In a timely announcement given the many WA families struggling with food stress, our Executive Chairman, Mrs Gina Rinehart AO, has announced additional support for Foodbank WA through Hancock Prospecting’s ownership interest in Bannister Downs Dairy.

A new weekly fresh milk delivery will be provided to Foodbank WA’s Centre for Hunger Relief at Perth Airport and distributed to all branches across the state. It builds on more than 10 years of support Bannister Downs has provided to Foodbank WA through their south-west operations.

Roy Hill also partners with Foodbank WA to provide emergency relief hampers to Pilbara Families.

Mrs Rinehart said: “Hancock companies operate throughout West Australia and are more than just a company name. We are very proud of the quality of the Bannister Dairy, and other agriculture we produce. However, as Foodbank WA CEO Kate O’Hara clearly says, with each interest rate rise, more and more people are finding it difficult to cope, so more than our milk is of course needed. In these difficult times with costs escalating, it will help many Australians if government burdens, be they fuel tax, licence fees, stamp tax, payroll tax or others were dropped.”
