CORRECTION
An earlier version of this story included a statement that Gina Rinehart benefited from government funding packages supporting critical mineral projects. This was incorrect and was removed. In fact, Ms. Rinehart’s company, Hancock Prospecting, is a major shareholder in Arafura Rare Earths Limited, which receives loans and investment from the federal government for mining projects.
