Gina Rinehart will celebrate Australia Day surrounded by her family in Washington DC before attending an exclusive evening honoring one of the country’s greatest sporting exports.

The billionaire tycoon has been in the US capital for the past week since traveling to the US to celebrate Donald Trump’s return to office and attend his inauguration last Monday.

The fiercely patriotic businesswoman said her family has a proud tradition of celebrating Australia Day and, although she would spend the national holiday abroad, she will celebrate the date with her loved ones.

He will then head to the Australian Embassy in the evening, where he will help praise the achievements of former professional golfer and fellow Trump fan Greg Norman ahead of his 70th birthday next month.

“Celebrating Australia Day is an important tradition across all Hancock businesses and subsidiaries,” Ms Rinehart told Daily Mail Australia.

‘It is a time to reflect on our past, celebrate our achievements and look to the future.

‘This year, many of our staff will join more than 120,000 Western Australians along the Swan River to enjoy a spectacular fireworks and drone show presented by Hancock Prospecting and the City of Perth to celebrate Australia Day.

“As for me, I’ll be celebrating with my family, surrounded by the Australian flag, before attending an Australian Embassy function in the US to honor the achievements of a Trump professional golfer, Greg Norman “.

The high-profile philanthropist, who privately spends millions of dollars sponsoring the country’s elite swim team, as well as the country’s beach and indoor volleyball, rowing and artistic swimming athletes, has long championed national unity and the pride that the country’s sports greats provide. .

Ms Rinehart said she would spend Australia Day reflecting on all the people who made the country great through sacrifice and hard work, along with the brave national service men and women who dedicate their lives to protecting it.

“On this Australia Day, we pause to honor the people who have helped build our nation,” he said.

‘Our pioneers who overcame great adversity, including my mother’s father, James Nicholas, who helped open up the East and then the West by expanding Cobb&Co services, building thousands of miles of roads and dozens of inns to allow the transport of people, equipment, gold, mail, water and supplies to the gold regions and our hinterland, making it possible to live and work there.

‘We think of Australia’s small business owners risking everything to build their businesses, our country’s largest private employers, many of whom are currently struggling with high costs and excessive government bureaucracy.

‘We thank all the major contributors to our standard of living, including the primary industries that make up the majority of our exports, and we invest in regional Australia, providing opportunities for local people that would not otherwise exist.

‘We must thank our Defense Forces for their commitment to keeping us safe. We will always be indebted to the veterans and those currently serving who have sacrificed so much to enable our privileges and freedom.’

Ms Rinehart also called on the government to urgently address the current cost of living crisis by proactively reducing taxes while offering greater support to pensioners, saying there is no better time than Australia Day to act in the best interests of of all Australians.

“I will also think of those struggling with the cost of living crisis and hope that our government will alleviate this crisis,” he said.

‘Not through donations, but by quickly removing fuel excise duty, which would help not only those who own cars, but also reduce the costs of goods and services that need to be transported or manufactured, thus helping all Australians.

‘This would be an incredibly positive announcement for all Australians struggling with the rising cost crisis, if the government decided to announce this relief on Australia Day.

‘And I will be thinking of the retirees, the veterans, the tertiary students and the marginally disabled, limited by bureaucracy to work as much as they want, trapped in the misery of poverty.

‘This tragedy for millions of Australians now struggling worse due to the cost of living crisis, should not continue.

‘On Australia Day, wouldn’t it be great if our government announced that there would no longer be any upper limit on how much retirees, veterans, tertiary students and the marginally disabled would work?

“No more forms to fill out for the privilege of working, no more bureaucratic procedures for reporting hours worked, just pay income tax on your income like the rest of Australians do.”

Finally, Ms Rinehart said she hoped everyone, from all walks of life, would have the opportunity to celebrate the incredible great land of the south on Sunday.

‘Wishing you all a happy, safe and proud Australia Day!’ she said.
