Paris Olympics 2024: Gina Rinehart’s $3m bonus prize pool for Australian athletes

Australia’s Olympic hopefuls have been given a massive boost to go for gold in Paris next year with Australia’s most generous sports supporter Gina Rinehart tipping in an eye-watering $3 million incentive for the big winners. The patron of some of Australia’s most-loved and admired teams from both the Olympics and Paralympics – including swimmers, rowers, volleyball players and artistic swimmers. Rinehart already pours millions into helping these underfunded athletes chase their dreams.

SPECIAL REPORT | Bush Summit can bring policy energy, writes Gina Rinehart

Economically we increasingly struggle, given government policies which are not conducive to attracting investment – investment necessary to keep us internationally competitive, and to maintain our living standards, and to help combat welfare dependency in rural and remote regions. As I look across the vastness from our agricultural properties in the Kimberleys, I see the potential for the creation of jobs to give families and children a future in our north, jobs in industries that can help feed and clothe other Australians and our allies. What is required, though, are policies to help attract investment. It’s about letting people work, such as our patriotic veterans or senior Australians who are hampered by onerous red tape and only permitted to work several hours per week – if more, they face serious financial consequences. It’s about placing more defence facilities in our vulnerable north. Hopefully this Bush Summit can re-energise interest in our north, despite the obvious problem: 85 per cent of Australians, and 85 per cent of the voters, live in our cities.

Bush Summit can bring policy energy | Gina Rinehart AO | The West Australian

News Corp’s Bush Summit presents a welcome and much-needed opportunity to bring about focus on all the good things, the challenges and the opportunities that encompass regional Australia. With my family’s pioneering and agricultural background in regional and remote Australia going back to the mid-1800s in the Pilbara and back even before that, and more recently in mining, I’ve had the opportunity to share a very special history and many experiences in the Australian outback. It’s time to call for better policies for those who work and live in our bush. No longer do we want pollies to visit and say they love and appreciate us, but then deliver legislation that promises more hardships for us.

Bush Summit: The changing face of the Kimberley’s cattle industry

The red dirt and cattle country of the Kimberley has long been defined by its hard men and cowboys, yet it is women who are shaping the region’s future.For the past several years, the Fords have been living at Fossil Downs station, just east of Fitzroy Crossing, where their father, Rick Ford, is the station manager. Fossil Downs, owned by Gina Rinehart’s Hancock Agriculture since 2015, is one of Western Australia’s most historic stations. Its success – and the women who have made Fossil Downs such a powerhouse in the Kimberley – will be among the topics at WA’s first Bush Summit next Monday, hosted by The Australian and Hancock Prospecting.

Claims to Rinehart mining billions ‘absurd’

Rinehart’s Hancock Prospecting savages Lang’s ‘bombshell’ letter

Lawyers for Gina Rinehart’s Hancock Prospecting have savaged the 37-year-old bombshell letter a fellow mining dynasty hailed as proof the magnate knew she had to share her iron ore billions, branding it “peripheral” evidence made redundant by a subsequent deal. But Hancock Prospecting’s lawyer Noel Hutley rubbished the characterisation, insisting it was, at best, of the most “peripheral relevance”. “If anything, it supports our case to the extent it is even relevant and we embrace it,” he told the court.
