent members” support Saltbush concerns, but fear adverse consequences for their jobs or businesses should their names be revealed.
