Mining magnate Gina Rinehart is urging politicians to shift further to the right and adopt US President Donald Trump’s polices as she blames voters and the “left media” for the Coalition’s disastrous election result.
I honestly wonder if she just wants to ruin everything for her own benefit, or she is actually lost in the sauce.
What “left media”, Gina? Don’t you have enough fucking money yet?
I give it less than a month before Dutton is working for this piece of shit or sky news

A bit of column A and a bit of column B.
Yes Gina. Go further into the weeds. Atta girl.
The sky propaganda said this after the last election, the libs put Dutton as leader and did just that. Historic loss for them.
Again they are saying it now. I look forward to the libs following the advice more and getting reduced to a minor party.
Liberals and only punching left name a better combo.
Problem with that is that it would shift the overton window.
To the left? Good.
Gina needs to get lost!
A woman who has literally not done a fucking thing to earn her wealth, has intentionally bribed witnesses (and never went to prison for it) and openly influences elections to get what she wants. Ever her children are against her.
She need to be taxed to the maximum - imagine what Australia could be without her accumulated wealth.
She also wanted to use underground nuclear explosions to speed up the mining process. She is stupid and cares nothing more than building and hoarding her wealth, with no care who dies to do it
Yepp.
She is one of the few billionaires who does pay tax though.
Australia needs its own version of the push for 2% annual tax on wealth for anyone worth over $10m.
eg https://patrioticmillionaires.uk/ and the US sister organization.
Blames voters for voting how they want, instead of how she wants. What a cunt.
That’s the problem with democracy - too many voters.
To be fiar I do this as well as Greens voter :)
Its just The Greens support taxing her and her billionare bell end buddies higher to pay for dental in Medicare, more social housing etc etx something Australian’s don’t seem to want, hence my push back against voters as well :)
The difference is I just what to help all Australian’s what she wants is to help hereslf.
Ya know, I’ve never actually seen a real photo of her before, but I was scrolling and thought “is that that lady with the portrait?” And wouldn’t ya know, it is. 10/10 for capturing her likeness and essence. Must be tricky considering the little I know about her seems to indicate she has no soul.
Her salty response to that portrait was pretty funny.
The soundtrack for this portrait.
What left media?
Also, you protested this lovely portrait, gina:
She is right, it is the Voters that they saw through the lies and bullshit that her extreme Right-Wing media was spouting.
Gina would nuke Australia into a crater if it could make her richer.
May she be blessed by saint luigi
Not a hard target to hit.
Leftist media? In Australia?
Well Dutton did say The Biardian and ABC where left.
Left of Sky is perhaps what she mrans but aa you pointed out there zero left wing media in Australia.
To note Peta Credlin said much the same.
Even Grok thinks reality has a left wing bias https://gizmodo.com/elon-musks-grok-ai-has-a-problem-its-too-accurate-for-conservatives-2000597568
What’s her thinking here? Try and get some of the ~8% from One Nation/Trumpettes?
By shifting right, there’s a risk more Libs from the centre jump ship to teal or something else?
She lives in a bubble. Same as Bolt, who also blamed the voters. They’ve removed themselves from the mainstream, and can’t fathom the masses thinking fundamentally different from them.
Even a walloping with the clue stick, like what happened on Saturday, isn’t enough to shake their faith that they’re right. That’s why they blame the media, the left, the immigrants, anyone but themselves.
On Sky News, Peta Credlin said the Liberals should’ve leaned more into the culture wars. In quick retort Murray Watt welcomed her strategy. They’re in denial.
They think they didn’t lean into the culture wars?
I’m pretty sure that all the other parties would welcome the Liberals leaning into the mythical Culture Wars.
It would make it so much easier to eradicate them from our political landscape.
Do we on Lemmy need to amplify either this corrosive billionaire or the shaking my head newspaper?
This corrosive billionaire puts a lot of money into Australian politics, I think it’s important to know what you’re enemy is thinking.
Know thy enemy
We need to be aware that they seek to further shift the Australian media landscape to the right and to remain vigilante against their misinformation and propaganda.
Ohh wow… Hopefully voters deny these parasites access to power even harder like Canadians did.
Hopefully thank technology crat wanker actually does something with his mandate. But prolly another cycle of nothing burgers while enriching some other oligarch clan.
