Australian billionaire Gina Rinehart, one of the country's wealthiest and a prominent mining executive, has suggested offering free land near Townsville in Queensland to ‘Israeli’ defence specialists and their families.

The proposal, in Rinehart’s opinion, aims to establish a hub for developing and manufacturing advanced military technologies, including war drones and improved missile defence systems akin to ‘Israel's’ Iron Dome.

I'm going to have a difficult time calling Gina 'Your Majesty'. She seems more like a Grand Poobah. I guess her official title is Gina the Hutt? Still love the painting. I wonder what thought bubble she'll fart out next for her minions to smilingly inhale.
