What is your opinion of Australian mining magnate Lang Hancock? His political ideas sounds awful, so HP.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lang_Hancock

Some standard "least government is the best government" stuff, but also:

Supported Westen Australian secession.

Wanted the Australian government to ban foreign support to subversive environmental organizations, such as Friends of the Earth!

Supported ultrareactionary and corrupt Queensland Premier Johannes "Sir Joh" Bjelke-Petersen.

"Nothing should be sacred from mining whether it's your ground, my ground, the blackfellow’s ground or anybody else’s. So the question of Aboriginal land rights and things of this nature shouldn't exist."

So no real respect for private property if it didn't benefit himself and no respect for aborigines.

Even in favour of forced sterilization of aborigines!

"In a 1984 television interview Hancock suggested forcing unemployed indigenous Australians − specifically "the ones that are no good to themselves and who can't accept things, the half-castes" − to collect their welfare cheques from a central location: "And when they had gravitated there, I would dope the water up so that they were sterile and would breed themselves out in the future, and that would solve the problem."
