Joyce Says One Nation Will Lease Rinehart-Owned Brisbane Headquarters
Published
One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce said on Monday that the party would commercially lease its new Brisbane headquarters from billionaire Gina Rinehart. Hanrine Investments, a subsidiary of Hancock Prospecting, bought the three-storey inner-city office for A$8 million. Joyce said the building remained hers and the party would lease it at commercial rates, while defending her right to spend her money and saying One Nation pays its own costs rather than charging taxpayers. A Hancock spokesperson said the tenant would receive neither free accommodation nor reduced rent.
