The Supreme Court of New South Wales on 25 June 2014 heard that Ginia Rinehart was nominating three candidates for the role of trustee of the family trust at the heart of the legal action. It has been launched by her two eldest siblings against her mother, mining heiress Gina Rinehart. The latter has in the past had sole control of the $A4bn trust, which owns 23.4% of the Hancock Prospecting company. One of the three nominees is Stephen Harvey of Equity Trustees, cross-examined by barrister Christopher Withers about the ties between the Rineharts and Jeff Kennett. The ex-Victorian premier sits on the firm’s board
