A mining magnate, family mutiny and a security
'threat' from Dubai. Sound like a script from a Hollywood
action movie? Well, it's not but we think it's just as
exciting.
Here's what's happened since
our last update.
In a bid to obtain a suppression order over details of a family
trust battle, Gina Rinehart faced the NSW Supreme Court with
concerns for the safety of herself and her family. Part of this
attempt involved allegations of a specific threat against Mrs
Rinehart made by an unknown man in Dubai who, after being followed
for a while, mysteriously vanished into a crowded marketplace.
Unsurprisingly, he was never seen again. It comes as even less of a
surprise that this supposed threat was dismissed for lacking
credibility and probative value.
