## Resource

Queensland’s Olympic rowing venue pick for 2032 has sparked controversy after the government chose Rockhampton — despite their own review panel recommending Penrith. The twist? Mining magnate Gina Rinehart personally lobbied Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie, touting the Fitzroy River’s world-class facilities and Australia’s mining heritage as key selling points. Her letter, delivered after Senator Matt Canavan floated the idea, came as Rowing Australia itself may have favored Penrith — raising eyebrows about influence and decision-making behind closed doors.
