Australia’s richest person, Gina Rinehart, has donated a plane to Pauline Hanson, the leader of the country’s hard-right One Nation Party.
In a social media post on Wednesday, Hanson unveiled the plane and said it would enable her to visit more areas across the country as One Nation drums up support ahead of 2028 federal elections.
The brand new Cirrus G7 jet was gifted by a Rinehart-owned company, a spokesman for Rinehart’s Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd. told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
Hanson’s social media post also outlined A$2 million ($716,000) from four donors. This included A$500,000 each from Adam Giles, chief executive officer of Rinehart’s Hancock Agriculture and a former chief minister of the Northern Territory, and Ian Plimer, an executive director at Hancock Energy.
“We have a lot of additional fundraising to undertake between now and the cut off in December to combat the uni-party ahead of the 2028 federal election,” Hanson wrote on social media.
