Gina Donates QLD To Musk

What North Queensland thinks of Rinehart's idea of giving islands to Musk for satellite launches

North Queensland business and tourism groups say "blue-sky thinking" is welcome after Gina Rinehart suggested Queensland should offer some of its islands to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk for satellite launches.

A tourism organisation says there could be challenges launching from the islands given environmental concerns.

A local aerospace company says it would welcome more investment in the Bowen spaceport.

Gina Rinehart snags $1.4b stake in SpaceX IPO

Australia’s richest person, Gina Rinehart, says her $1.4 billion bet on Elon Musk’s SpaceX reflects her confidence in the trillionaire founder and recognises the need for Western nations to lead the world in technology and innovation.

The billionaire mining magnate snagged a more-than-$US1 billion ($1.4 billion) stake in the sought-after SpaceX IPO, which last week soared almost 20 per cent on its sharemarket debut, valuing the aerospace company at $US2.1 trillion.

Say's the bloke who peddles false scientific data constantly.

A part of QLD is still Qld. And Gina doesn't own it, to give it away.

But a part or small speck of QLD is not all QLD as your title suggests.

Would you say my son bought Queensland when he bought a GC property? Perhaps Gina should ask his permission?

He didn't buy NSW.

Once Gina starts donating, so to financially profit/get a man's attention, there's no limit on how much she will hand over. Perhaps WA for Xi and Victoria for Putin.

Now that is really funny. Data is data nothing more. There is no such thing as false data. There is the wrongful application of statistics to data that can give a false result. Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin
