One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has been gifted a plane by Australia's richest person, Gina Rinehart, as well as $1 million in donations from the billionaire's friends.
“Yes, it was donated.”
“Yes, I’m super happy.”
“Yes, it’s fast.”
“Yes, it’s amazing.”
“Yes, it means I can visit more regional towns across the country more often.”
Senator Hanson described the aircraft – a Cirrus G7 that can retail for as much $1.5m – as “sexy” and said she would not be doing “welcome to country each time she lands anywhere in Australia.
She thanked stockbrokers and “patriotic Australians” Angus and Sarah Aitken for their “enormous” $1m “investment”.
Senator Hanson said Adam Giles and geologist Ian Plimer, the latter who claims climate models focus too much on the impact of carbon dioxide, donated $500,000 each – both men are employed by mining magnate Gina Rinehart.
“Their faith and investment in One Nation are an enormous help towards our next federal campaign, and I can’t thank them enough,” she said.
Senator Hanson has faced criticism in the past over her repeated use of mining magnate Gina Rinehart’s private jet.
