She declared school climate education "propaganda". Brought climate-deniers on speaking tours. Donated millions to the professional water-muddiers at the Institute of Public Affairs. Lamented that Australian workers cost too much while "Africans want to work & its workers are willing to work for less than $2 per day". In December 2021 she complained that under-developed Australia didn't have enough large marinas for super-yachts. She said this while actually speaking from the deck of her own super-yacht. In 2018 she advised women who wanted executive positions to "work harder". In 2012, she declared Aust should cut corporate tax, and also lower the minimum wage. This from an individual currently valued at well over $30 billion.

Now, mining magnate Gina Rinehart - Australia's richest person and largest landowner - has been made an Officer of the Order of Australia.

The office of Governor Gen says the Order of Australia gongs are given “for distinguished service, of a high degree, to Australia or to humanity at large”.

Not satire.
