Andrew Forrest's may indeed be very upset that that Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan described him as "greedy and irresponsible".
These words were used to describe one the richest person in Australia since 2010 (net worth 6.9 billion), who acquires wealth from super profits on our common mineral wealth and yet, as the Financial Review pointed out in August 2010, "has never signed a corporate income tax cheque for any of the listed companies he has run in the past 16 years".
Perhaps Mr. Swan was being kind generous in his description. I can certainly think of some harsher words to describe such an individual.
