Gina Rinehart, Australia’s richest person and a major donor to the Liberal Party, urged the country’s conservatives to stare down the weekend’s election wipe-out and lean in to policies like those of US President Donald Trump.
Rinehart, an ardent and vocal supporter of Trump, issued a lengthy statement Monday morning following Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s historic election win at the weekend. The result saw him achieve a majority in parliament for his center-left Labor Party, while Liberal leader Peter Dutton lost his seat.
In her statement, Rinehart called for Australians to “stay and fight for understanding of the changes Australia needs,” and to look more closely at the “common sense and truth” in the US.

Lifelong Liberal voter here. The moment I heard Dutton channel tRump, was the moment I flipped to a Labour voter. I will never vote Liberal again, and this tunnel cunted, fat whore has just confirmed my decision. Fuck tRump and anybody who sees him in a positive light.
Fuck you Gina.
Do not interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake.
So yes, Australian conservatives should def go full MAGA, then they will die and future elections will be between the neolibs and an actual leftist party.
Yeah, we said the same thing about the MAGA idiots, and Trump back in 2016. Thought having Trump on the ticket would make Hillary an easy shoe-in. Turns out they were wrong.
I would have agreed with you up until last week, where the Aussie conservatives (including all MAGA/cooker parties) had their greatest defeat since the 1940’s.
Australia is definitely not immune, but the best defence against fascism appears to be the consequences of fascism. Thanks America! Now fix your shithole cuntry.
Not every country has an illiteracy rate of 75%, so it isn’t a shock that US citizens were wrong about something.
Dude, pretty much every person in the U.S. can read. You have the statistic backward, 70% of people have an at or above average literacy rate.
Edit: Besides, it’s not reading that got us Trump, it’s billionaires and Fox News. Russia, China, and any other not friendly country to the U.S. disinformation campaigns have been rampant for a decade or more now.
21% of the country is clinically illiterate. In the remaining 79%, 54% read at or below a 6th grade level. This means that about 75% of US adults are functionally or clinically illiterate.
This impacts their ability to think critically because they cannot comprehend the “facts” they are told to read because the language is above that of a 6th grader allowing propaganda to flourish.
Fucking rich people.

I recommend you remove any criminal like Trump from running and place him in jail where he belongs.
That’s the fun part cause the people who seek power don’t deserve it. Bring on the global anarchist revolution!
This cunt needs to fuck right off with the rest of the rich nepo billionaire babies.
Isn’t Trump one of the reasons the Liberal party got creamed? Not that I expect her to realize or accept it.
PP of Canada is using the same words verbatim when he lost, getting their script from ruzzia
I think the election showed that most Aussies are sick of the constant slide to the right wing of politics.
Huh, they were always assholes, but now they really want to make being an asshole in public acceptable again…
