Ruddiger Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 http://dailycurrant.com/2013/05/28/gina-rinehart-calls-for-sterilization-of-the-poor/This is a satirical article, sure to create a few waves though. I have already seen a few posts on social media from people not realising Daily Currant is a satirical site. The article does have echoes of her dad too! 1
Sir Triode Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 She is the one that should be sterilised - that fat ugly B*tch. 2
Upfront Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 It's a comment that can only come from someone who was GIVEN a fortune.
Upfront Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) It's a comment that can only come from someone who was GIVEN a fortune. And that could only come from someone who doesn't have one!!! Edited May 30, 2013 by Upfront 1
Ruddiger Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 I have often wondered how history will remember people like Gina and Twiggy. Will it be as industrialists who brought riches to Australia, or as fat cats who sought personal wealth at any cost. I hope to god, mostly in Gina's case, it is the latter. Otherwise it suggests a scary future.
rocky500 Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 I doubt Gina would want to sterise the poor. Who else is she going to get to work the mines for $2 a day. 3

ZEN MISTER Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Did anyone actually open the link, of this obviously satirical article. Perhaps it was the misleading title of the post that led to some readers thinking Ms Hancock actually said this. She does need to be accountable for what she does say, but not for words attributed to her in the name of satire. In fact, the post header strays close to being legally risky. I do not approve of most things Ms. Hancock says and does, but fair is fair. it is also meretricious to attack someones' personal appearance, and use derogatory language as has been done here. It is beneath us. ZM. 6
Ruddiger Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 In fact, the post header strays close to being legally risky While the title of the post was cheeky, i hardly think it legally risky. This is a satirical article, sure to create a few waves though. I have already seen a few posts on social media from people not realising Daily Currant is a satirical site I even established in my 1st sentence it was a satire, and even pointed out some ppl on social media had missed this point. But yes the fact that the article was satirical does seem to have been ignored a tad in the thread, however she has actually said enough in the past to attract negative comments.

And I would not describe her as fat , just portly!

Super Mustud Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 You beat me to it. I have to admit I am not a fan of Ms Hancock but it is a bit much to criticise her something she has not said. And I would not describe her as fat , just portly! Perhaps generously portly. With a bit of sherry chucked in as well.
