We need to be aware of the malign influence our own billionaires have overseas.
Murdoch family falls under this idea as well, and I'm sure plenty more. Even Macquarie bank needs a kicking for how they've treated british water.
We need to begin holding our own accountable, economically or criminally, especially when their actions undermine the democratic will of our closest allies. What weakens our allies weakens us. These people are messing with Australia's National Security and our ability to rely on stable and unified partners.
I'd expect the security services to at minimum have a strong, quiet word with Ms Rinehart about her conduct here.
A peek into her mind:
The globe is sadly groaning with debt, poverty and strife
And billions now are pleading to enjoy a better life
Their hope lies with resources buried deep within the earth
And the enterprise and capital which give each project worthIs our future threatened with massive debts run up by political hacks
Who dig themselves out by unleashing rampant tax
The end result is sending Australian investment, growth and jobs offshore
This type of direction is harmful to our coreSome envious unthinking people have been conned
To think prosperity is created by waving a magic wand
Through such unfortunate ignorance, too much abuse is hurled
Against miners, workers and related industries who strive to build the worldDevelop North Australia, embrace multiculturalism and welcome short term foreign workers to our shores
To benefit from the export of our minerals and ores
The world's poor need our resources: do not leave them to their fate
Our nation needs special economic zones and wiser government, before it is too late- Gina, 2012
She wrote this "poem", had it imprented onto a plaque. Then, she placed a massive rock in front of a cheap market/shopping centre in Perth.

Holy shit that's wild, turning the districts against each other by manipulating the poor
Rinehart’s company even drove voters to the polls.
Wow. What a massive piece of shit!
It’s consistent with getting every member of the Australian olympic swimming team to write a letter to the National Gallery asking to get rid of a portrait of her she finds unflattering.
I found that such a shallow use of a very unique sort of political leverage.
Art is great.
They always have been, fuckers just don't bother hiding it any more
