One Nation Yesterday
Let’s pull the Bandaid on the plane donation.
Gina Rinehart donated a prop plane to One Nation. It wasn’t a cost to tax payers, nor will it ever cost them for maintenance or fuel.
Meanwhile, The federal government confirmed a $450 million purchase of two new Boeing 737 business jets in May 2024, which will have maintenance and fuel costs absorbed by the taxpayer.
Let’s look at the donations side of things.
Labor was given donations totalling $161 million last year. That's the equivalent of a plane every fortnight.
Major Donors were:
Mining and Energy Union ($3.3M),
Pratt Holdings ($2M),
United Workers Union ($1.2M),
and party fundraising arm SA Progressive Business ($1.4M).
Key Corporate and Industry Donors (2025):
Fossil Fuel/Mining: Over $1.06 million came from the fossil fuel industry, including
Adani/Bravus Mining,
Hancock Prospecting,
and INPEX.
Gambling/Alcohol:
Sportsbet,
Tabcorp,
and The Lottery Corporation donated, with Endeavour Group
and Lion contributing.
Property/Services:
Fox Group ($500k),
Australian Capital Equity ($300k),
and the Pharmacy Guild of Australia ($27.5k to WA branch).
Finance/Consulting:
Macquarie Group,
Westpac,
Commonwealth Bank,
and firms KPMG and Deloitte.
Other:
DoorDash ($92.5k)
and Coinbase Australia ($100k to NSW Labor).
So hidden away in there is a donation from Hancock Mining, which is Gina Rinehart. I didn’t hear anybody complain.
Who whined when Pratt Industries donated $2M to Labor?
Who asked about conflict of interest when unions donated millions?
LNP dwarfed Labor. They received gifts of $221 million in 2025. That’s the equivalent of a plane every 10 days. You really have to ask yourself, “What for?”
They were mostly crossing the floor to stand with Labor.
One Nations bills to protect women’s spaces and investigate Covid mismanagement were defeated by a Labor/ LNP coalition.
Labor and LNP are gorging on donations and the public purse.
One Nation is trying to Make Australia Great Again. And the support in the Fire the Liar campaign indicates that it’s going to happen despite the BS thrown at them.
