Pauline Hanson's Free Flights from Gina Rinehart Revealed

One Nation senator Pauline Hanson failed to properly declare free flights from mining billionaire Gina Rinehart's company. The update to her register came after questions from the Guardian.
One Nation senator Pauline Hanson has failed to properly declare more free flights gifted from mining billionaire Gina Rinehart – this time through her agricultural company S Kidman and Co.
Senator Hanson updated her register on Tuesday to include multiple flights taken last year courtesy of Rinehart's company following questions sent from the Guardian on Monday regarding a flight from Tamworth to Brisbane on 8 December last year.

The disclosure sheds new light on the close relationship between the One Nation leader and Australia's wealthiest person. Hanson has long been a vocal supporter of Rinehart and her companies, and the mining magnate has in turn provided significant financial and in-kind support to the populist party.
Rinehart's S Kidman and Co. is one of the largest private landowners in Australia, with a pastoral empire spanning millions of hectares. The company's agricultural interests have increasingly aligned with Hanson's nationalist, anti-globalist agenda.
The revelations come as Hanson faces continued scrutiny over her failure to properly disclose other gifts and benefits from Rinehart, including chartered flights and accommodation. In 2017, the senator was forced to update her register to include a previously undeclared flight from Perth to Darwin courtesy of Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting.
Hanson's spokesman said the latest update to her register was made
