Gina Rinehart gifts portrait of herself to National Portrait Gallery
Kelly Burke
Mining magnate Gina Rinehart has gifted a portrait of herself to the National Portrait Gallery, but there appear to be strings attached.
Senate estimates heard today that the gallery was processing a deed of gift made by Australia’s richest woman, and it was indeed an approved portrait of herself.
But it appears there may have been a hitch.
The gallery’s director, Bree Pickering, told the hearing:
There were some conditions that came along with that gift that meant those conditions are currently under negotiation.
Because of those conditions, we haven’t been able to formally accept … the work into the collection.
She declined to detail what the conditions were, as they were currently under negotiation, but indicated it was to do with the way the work would be displayed.
Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young asked:
No swimmers have written to you?

The Queensland premier, Steven Miles, has called on embattled Townsville mayor Troy Thompson to resign, for “the good of the city”. He told a press conference today:

It’s hard to imagine how it’s in Townsville’s best interests for him to remain as mayor. I’d urge him to seriously consider what’s in the best interests of the city – that he said he cared about, when he ran for election.

\n
In spite of some of the simplistic reporting by the Coalition cheer squad, [the ministerial direction 99] is a complex document that is subject to legal processes. And the [AAT] has overturned decisions by ministers and by departments consistently. It’s not a rare occasion, in social security, in migration, in all of these matters, and then the appeals go through to … they’re subject to legal appeal.
\n
If you’ve got something specific about a clause, I’m happy to answer it, but if not then I suggest people go and have a read of what the directions are. And have a look at the consistency which is there. The pretence which some of the Coalition’s actions are based on suggestion there is something new which is not, in fact new, there is nothing new with section 501 [character cancellations].
\n
We’ve kept it there, completely. There’s nothing new about the AAT overturning decisions by ministers and by departments. We have the rule of law in this country and that’s something that from time to time when Peter Dutton was a minister he might have found an inconvenience – but he had to comply with the law as well.

Making huge international news this morning, former US president Donald Trump has been found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.

Despite the jury finding Trump guilty on all 34 counts, Nationals senator Matt Canavan has instead labelled the decision “an embarrassing political witch hunt and one US trend we should not follow”.

Sad what has happened to the American “justice” system. An embarrassing political witch hunt and one US trend we should not follow. Let’s hope our judicial system is never politically weaponised like this. Take on your political opponents at elections not in the courtroom.

This is quite another remarkable turn of events. Look, I’m not qualified to be a political expert in terms of what might happen next, but there’ll be questions. And at a time when we are seeing such significant global instability, how that plays out in streets, in towns and communities across the world, we need a strong and stable US, and I guess that’s really now for the American community to work through.

Making news this morning: the Albanese government has announced the first round of green loans for households, promised as part of a $1bn commitment in last year’s federal budget. The loans can be used to support cheaper finance for rooftop solar panels and inverters, home batteries, and electric vehicle chargers, just to name a few. Adam Morton will have all the details for us shortly.

Millennials are leading the exodus from capital cities to regional areas, continuing a trend that began during Covid-19 pandemic restrictions and has been fuelled by high housing and living costs, AAP reports. The exodus of people from state capitals was no longer a “quirky flow-on” of the pandemic but a sustained societal shift, Regional Australia Institute chief executive Liz Ritchie has said. We’ll bring you more of her comments soon.

Rinehart’s attempted portrait gift revealed in Senate estimates – video
A little earlier we brought you the news that Gina Rinehart is trying to gift a portrait of herself – that she appears to approve of – to the National Portrait Gallery, but it seems to come with some strings attached.
We heard about it all in Senate estimates this afternoon. Here’s some video of that exchange.

Half of Collins class submarine fleet currently out of service for repairs, estimates hears
The coalition has jumped on evidence in Senate estimates today that three Collins class submarines – half of the fleet – will be out of action for repairs and intensive maintenance.
The government-owned firm ASC confirmed that one Collins class submarine was undergoing “full cycle docking” at the Osborne shipyard in South Australia, another one had arrived at Osborne but remained in navy control pending an imminent handover, and a third submarine was undergoing “intermediate docking” in Henderson, Western Australia.
The coalition’s foreign affairs spokesperson, Simon Birmingham, asked whether there was now an increased risk of delays to the more extensive work needed to extend the life of the Collins class submarines (to keep them going until the Aukus nuclear-powered submarines enter into service).
Stuart Whiley, the ASC chief executive, replied:
No, I don’t don’t believe so, no.
Birmingham later issued a statement saying it was “disturbing that the Albanese government had allowed this major disruption to the Collin Class fleet that would have significant ramifications for Australia’s national security”.
Birmingham said:
New problems in Collins and delays in availability should be sending alarm bells through the Albanese government but instead they’re just shrugging their shoulders at news that half of Australia’s submarine fleet will be out of the water until at least Christmas.
The government must get on top of these delays so as not to endanger the Collins Life of Type Extension (LOTE) program and ensure continuity of submarine capability prior to Aukus deliveries of nuclear-powered submarines.

Nearly 80% of referrals to Nacc dismissed since opening
The federal government’s new anti-corruption body has told Senate estimates it had dismissed 78% of its referrals at the triage stage since opening its doors in July 2023 because they “did not involve a commonwealth public official or did not raise a corruption issue”.
In his tabled opening statement, the National Anti-Corruption Commission’s chief executive, Philip Reed, confirmed the watchdog had received 2,955 referrals in the 11 months up to 19 May, closing 2,312 referrals.
Reed said there have been 22 preliminary investigations, and 21 corruption investigations, including six joint investigations. Charges have been laid and an arrest made in one of the investigations.
The powerful body also revealed it had executed 25 search warrants, 8 applications for telephone intercept warrants and another 8 for surveillance device warrants.
Interestingly, the Nacc revealed it has also issued nine directions to agency heads and 81 public servants to produce documents or information to aid its investigations.
Two private hearings across two investigations, involving a total of 12 witnesses, had also been undertaken.
Reed said:
It is rapidly maturing as an independent commonwealth entity with the mission to enhance integrity in the commonwealth public sector by deterring, detecting and preventing corrupt conduct involving commonwealth public officials through education, monitoring, investigation, reporting and referral.

Guzman y Gomez to list on ASX and open new stores
Mexican-themed fast food chain Guzman y Gomez will debut on the stock exchange next month with a valuation of $2.2bn and aggressive plans to boost its store numbers.
The Sydney-based burrito specialist has 210 stores, with the majority located in Australia, which are a mix of corporately-owned and franchised restaurants. It has a small number of outlets in Singapore, Japan and the US.
Steven Marks, the founder and co-chief executive, said today he wanted that store network to increase to more than 1,000 restaurants over the next two decades.
The chain will trade under the “GYG” ticker on the ASX from 20 June. It is offering stock through an initial public offering at $22 per share, which will be used to fund the growth strategy.
GYG opened its first restaurant in 2006 in Sydney.
It is the second major well-known brand to recently detail its plans to become a public company, with Chemist Warehouse preparing to trade on the ASX later this year, pending various approvals.
Gina Rinehart gifts portrait of herself to National Portrait Gallery
Kelly Burke
Mining magnate Gina Rinehart has gifted a portrait of herself to the National Portrait Gallery, but there appear to be strings attached.
Senate estimates heard today that the gallery was processing a deed of gift made by Australia’s richest woman, and it was indeed an approved portrait of herself.
But it appears there may have been a hitch.
The gallery’s director, Bree Pickering, told the hearing:
There were some conditions that came along with that gift that meant those conditions are currently under negotiation.
Because of those conditions, we haven’t been able to formally accept … the work into the collection.
She declined to detail what the conditions were, as they were currently under negotiation, but indicated it was to do with the way the work would be displayed.
Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young asked:
No swimmers have written to you?
Before we get back to the hard news, here’s some pretty pictures from the past month:

Ananda-Rajah ‘now in a state of political limbo’ after Higgins abolition proposal, political academic says
Dr Zareh Ghazarian, a politics lecturer in the school of social sciences at Monash University, has responded to the Australian Electoral Commission’s proposal to abolish the Labor-held seat of Higgins.
In a statement he said:
The proposed abolition of Higgins has significant political implications. This was a seat that was once a Liberal Party stronghold, and was won by the Labor Party for the first time in 50 years at the 2022 election.
The current Labor MP, Michelle Ananda-Rajah, is now in a state of political limbo as she may have to find another electorate to contest, or try her luck in the senate. It also means that Labor’s achievement in 2022 by winning this seat will be short lived and the party will be down one seat in Victoria if the proposal was to be adopted.

NSW to fast-track planning proposals for social and affordable housing
A promise to halve planning times for social housing could help NSW meet its share of national home-building goals, AAP reports.
NSW needs to deliver 377,000 more homes over the five years to mid-2029 in order to meet a national target of an extra 1.2m extra houses.
The NSW government today announced it would fast-track planning proposals for social and affordable housing, in conjunction with council-by-council housing targets and incentives already announced.
Rezoning proposals from NSW housing agencies will be accelerated via a new team within the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure to manage applications.
Development assessment times for social and affordable housing would be cut in half by the changes, the government said, with the shift freeing up councils to focus on the assessment of local development applications.
There were more than 57,000 applicants on the NSW waitlist for social housing in March amid a dire shortage of available public and private dwellings.
Nearly 300 previously uninhabitable, vacant social houses had been restored and made available for tenants with funding from the federal $2bn social housing accelerator pool.
But new housing approvals remain well below the figure of 75,000 extra homes needed each year for NSW to meet its five-year target, with fewer than 45,000 homes cleared statewide in the year to April.

‘They’d be wearing it, and hurting’: AAT registrar on visa controversy
The Administrative Appeals Tribunal is up at Senate estimates. The Coalition has asked registrar Michael Hawkins about the morale of AAT members after “attacks” from the immigration minister and prime minister on how they have implemented ministerial direction 99 on visa cancellation. Labor objected, rejecting that characterisation.
Hawkins responded that Labor’s Murray Watt had said that decisions of AAT members “are on them”. He said:
He’s absolutely right, we are accountable, and responsible for our decisions. We take that oath, we take it seriously. To make the correct decision, or where there is more than one, the preferable decision.
Hawkins, as a former member, said that members worry about “denying someone the opportunity to come to Australia”, and the risk of harm if they are sent back to their country, or that “there might be an unfortunate circumstance” if they are allowed in or to keep their visa.
Hawkins said members do “worry about it” and those referred to in the media about decisions they made in line with the law would “be wearing it, and they’d be hurting”.
Friday afternoon is upon us, which means one thing: time to get stuck into the Weekly Beast:
Earlier, Paul Karp brought us news that the Australian Electoral Commission has proposed to abolish the Melbourne seat of Higgins, as part of its draft proposed redistribution of seats in Victoria and Western Australia.
Higgins is held by Labor MP Michelle Ananda-Rajah.
Responding to the news, her fellow Labor backbencher Sally Sitou tweeted in support:
My friend Michelle Ananda-Rajah is one of the hardest working Federal MPs that I know.

Jack Black sends video message to Melbourne high school performing ‘School of Rock’
Everyone’s favourite fake music teacher, Jack Black, has sent a message of support to a Melbourne high school after discovering students would be performing his hit film, the School of Rock, as a musical.
Black is soon to be in Australia touring as part of his comedy rock duo, Tenacious D, which prompted Ringwood secondary college to lobby the star to attend one of their performances.
In a video, distributed by the ABC, Black told the school he was “touched” by the invitation but would be too busy “rocking” with previous commitments.
“Oh my god, Ringwood secondary college, are you kidding me?” he cried, before bursting into high pitched song.
You’re doing School of Rock? I love it, so touched … so moved.
You know it’s been 20 years since I made that movie, as you can tell by my beard, my old man beard, and it’s still my favourite movie I ever did. I love that you guys are gonna rock it, I wish I could come see it, but unfortunately I’m going to be rocking.
But I just wanted to remind you that there’s no way you can stop the School of Rock.
