Statement from Mrs Gina Rinehart regarding the passing of Teena McQueen

Like many people across Australia, I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the exceptional Teena McQueen.

Teena cared deeply about our country, its future, and the values that make Australia. Teena had a wonderful ability to see through pretense and pick those who were, “all hat and no cattle.” She was straight forward and did not pretend to be anyone other than herself. These are just some of the many qualities that she will be long remembered for. 

Teena gave much of herself to public life, politics, business, media, charity and the causes she believed in.

She was a fiercely loyal friend, who brought warmth, conviction and strength to everything she believed in.  

She will be greatly missed by many who admired her spirit and her contribution. And her infectious joie de vie! 

My heartfelt condolences are with Teena’s daughter, beloved grandsons and her many friends.
