    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.

  • Just Group Sues to Halt CFO Nicole Peck Defection to Cotton on the AUSTRALIAN
    01/10/2018 Just Group sues to halt CFO Nicole Peck defection to Cotton On THE AUSTRALIAN Just Group sues to halt CFO Nicole Peck defection to Cotton On By BEN BUTLER, BUSINESS REPORTER 12:00AM JULY 7, 2016 • H COMMENTS Solomon Lew’s Just Group has launched legal action in a bid to stymie the defection of chief financial officer Nicole Peck to retail rival Cotton On. In a lawsuit filed with the Victorian Supreme Court, Just accuses Ms Peck of breach of contract, including a confidentiality clause, and seeks to prevent her taking up the Cotton On job for two years. Ms Peck lasted less than five months as head of Just, a subsidiary of Mr Lew’s listed Premier Investments that controls retail brands such as womenswear chain Dotti, pyjama group Peter Alexander and stationer Smiggle. She quit in May. Just also sought an order forbidding her being represented by law firm Ashurst, which has in the past acted for Cotton On, because of a “a real and sensible risk of inadvertent disclosure of commercially sensitive and confidential information by Ashurst to Cotton On”. The company also raised the possibility Cotton On might be paying Ms Peck’s legal costs. However, in a judgment on Friday, judge Andrew Keogh found Ashurst does not currently act for Cotton On. In a rebuke to Just, Justice Keogh said a subpoena issued by the company seeking information about the case from Ashurst “clearly represents a fishing expedition, and has no legitimate identifiable forensic purpose”. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/just-group-sues-to-halt-cfo-nicole-peck-defection-to-cotton-on/news-story/cd99edf8a38d5e9c774a115950a… 1/2 01/10/2018 Just Group sues to halt CFO Nicole Peck defection to Cotton On “There is no evidence to establish the probability that Ashurst will in future act for Cotton On, or that any confidential information obtained by Ashurst in the conduct of the current proceeding will be directly relevant to a future retainer with Cotton On,” he said.

In addition to working with clients, Coriolis regularly produces reports on current industry topics. Recent reports have included an analysis of Retail Globalization: Who’s Winning” and answering the question: “Will selling groceries over the internet ever work?” The lead researcher on this report was Tim Morris, one of the founding partners of Coriolis Research.

The coriolis force, named for French physicist Gaspard Coriolis (1792-1843), may be seen on a large scale in the movement of winds and ocean currents on the rotating earth. It dominates weather patterns, producing the counterclockwise flow observed around low-pressure zones in the Northern Hemisphere and the clockwise flow around such zones in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the result of a centripetal force on a mass moving with a velocity radially outward in a rotating plane.
