The guy is a (former) trillionaire.

Fucking make him pay for it at least God damn.

Rinehart, who spoke after being introduced by Pauline Hanson, also said the land could be provided to skilled Israelis and their families to build “advanced war drones, and or other advances in defence, and or improve upon their Israeli style domes, and manufacture them here to sell to our country to help make our people and critical infrastructure safe”.

I guess she love genocide as much as her father.

That clip always astounds me when I see it. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree in that family, disgusting. The whole idea that just because someone is rich they deserve to be listened to on matters of policy 🙄

We should give the US Gina for free but keep all the assets and wealth here.

It'd improve both nations.

I suggest that instead, we use the islands to launch Gina and Elon into space.

Islands, you say?

busted_Anoose@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 33d

finally an island he is invited to! Imagine how much of a loser you have to be to be denied entry to pedo island.

Quick someone who has it share that artwork of her that triggers her. Or how I call it her actual picture.

Found it:

He'll put one island aside for "other" reasons.

mthomson@forum.macaque.social · 4 pts · 33d

No we want nothing to do with him. We don't support fascists here!

Seagoon_@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 33d

No.

Don't even sell to Elon.

Sorry to be a bit off topic but I down voted this article not because it's not worthy of reading but because I think the idea of giving (no less) Australian islands to Musk is despicable. Not land that she owns but land that belongs to the nation.

Is there some sort of protocol about what to do when you like that someone put up the article but you disagree with the headline? I don't know if other people may have the same quandary.

I feel like you should upvote it to give it visibility, then speak your mind in the comments. Downvoting should be for trolls posts and such or as reddit says where you don't think the article should see the light of day

Thank you. That makes a lot of sense.

I agree only if part of the deal is to blockade it and shoot anything trying to leave.

Australians says Gina should f*** right off!!!
