A Billionaire Gave a Political Party a $2 Million Plane

Australian mining billionaire Gina Rinehart gave a $2 million Cirrus light plane to Pauline Hanson’s party, One Nation. It is parked at Rockhampton airport and mostly flown by party manager James Ashby. Ashby says it is not for personal trips. The gift raises questions about her close ties to the party, ties its leaders have played down.
