'Yes, it's sexy': Pauline Hanson gifted $2.1 million new plane by Gina Rinehart

One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson has been gifted a private plane and $2 million ahead of the party's first federal test at next week's Farrer by-election.

She shared the news on her social media this morning, saying it will help her visit more regional towns across the country.

"Yes it was donated. Yes I'm super happy. Yes it's fast. Yes it's amazing. Yes it's going to annoy the Guardian," she said.

"Yes it's a Cirrus G7. Yes it's sexy. Yes I have a pilot.

"No I won't be doing welcome to country each we land. No it's not battery-operated."

A spokesperson for Hanson said Cirrus G7 aircraft costs about $2.1 million and was donated by a company owned by Australia's richest person and loyal supporter Gina Rinehart.

One Nation was handed the plane before the announcement today and has already put it to use.

"Financial donations to the party are used to fund its normal operations and campaign activities," the spokesperson said.

Hanson also received $1 million from stockbroker Angus Aitken and wife Sarah and $500,000 each from former Northern Territory chief minister Adam Giles and geologist and climate sceptic Ian Plimer.

Giles and Plimer are employed at Hancock Prospecting, which is owned by Rinehart.

Hanson has publicly declared that Hancock Prospecting has provided her with flights several times in 2025 and 2026.

Hanson said the "faith and investment" in One Nation would be an "enormous help" for their federal campaign.

"We have a lot of additional fundraising to undertake between now and the cut-off in December to combat the uni-party ahead of the 2028 federal election," she said.

"I want to pass on my sincere thanks to everyone who has made a contribution to One Nation over the years. I cannot thank you enough for the hope and encouragement you give me to help turn this country around."

One Nation will need to publicly declare the estimated $4 million in donations at the end of this year.

New rules that will cap how much politicians can receive in donations will come into effect around the end of the year.

One Nation's record rise in popularity in the polls will be tested at a federal level in the Farrer byelection on May 9.

Former opposition leader Sussan Ley held the regional NSW seat for 25 years and left it empty when she retired from politics earlier this year.

One Nation's candidate David Farley has emerged as a real contender for Farrer and is in a close race with independent candidate Michelle Milthorpe.
