Gina Rinehart brought a whole wagyu sirloin to James Ashby’s post-Christmas fundraising dinner at a restaurant in Yeppoon.

Australia’s richest person was the guest of honour at the event, hosted by Ashby, Pauline Hanson’s controversial chief of staff, who is now running as the One Nation candidate for the Queensland seat of Keppel.
