Gina: Like father, like daughter – episode 2
Apr 6, 2025
Michael Yabsley, a former advisor to mining mogul Gina Rinehart, and Ken Henry, ex-Treasury Secretary, dive into the profound political influence of wealth. They discuss Rinehart's strategic opposition to the mining super profits tax and how she learned from her father, Lang Hancock, a pioneer of the iron ore industry. The conversation also tackles the push for Western Australia's secession, personal rivalries in mining, and the complex interplay of politics and economics that shapes Australia's future.
