The MCA congratulates Mrs Gina Rinehart AO who was named Western Australian of the Year in Perth last night in recognition of her generous philanthropy and unrivalled corporate success.
Mrs Rinehart has made an extraordinary contribution to Western Australia and the rest of the nation via her extensive and very successful business ventures in mining and agriculture, and her significant financial contribution to various causes supporting medical, educational, sporting, health and community organisations.
It is a well-deserved honour for Mrs Rinehart who is a passionate advocate of the resources industry and its contribution to Australia.
The MCA also congratulates the other winners of the 2023 Western Australian of the Year Awards for their extraordinary contributions in key areas such as arts and culture, the Aboriginal community, positive social, scientific and economic impact, sport and the WA community as a whole.
