Forrest is a mining billionaire who has increased his inherited fortune at the expense of Aboriginal traditional owners while posing as their saviour. Recently his company has invested in gas mining, which he's calling "green" so he can pose as some climate hero. Now he seeks to profit from Ukraine war reconstruction while posing as their saviour.
There will be money to be made in reconstruction either way, he's just getting in early. Once the war is over and nobody's looking, he'll squeeze Ukraine while it's vulnerable. Same as he's always done in negotiations with Aboriginal traditional owners who he claims to help. Nothing to do with "Twiggy" or any other Australian mining magnate is ever uplifting. Just look him up.

And let's use the right word. Andrew Forrest is an oligarch, just like Gina and Rupert.

Is this not straight out of the Chinese play book ?
- Offer struggling country buildings/infrastructure etc
- Sit back and play nice
- Wait until they need that thing and squeeze them for profit ???
