Birds of a feather. Clearly, she didn’t want to repudiate Daddy’s call to sterilise Indigenous Australians because doing so may have ruffled a few of her fellow birds’ feathers. Even a hard right winger like Rupert Murdoch is walking away from Trump but Gina is like the daughter Trump wishes he had.
Minehart has always been in Humpty Dumpty's camp. She was urging the Australian Government to adopt his hairbrained policies in the run up to his first candidature :
I reckon Netball Australia will be glad that Rinehart took her money and walked.

Murdoch is pretty mercenary, I'm not sure you can read anything into his actions other than staying on the coat tails of the winning side. Rinehart is similarly cruel, and Rinehart is smarter than Trump she could chew him up and spit him out with little trouble.
You have to keep in mind the policy position of the Red states, they might be aligned with Rinehart's US mining interests. btw., And by Red states I mean more than US prefectures, who are the major shareholders in Rinehart's domestic operations, as I understand she is in bed with China and there is little doubt China would prefer Trump over Biden.
There may be more "Red" in that fundraising than Americans care to admit! :o
Finally, yes I get it Trump boosters will claim Trump talks tougher on China than Biden, but the devil is in the detail and Trump's actions do not match his words. Native Americans had a label for that type of talker!

Victoria sponsors and/or financially supports many sports in our state and nationally. I guess the Grand Prix is a good example along with helping out some AFL clubs with ground development. Many Victorians are sh1tty forking out $M40-$M50 annually on these metal boxes whizzing about in circles... however, it does promote -- in a tourism sense -- Melbourne and Australia to the motor sport world.

No different to paying for the Grand Prix, Moto GP, Bells Beach, the Australian Open and all of the other sporting and non-sporting tourist promotions that are said to attract tourist dollars to our fair State.

Yep, I thought there was bipartisan agreement that money should only be thrown at male-dominated sports.
