For those punters among TBV members if you ever want to back a winner Self Interest is always worth having a wager. Take Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest, the billionaire mining magnate from WA who this month suggested the coronavirus may not have originated in China but in Australia or Britain.This is the same bloke that brought the Chinese Consul to gate crash a media conference he made together with Greg Hunt, the Health Minister, supposedly to announce that the billionaire had secured 10 million coronavirus test kits from a "business contact " in China.
From my recollection Forrest is a major shareholder of Fortescue Metals Group through his private company, The Metal Group.which possess three times the tenements of its nearest rival in Western Australia's iron ore belt in the rich Pilbara region of WA and exports millions of tons of iron ore to China. Nothing like protecting your backside |

Don't want the Chinese switching to Brazil to supply iron ore, we are sunk if that happens. But I don't think they operate on anything other than commercial considerations.

With Twiggy, that old song lyric comes to mind, "look after business, Mr Businessman". That's the way they get where they do.

Apparently that plane load of coronavirus test kits imported by Forrest earlier this week may have been made up of those Australia gave to China earlier this year AND that same aircraft was back-loaded with a plane full of Australian baby formula. Can you believe that ?
