Gina Rinehart has urged all Australians to take an interest in the nation’s future and become more politically active.
The country’s richest person, 70, said it was up to everyone to put pressure on politicians to improve living standards with policies that were openly “pro-Australia”.
“Australians should constantly question our governments: are their policies going to help our country improve or drag us down? Are their policies going to improve our standard of living or drag us down?” he said. The Australian.
“Will your policies improve our educational standards and not be anti-Australian or detrimental to our education? Will your policies contribute to our vital defence or harm it?”
He passionately defended the mining and agricultural sectors that have provided him with the bulk of his vast fortune.
She said “people forget that everything around us had to be mined or grown, from our cars and laptops to our clothes and medical equipment.”
“When mining is doing well, Australians are doing well,” he said.
‘Although I must add that when mining is not doing well, Australians are not doing well either.’
The country’s richest person, Gina Rinehart, has urged Australians to put pressure on politicians to implement policies that will boost living standards.
Ms Rinehart, chief executive of her company Hancock Prospecting, said it was unfortunate that many policies implemented at federal and state level “were working against us” and were not “in the best interests of Australians”.
She has previously frequently called for cutting government bureaucracy and taxes that she says strangle economic growth.
Recently, Ms Rinehart even claimed that China’s communist government was doing a better job than Australia’s because it was pursuing “reliable electricity production”, including building “many coal and nuclear power stations”.
He has also called on Australia to follow China’s lead and establish so-called special economic zones, particularly in northern Australia, where “government burdens” would be reduced to encourage investment.
Another problem has been what she calls “lowering educational standards” by adding progressive agendas, creating anxiety in students with climate-induced global extinction propaganda (and) teaching her students not to be proud of their country.
There was one politician, however, to whom Ms Rinehart gave a glowing report: federal opposition Indigenous Australians Minister Jacinta Nampijinpa Price.
Ms Rinehart said the Northern Territory senator, who led the successful “No” referendum campaign to reject the Indigenous Voice proposal to Parliament last year, was one of Australia’s “most influential people” of the past 60 years.

She said Senator Price had shown courage and leadership “in speaking out for the truth about marginalised Indigenous Australians, particularly women and children, and his courageous efforts to drive change to help them”.
Earlier this year, Ms Rinehart’s personal wealth was estimated at a staggering $50 billion, up from $37.1 billion last year.
The increase was largely due to the performance of its majority-owned Roy Hill iron ore mine in Western Australia’s Pilbara region, which posted a net profit of $2.7 billion in 2023.
Mrs. Rinehart also invests in agriculture through its Hancock Agriculture division, which in recent years has focused on producing high-value Wagyu beef, and owns vast tracts of land through its S. Kidman & Co. cattle stations.
Along with other high-end residential real estate holdings, Ms Rinehart recently purchased iconic Australian fashion brands Driza-Bone and Rossi Boots.
