Can someone explain to me why anyone should give a fuck what Gina says? Why has she been getting so much press recently?

Last week, the One Nation leader said she considers Rinehart an unofficial policy adviser to her and her party.

“I consider her a friend and I’m very … grateful for her support. She’s an Australian identity, she’s one of the highest taxpayers in the country.”

I'm willing to bet that she considers you a useful pet, Pauline.
