Gina Rinehart tops Australia's rich list. She is a success story, worth almost $40bn. She’s also a climate sceptic, a Trumpette, a litigant – even against her own kids – and the woman who saved Australian swimming. She doesn’t shy from a fight and she’s sensitive about controlling her image. As her wealth continues to rise, so do her power and her influence. For her whole life she has advocated for rightwing causes – she’s a fierce critic of bureaucracy, and wants to cut red and green tape to boost the country’s prosperity. We explore how much power she has. Hearing from a range of her critics and defenders, and tracing her influence from the Pilbara to the corridors of power, this series asks: who is Gina Rinehart and what does she want?
