Billionaire Builds Homes for Veteran Hero

Billionaire Gina Rinehart unveils a $200 million veteran housing initiative named after war hero Ben Roberts-Smith, who’s facing serious criminal charges for alleged war crimes in Afghanistan — charges he denies. Despite the controversy, Rinehart champions him as a national hero and criticizes the prosecution’s cost, insisting veterans deserve action, not just words. The first complex, offering 20 beds near Scarborough Beach, is part of a broader plan to expand housing across WA and QLD, providing immediate shelter and dignity to homeless vets as winter looms. Veteran advocates and residents alike praise the effort as a vital first step toward healing and stability. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
