国会议员巴纳比·乔伊斯否认亿万富翁吉娜·莱因哈特与一国党存在任何“利益冲突”，此前莱因哈特斥资800万澳元在布里斯班市中心购买了一栋三层办公楼，通过其矿业公司汉考克探矿的子公司汉林投资租赁给一国党作为新总部。乔伊斯周一表示，莱因哈特有权自由支配自己的资金。“这是她的楼，她的租约。我们按商业费率向她租赁，”他对News24表示。
MP Barnaby Joyce has denied any “conflict of interest” with billionaire Gina Rinehart after she bought an inner-city Brisbane office to lease to One Nation for its new headquarters.
“我们有个有钱人——他们应该被允许按自己意愿花钱。如果他们想支持一国党，尽管去做吧。”他还表示，接受莱因哈特支持的替代方案是向纳税人收费。“我们在一国党总是尽力自己买单，”乔伊斯说。
Ms Rinehart, Australia’s richest person, splashed $8m on the three-storey building via Hanrine Investments, a subsidiary of her mining firm Hancock Prospecting.
莱因哈特此前曾向一国党领袖保琳·汉森赠送豪礼，包括一架价值150万澳元的私人飞机。
莱因哈特还至少部分资助了汉森参议员6月的欧洲之行，当时两人在意大利南部一家度假村被拍到同行。
期间，汉森会见了一系列极右翼和边缘人物，包括反伊斯兰活动家汤米·罗宾逊。
Mr Joyce said on Monday that Ms Rinehart was free to spend her money as she liked.
罗宾逊真名斯蒂芬·亚克斯利-列侬，有多项前科并与俄罗斯国家媒体有联系。
“It’s her building. It’s her lease. We’re leasing it off her at commercial rates,” he told News24.
汉森从欧洲之行归来后批评联邦法规无谓地阻碍矿业项目，这一言论呼应了莱因哈特的批评。汉森还形容莱因哈特“很棒”。
“她是个非常聪明、精明的女性……她是个非常自豪、爱国的澳大利亚人，她在身上看到了同样的特质，所以支持我，”汉森参议员谈及这位矿业大亨时说道。
“We’ve got an individual who’s got money – they should be allowed to spend it as they see fit. “If they want to support One Nation, knock yourself out.” He went on to say the alternative to taking Ms Rinehart’s support is billing taxpayers instead. “We always make sure we pay for things ourselves as best we can in One Nation,” Mr Joyce said. Ms Rinehart has previously showered One Nation leader Pauline Hanson with gifts, including a private plane worth $1.5m. Ms Rinehart also at least partly sponsored Senator Hanson’s travel to Europe in June when the pair were spotted at a resort in southern Italy. During that trip, Senator Hanson met with a range of far-right and fringe figures, including anti-Islam campaigner Tommy Robinson. Mr Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has a string of convictions as well as ties to Russian state media. Senator Hanson returned from her European jaunt to criticise federal regulations she claimed needlessly hampered mining projects. The comments, made during her first media event back in Australia, echoed Ms Rinehart’s criticisms. Senator Hanson also described Ms Rinehart as “wonderful”. “She’s a very smart, clever woman … she’s a very proud, patriotic Australian and she sees the same in me, that’s why she backs me,” Senator Hanson said of the mining magnate.
