Hanson Reveals Who Paid for Italy Flights
Pauline Hanson said Gina Rinehart covered her Europe flights and gave her an invitation to a Dolce & Gabbana show, after photos prompted a late disclosure.
- On Tuesday, Senator Pauline Hanson updated her parliamentary register to disclose that billionaire Gina Rinehart funded her European flights and paid for an invitation to a Dolce & Gabbana fashion parade in Sicily.
- Hanson previously declared gifts from Rinehart and Hancock Prospecting, including a private Cirrus G7 aircraft valued at about $1.3 million and a "bloody big orange bulldozer" gifted on stage at a regional summit.
- Photographs emerged earlier this month showing Hanson and Rinehart at the Grand Hotel San Pietro in Sicily, drawing scrutiny after Hanson failed to disclose the side trip while speaking at a major conservative conference in London.
- Speaking at a Seven West Media event last week, Hanson rejected suggestions that taxpayers funded her travels, stating: "It didn't cost the taxpayer one cent for my trip overseas. Not one cent."
- Separately, the Federal Court ruled on Monday that Hanson racially discriminated against Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi, leaving her 28 days to lodge an appeal with the country's highest court.
