Now why they ask people like Gina Rinehart to present a ‘defence and economic blueprint’ is anyone’s guess.

      She obviously means for the government to just subside on the existing mining royalties, while also abolishing certain taxes, the act of which will surely help pay for all her lofty fantasies.

        True, true, but has no one considered sacrificing her to the gods for times of plenty?

      She has the kind of hyper-narcissism that only feudalism, monarchy, or vulture capitalist “democracy” could produce.

      The only difference between her and some karen bogan born in bumsfuckville is a billion dollar inheritance, and the bogans existence is objectively better for society.

    What an odious woman.

    If she’s so concerned about people in poverty I have a few ideas… but that’s just a smokescreen for wanting things that will bolster her own wealth and further her agenda.

    Same reason the press report what Elon Musk thinks about the state of society. If you’re rich, you must be smart, therefore your every brainfart is golden

      Seriously, shame on the opportunistic people who bothered giving her a platform.

    Rinehart called for the reintroduction of compulsory national service for “all biological men … under, say, 53” with voluntary service for “biological women”.
