A bitter scrap between two of Australia's richest men has spilled over, after mining magnate Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest accused fellow WA billionaire Kerry Stokes of abusing his media power to pursue his commercial mining interests.
The federal government has been asked to intervene in the public brawl, with Mr Forrest's Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) requesting Communications Minister Michelle Rowland examine the matter, including whether it raises questions about media diversity.
