Dr Forrest, 60, revealed his ordeal in an exclusive interview with theafter spending much of 2020 travelling the globe in pursuit of renewable energy projects for his Fortescue Metals Group.Trevor Collens
Australia’s richest man said he caught the disease from a Russian interpreter after she joined the Fortescue travel crew for a four-month tour covering 47 countries.Advertisementreported no other crew members tested positive, and as a precautionary measure, Dr Forrest was evacuated to a Swiss hospital where he spent three days in a specialist respiratory clinic.
“I’m grateful that our apparatus, systems technologies and precautions kept my team safe,” Dr Forrest said. “I would rather have not caught COVID but it hasn’t harmed me. I’m still as fit as a fiddle but the big thing is that it enabled us to put together a suite of assets to create a supply of renewable fuels and products which could rival the fossil-fuel sector.""There is a period with COVID between the seventh and tenth days that if anything is going to go wrong it will happen then, so as a precautionary measure I went to a respiratory specialist unit in Switzerland," he said.
Dr Forrest has also been granted multiple exemptions to travel, both internationally and interstate during the pandemic, including six interstate trips while WA's hard border was in place.Save
So he's just a person...one who obviously didn't wash his hands enough or wear mask.
KatieMouse71 Who on earth writes crap like this & thinks fair minded intelligent people care enough to want to read it? ThisisNotJournalism
KatieMouse71 6 exemptions for interstate trips from WA- couldn’t he just Zoom or do a phone conference? Clive Palmer won’t be happy
Only state of the art treatment appropriate for king Twiggy of WA.
When did he become “Dr“ Forest ?
AnthonyCole68 And why do we care unless he broke COVID-19 quarantine news!
Nice one. Well deserved 👍
I've never heard him called ‘Doctor’ before....after a sickening, pointless 2 minute read, it's now 6 times. What a pathetic, nothing article, unless it was to highlight how you can do anything you damn well like if you have the money.
Evacuated to a Swiss specialist respiratory clinic.. standard treatment fur billionaires, i guess.
Paints a black and white picture that intelligence is not required to make money. Further proof is that he will go to his grave believing he has worked for everything he has, instead of it being due to simple dumb luck....
Oh no.
Dr Indue Card.
Dr Forrest?
I don’t really want to know about Twiggy Forrest’s five star covid treatment...the tax payer would ultimately cover his Rolls Royce escapades through his business structure . Better he just zoomed like everyone else and not be a nuisance. TwiggyForrest Auspol
Where did he quarantine? Was it a special exemption private *arrangement* somewhere in the Northern Beaches area?
So zoom is so last century according to this nob!
Billionaires think Covid19 only for the poor
It pays you to be rich
Craig Kelly has some tips for him
Northern beaches cluster perhaps 🤔
So this is the secret patient zero in the northern beaches? Poorly detailed article
Haha good.
Maybe the billionaire buffoon could ask his mate Long Zhou to jump in and help
Struggling with my schadenfreude
Quite a few details missing from that story.
Better quarantine his payments
Just another rich mining magnate pulling Morrison’s strings
Behind that smiling face is 1 slippery dude

AnthonyCole68 Globetrotting tour during a pandemic? He could have stayed home and asked simonahac and a few others, I am sure they would have helped him find a few ventures in the renewable field.
MSMWatchdog2013 And no mask
Cry me a Fortescue river. He was globe trotting in the middle of a fucking pandemic. What did he think he was going to contract? Idiot. FFS
He should ask his mater Clive for a dose of hydroxychloroquine
Was he in Northern Beaches early December?
Isn’t Twiggy the bravest of Aussies, a real figure of fairness and having a go. To inherit all that wealth and gold dinner set for 400 and then tough it out on magazine covers, just brilliant. Showing the depth of caring and empathy for his own troubles while forgetting others.
Erm, OK. So did he then isolate etc? Kind of leaving us hanging there.
Didn't he use any of the Chinese masks he so generously (and publicly) donated?
And !
MORRISON continues to allow billionaires to come and go as they please on there private jets.
awwwwwww. and how many, and who, has he shared it with
Onya Twiggy
