Isn’t he part of those big companies? Someone please enlighten me !

'And if it's going to cost them a bit more so they don't destroy the kids, why don't you go find out if they're prepared to do that?' consumers are concurrently workers and their wages are growing fast enough unlike some CEOs bonuses

He's still trying to come to terms of being regarded as being a small insignificant piece of growth - a twig. He wants to be seen as a large fullsome thick appendage so as to woo a naive Auntie to succumb his perceived importance and prowess. He is playing the Left and he has won

Fool some of the people some time........

Wealth makes you prideful.

Hypocrite

Why is the ABC listening to this clown?

So him. He is destroying the planet

Lolz..all somebody else's fault hey?

Why are you letting Andrew Forrest use the ABC to bullshit to the entire country & run a personal PR campaign with public funds?

Coke is disgusting even without the plastic.

He's starting to tell it like it is. He knows where the bodies are buried

Andrew has built his wealth by selling ore to China for almost 20 yrs but he had the nerve to say that ordinary people are destroying the planet. Why doesn’t the ABC ask him why he doesn’t immediately stop selling iron ore to the Chinese steel mills if he cares about the planet

Well said.

No Australian in history has caused more environmental damage than Twiggy.

And big companies fund foundations like Mindaroo that force governments to punish & destroy the lives of the least fortunate. CashlessDebitCard

Makes sense it's the people who are drilling everywhere, cutting down trees nothing to do with any company whatsoever. Furthermore it's people who are mining too. Companies aren't doing anything. They don't apply for licences to drill or mine anywhere

That’s rather rich from Forrest who has done his more than his fair share of planetary destruction in the Pilbara, PNG, and now the Clarke Creek & Mt Fox wind farms. Destruction of carbon sequestering ecosystems to make him even more $$$.

Andrew Forrest owns a big company that is destroying the planet.

*owns big company that trades exclusively with forcey country
