Vatican accuses Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest of exploiting Pope Francis over anti-slavery campaign - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) via kwout

John Andrew Henry Forrest (born 1961), better known as Andrew Forrest or by his nickname Twiggy Forrest, is a Western Australian mining magnate currently a non-executive chairman and previously the chief executive officer of Fortescue Metals Group (FMG).^[5]
With an assessed net worth of A$2.83 billion in 2015, Forrest is ranked within the top ten richest Australians according to the BRW magazine;^[2] having been the richest person in Australia during 2008.^[6][7] In 2013, Forrest and his wife, Nicola, were the first Australians to pledge half their wealth to charity whilst living.^[8]

Forrest was born in Perth, Western Australia, the youngest of three children of Donald and Judith Forrest.^[9] He is the great-great nephew of John Forrest, the first premier of Western Australia.^[10] His great-grandfather, David Forrest, was the manager and (with brothers John and Alexander, and Septimus Burt^[11][12][13]) part-owner of Minderoo Station. Forrest's early years were spent as a jackaroo at Mindaroo Station, in the Pilbara.^[14][15] Minderoo was owned by the Forrest family until it was sold in 1998 by Donald^[16] due to relentless drought and debt,^[9] but was bought back by Forrest in 2009.^[17][18]
Forrest was educated at Onslow Primary School,^[9] before moving back to Perth to attend Christ Church Grammar School and then Hale School.^[19] As a child, he stuttered,^[9] which is how he came to develop a relationship with Ian Black, whose father Scotty Black, an Aboriginal,^[20] became Forrest's mentor. Forrest attended the University of Western Australia^[21] where he studied a double major in economics and politics.^[22]

Career

Anaconda Nickel

After graduating, he worked as a stockbroker at the brokerage houses Kirke Securities and Jacksons. In his early 30s, he became the founding CEO of Anaconda Nickel (now Minara Resources), which has since grown to be one of Australia's single largest mineral exporters with its Murrin Murrin Joint Venture nickel project.

Fortescue Metals

In 2003, he took control of Allied Mining and Processing and renamed it Fortescue Metals Group.^[23] He is still a major shareholder of FMG, through his private company, The Metal Group.^[24] Since then, the company has grown to possess three times the tenements of its nearest rival in Western Australia's iron ore rich Pilbara region. Fortescue holds major deposits at Mount Nicholas, Christmas Creek, Cloudbreak, and Tongolo. In 2007, he took control of a Niagara Mining, which owns tenements around Laverton, Western Australia.^[25] He was nominated as the 2011 Western region Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year.^[26]
The Australian Securities and Investment Commission took legal action against FMG and Forrest. Although an initial ruling by Justice John Gilmour^[27] in 2009 found Forrest hadn't acted in a misleading or deceptive manner,^[28] Chief Justice Patrick Keane and judges Arthur Emmett and Raymond Finkelstein of the Federal Court of Australia^[29] overturned this decision in 2011, finding that FMG and its Chairman and CEO, Andrew Forrest, had engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct and breached the continuous disclosure provisions in the Corporations Act, 2001 (Cth),^[30] by claiming to have binding contracts with China.^[28] The court found that a Chinese framework agreement does not amount to a binding contract, in the natural meaning of the word.^[31] If found to have breached director's duties, Forrest faces the possibility of being banned as a director of an ASIC-listed company.^[32] FMG appealed against the decision,^[33] and in October 2012, the High Court found in favour of FMG and Forrest, reversing the decision of the full bench of the Federal Court and agreeing with the original 2009 decision by Justice Gilmour.^[34]
Forrest described the Gillard Government proposed Minerals Resource Rent Tax as "economic vandalism"^[35] and a "mad dog's breakfast"^[36] that would drive up foreign resource ownership.^[37] He stated he would challenge it in the High Court as being unconstitutional, as it discriminates against states, and fails to appropriately capture big producers BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto.^[38] WA premier Colin Barnett has stated the state government would back constitutional action,^[36] admitting the tax had been suggested to him as a "sovereign risk". He was highly critical of the government's expenditure of $38M on an advertising campaign, that was not approved using the usual processes, as it had to "counter mining industry 'spin' about the resources super profits tax".^[9] The treasurer Wayne Swan says the big miners will pay at least A$2 billion tax, and wrote to the head of BDO Accounting, who modelled the claims Forrest used, noting they were "utterly unrealistic" and riddled with errors.^[39] Treasury concurred that they would be unable to release the assumptions underpinning its forecasts, as they were based on confidential information provided by the big miners.^[39] Gillard struck a deal with BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Xstrata to develop the MRRT after the failed mining tax under Rudd.^[40] Independent MP Andrew Wilkie requested the government take Forrest's mining tax grievance to heart.^[36]

Cattle industry

After buying back the family property, Minderoo Station in 2009 Forrest acquired the adjoining properties, Nanutarra and Uaroo Stations in 2014. Forrest's total pastoral holdings in the Pilbara is now 7,300 square kilometres (2,819 sq mi).^[41]
Meat processing company Harvey Beef was acquired by Forrest in 2014 for A$40 million. The company is the biggest exporter of beef in Western Australia and the only one accredited to export to China.^[42]

BioMD

In June 2011, Allied Medical, of which Forrest owns 46%, was acquired by BioMD for over $20 million.^[43]

Wealth rankings

Forrest appeared on the top of the BRW Rich 200 in 2008, with a net worth of A$9.41 billion.^[44] In subsequent years, his wealth has halved, in spite of the rapid growth of those with interests in the Australian resources sector.^[45][46]
