The Olympic Games are almost at an end.
Therefore I propose that Australia's next Governor General should be Mrs. Gina Rinehart.
Gina has through her own initiative been a great help many athletes in Olympic Games sports especially the Australian Swim team The Dolphins. Gina ha been generous and insisted on absolute transparency as to where the funding has gone. Gina seeks nothing but watching the swimmers achieve their best and hopefully bring home some medals.

Gina Rinehart celebrating Australia’s medal tally with legend Dawn Fraser and Jeff Winnington at the swimming
To get an indication of the influence
Gina Rinehart has had in the first week of the Olympics, consider what the parents of Australia’s swimming stars say about billionaire mining magnate.
The swimmers have dominated in the pool at Paris, lighting up the La Defense Arena night after night with gold medals galore.
And there almost every evening watching on from her corporate box overlooking the pool has been Mrs Rinehart,
the swimming benefactor that just about everyone in the sport is raving about.
Every night after the events are done, there’s a gathering of swimming parents at Corcoran’s Irish pub, the hotel the Australians have adopted 200m from the Olympic pool.
It is there that the parents gather to celebrate, commiserate and generally revel in the incredible atmosphere that only the Olympics can generate.
They are effusive in their praise of Mrs Rinehart there too, where they talk about just how much difference the iron ore magnate’s direct funding to the swimmers, and athletes in three other sports, has made to their sporting lives.
In other words, Mrs Rinehart’s money, medal incentives and even milk and Wagyu beef has, in combination with coaching expertise and athlete talent, helped propel the swimmers to their best results for several Games.

Lovely to see such a great Australian supporting so much without wanting fanfare and glory. If only there were more of you Gina - not just for the support, but for the true Ozzie spirit and values.
Thank you Gina. A true Australian. I wish more top business people were as patriotic and practical in their support of our country.
A wonderful Australian. Gina is also a generous benefactor to the families of veterans through Legacy in Queensland
