Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce, both members of the One Nation political party, stayed overnight at the Brisbane home of mining magnate Gina Rinehart, according to a report by Guardian Australia. The stay occurred following fundraising events held at Rinehart’s $20 million property, located on the banks of the Brisbane River in Hawthorne. During one of these events, Joyce conducted a live television interview with Channel Seven’s Sunrise program from what appears to be a bedroom in Rinehart’s home. The interview took place on April 13, the day after the fundraising event. Parliamentary records show that both Hanson and Joyce declared flights on April 13 as being provided by Hancock Prospecting, Rinehart’s company. Flight-tracking data confirms that they traveled on Rinehart’s private Gulfstream jet from Brisbane to Sydney that afternoon. However, the accommodation at Rinehart’s home has not been declared to the parliament, which requires MPs to report any gifts or hospitality valued over $300 or that could be seen to create a conflict of interest with their public duties. The guidelines define "hospitality" as free or reduced-cost accommodation for MPs, their families, or dependents, excluding purely social arrangements with friends or colleagues. Joyce explained to Guardian Australia that he viewed the stay as a personal favor from a long-term friend, not a business arrangement. He stated that he does not see staying with friends as work and emphasized his commitment to doing thorough research for his role. Meanwhile, it has been revealed that Hanson has been using one of Rinehart’s bodyguards for her personal security. The guard, who has been seen with Hanson in Perth and Canberra, has been a close associate of Rinehart for over a decade. His LinkedIn profile lists him as a security manager with an undeclared company, though a 2023 post shows him working for Hancock Energy. It remains unclear whether he is still employed by Rinehart’s company, Hancock Prospecting. The revelations come amid ongoing scrutiny of One Nation’s financial ties to Rinehart. Guardian Australia has previously reported that the party failed to declare flights gifted by Hancock Prospecting to Hanson dating back to August 2022. Despite these reports, Hanson had previously denied receiving financial support from Rinehart, and the party’s national director, James Ashby, claimed in December 2022 that no money had been received from her. Labor senator Murray Watt criticized the lack of transparency, suggesting that the repeated attempts to conceal financial and operational links indicate a desire to avoid accountability. He argued that politicians in a democracy have a duty to be open about their decisions and operations, and that the secrecy surrounding One Nation’s ties to Rinehart reflects a "guilty conscience." One Nation did not respond to Guardian Australia’s questions, while a spokesperson for Hancock Prospecting stated that donations would be disclosed in accordance with legal requirements.
