    She deserves worse portraits. $46bil from mining is comic book villainy. Thanos and his plight garners more sympathy, who incidentally, she looks a lot like.

      She’s almost asking for someone to put up a website & ask users to submit thier own Gina artwork.

      …or at least an Instagram page dedicated to this latest Streisand effect screeching

      That’s not accurate at all! The real Gina would be eating spiders with her lizard tongue.

    I’d say both artists did well to capture the essence of their subject.

    A real aussie would be honoured to have such a portrait

      What does munted translate to? The real government ads use the word frequently to describe your government

    Gina wants to pay workers like 20c an hour if she could

      No, no. Shes an incredible job builder and businesswoman. The odds of such a business mastermind being born to a mining magnate were very low, but she beat those odds. Nothing to do with the fortune of her birth.

    I want to see that portrait get posted whenever her name is mentioned.

    Well, if Australia’s sporting heroes say that these paintings shouldn’t be on display, who are we to argue?

      1. Gina is not a sport person
      2. Bullshit. If Warnie copped a derogatory portrait, he’d never be able to suppress it

        No, she got some swimmers to write in saying her portrait should be removed.
