| Summary |
An Australian Story classic revisited. The court case involving Australia's richest person and three of her four children has shed uncomfortable daylight on the feuding among the heirs to the Hancock mining billions. The dispute is complex but, at its centre, is a trust set up in l988, by Gina Rinehart's father, Lang Hancock, for the benefit of his grandchildren.Mrs Rinehart rarely consents to interviews and, as her wealth and influence have grown, so has her apparent aversion to media coverage of her personal life. However, in 1997, with her son John, she did agree to an Australian Story profile which provided family insights that may be as relevant today as they were at that time |
