jealous of the wealthy.

AUSTRALIA'S richest person, Gina Rinehart, has issued
a stern rebuke to those jealous of the wealthy: start
working harder and cut down on drinking, smoking and
socialising.

The controversial mining magnate also attacks Australia's
"class warfare" and insists it is billionaires such as
herself who are doing more than anyone to help the poor
by investing their money and creating jobs. Mrs Rinehart
also suggests the government should lower the minimum
wage of $606.40 per week and cut taxes to stimulate
employment.

In her regular column in Australian Resources and Investment
magazine, she warns that Australia risks heading down the
same path as European economies ruined by "socialist"
policies, high taxes and excessive regulation.

Mrs Rinehart, publisher Fairfax Media's biggest shareholder,
takes a shot at the media for failing to scrutinise
"socialist" policies and for publishing stories that
celebrate environmental protesters.

She says Australia must return to its roots by
encouraging people to invest and build.

"There is no monopoly on becoming a millionaire,"
writes Mrs Rinehart, who has built a $20 billion-plus
mining empire since inheriting lucrative tenements
from her father, Lang Hancock, in 1992.

"If you're jealous of those with more money, don't just
sit there and complain. Do something to make more money
yourself - spend less time drinking or smoking and
socialising, and more time working.

"Become one of those people who work hard, invest and
build, and at the same time create employment and
opportunities for others."

Mrs Rinehart claims anti-business policies hurt the
poor and the young more than the wealthy. "The terrible
millionaires and billionaires can often invest in other
countries," she says. "And if they do suffer, what does
that really mean? Maybe that their teenagers don't get
the cars they wanted, or a better beach house, or maybe
the holiday to Europe is cut.

"No, those who hurt the most when investments are killed
off by taxes, green tape and socialist policies that are
not friendly to business or conducive to investment are
those who usually vote for the anti-business socialist
parties. And for them, the price is very high. It's a
ob lost, when they have few savings, a mortgage to meet
and children to clothe and feed.

"The millionaires and billionaires who choose to invest
in Australia are actually those who most help the poor
and our young."

Mrs Rinehart's latest tirade comes as she attempts to
secure up to $7bn in debt funding to develop one of
Australia's biggest iron ore projects, Roy Hill, in
Western Australia's Pilbara region. But the iron ore
price has slumped to less than $US100 a tonne, casting
some doubt over her plans to formally approve the
project by early next year.

Mrs Rinehart last week attempted - and failed - to sell
a 5 per cent stake in Fairfax after the company unveiled
a massive $2.732bn loss.

The magnate's Hancock Prospecting holds a 14.9 per cent
stake in the publishing company.
