How long do people have to make offers of compensation for, some will claim just once, but here we are in 2022 and many of us continue to compensate and apologise for atrocities conducted by our Grandparent's enemy in the WWI and WWII, it's absurd to think this ever ends with an apology!
Too many of the people involved in this debate long term have no interest in an apology, they aren't in it for an apology, and the claims of compensation will never end. If they were given ownership of everything, they'd send an invoice claiming ongoing maintenance!
Actions expose motives, words are meaningless.
Just like Bill Gates and his foundations, Twiggy Forest and his foundations, Gina Rinehart also does a lot of philanthropy, it's not just words, it's big dollars piled into community facilities like health centres, child care and learning, community refuges, mental health, etc., etc., etc.. You can bag those organisations for ravaging the environment, polluting the atmosphere, but you can't question the intent because they actually act while those around them only speak. They could easily just pay a bit of tax and build themselves a fresh mansion, but they don't they act, it's not just words it's actions!
The words published and spoken over the last few weeks vilifying Hancock and by association Rinehart are just that, very cheap words, political rocks thrown by socially active political apparatchiks. Who either don't have the money or won't put in to match the words they speak.
What is happening now is functionally a tantrum, biting the hand that feeds them and barking abuse hoping for more food, like a 2 year old in a supermarket isle!
It's the climate action equivalent of protesting against Gina for digging a fresh mine, while begging her to use the precious materials she finds to build a new solar farm!
