Australian mining heiress Gina Rinehart is a major stockholder in the struggling Fairfax Media newspaper publishing group. She owns 14.99% via her Hancock Prospecting business, but has been rebuffed in efforts to also gain a board position. Insiders claim that she may be contemplating a move to above 20% and possibly a complete takeover, in order to secure control over how the company is run. Newly installed directors would then remove current chair Roger Corbett and CEO Greg Hywood. Ex-Victorian premier Jeff Kennett says he has been asked by Rinehart whether he would serve on the board, but declined
