Gina: Mythmaking – episode 7

Gina Rinehart’s father, Lang Hancock, a renowned iron ore industry pioneer, initially worked underground digging for asbestos rather than iron ore. His 1940s mining venture at Wittenoom, later sold to CSR and operational for two decades, led to a tragic exposure of thousands who lived or worked nearby due to asbestos. This dark chapter in their family history is now being selectively remembered by Gina’s family, blending personal narrative with historical facts.
