Not a conflict of interest at all. I work in the public service, and I can't even accept a cake as a gift.
Conflict of interest? Sounds like some rule for the poors! /j
We can't even eat cake!
and yet popular, even more popular.
Rinehart has strong links to those who use racism as trade craft
Gina and Pauline are little besties. Its more than a link with these two.
Fair enough, people gotta have their friends, be up front about it though Pauline, she's in the favour of likely Australia's most destructive oligarch, with all the wealth, access and 'gifts' that comes along with that.
Obligatory 'it's only got a right wing' joke.
Gina is so stingy. Make it a 747 or get out.
You know, I'm insulted for Pauline now! Two decades of friendship and this is all she gets!? Outrageous!
What a dinky ass biplane. Good thing Hanson has a pilot so together they can fill all its seats. What kind of anti-green statement is she making in an aircraft that can't possibly sip more than a liter of fuel to fly across the country? Can it reach Little St. James Island, the worldwide standard for fascist acceptance? Or will she just glide around from mine to mine hoping Gina remembered to pay an employee to put up a banner with her name on it so people will know who she is?
Veeeery budget version of Trump's jet gift from Qatar but the principle is pretty much the same.
It's got one propeller and the cabin space of a Corolla.
I'm surprised they didn't go for a hot air balloon. With the amount of hot air coming out their pie holes, they could saved a lot on fuel!
Oh well, might have to wait for Gina's next falling crumbs for that one hey? Poor Pauline.
