One Nation, an Australian political party, will relocate its national headquarters to a building owned by Gina Rinehart in Brisbane. The property is part of Hancock Prospecting's commercial portfolio and will be rented at market rate. Barnaby Joyce defended the arrangement, stating that individuals with financial means should support parties as they see fit. Meanwhile, the party has appointed Richard Henderson, its media advisor, to lead the South Australian branch, aiming for growth in state elections, particularly in Victoria ahead of November's vote.

Story summary
In April 2023, Gina Rinehart, Australia's richest person and a significant donor to the far-right political party One Nation, purchased an office property in Spring Hill, Brisbane for approximately $8 million. This three-story building will become One Nation’s new headquarters after its current base at Brisbane Airport. Rinehart’s company Hanrine Investments finalized the purchase last week through her mining business Hancock Prospecting. Despite concerns about a conflict of interest and accusations of sweetheart deals, One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce insists that his party will pay market rate for the space to ensure there are no favors given. Hancock Prospecting maintains it offers commercial terms only and has not provided any free or discounted rent to outside tenants. This move is part of a broader strategy by One Nation to strengthen its national presence across Australia, with Rinehart’s financial support playing a crucial role in these efforts.
