Candidate "inaccurate" - Rinehart

In a story published in the Warrnambool Weekly on Friday, August 14, headed ‘Teen hopes to make history,’ Victorian Socialists candidate Hera Sheppard stated without contest that Gina Rinehart was “pushing for Australian workers to work for $2 a day.”

This was inaccurate.

Rinehart’s previous comments referred to African workers being willing to work for less than $2 a day, in the context of Australia’s international competitiveness.
