Gina Rinehart Urges Australia to Learn from Trump

Gina Rinehart, Australia's richest person, has expressed her admiration for Donald Trump's recent election victory, urging Australia to 'watch and learn' from his policies, particularly regarding tax cuts and reducing government regulation. Speaking at Trump's election party, she characterized his win as a significant repudiation of leftist policies, which she believes harm the less fortunate. Rinehart highlighted her belief that Trump's approach could improve living standards in Australia. Meanwhile, Trump secured 301 Electoral College votes against Kamala Harris’s 226 and is expected to receive additional votes from Arizona, solidifying his presidency. Amidst this political backdrop, inflation and high illegal immigration are contributing to the rise of far-right coalitions in Europe, suggesting a broader trend influenced by economic conditions. Rinehart's sentiments reflect a growing alignment among some Australian business leaders with Trump's fiscal policies.
