@UnpluggedOz@Mon4Kooyong This is a cobbled together bundle of conspiracy theories and lies. Data from reputable sources show the opposite of what you contend. Check your sources. Facebook and bot “facts” are too often driven by bad actors.

How Pauline Hanson put a muzzle on Australian journalism Spot on here: “nobody seemed to think it fit to ask her why Welcome to Country is “divisive” while her own rhetoric is not.” Divisive is putting it mildly. It is selective corrosive racism. https://t.co/g9oca8AA80
@Jeff4theclimate@Dazzaat They can’t or won’t read actual policies. They were recruited as fanatics when they heard “no immigration,” “no aborigines department [sic].” They believe their imaginary white monoculture will be delivered by Pauline Hanson. One Nation is a cult.
I worked beside Don Craigie for years as he pushed for justice for the death of his nephew Mark Haines on railway tracks outside Tamworth. We knew it wasn’t suicide and saw the racism police brought to the case. Now the coroner has seen the same and ordered a fresh investigation.
Even 20 weeks is too late to have an abortion!? Pauline, I didn’t know I was pregnant. I showed no signs or symptoms at 22 weeks!!!
Late term abortions are extremely rare. They only occur if there are fetal anomalies or the Mother’s life is at risk. They only occur for medical emergencies. No matter what you think, it’s always devastating for the woman, the trauma never leaves you.
Pauline Hanson lies.
An ABC News Fact Check found no evidence linking Australian halal certification to terrorism or illegal funding. While lacking full transparency, the fees aren't shown to burden businesses, and funds typically go toward mosques, schools, and missionary work
I’d like to nominate Sarah Martin a sen /correspondent for The Guardian as
Journalist of the Year!
Sarah showed ultimate bravery in an out of control & hostile situation by being the only one to step up to the microphone to ask a highly appropriate question to well known thug!
Dropped in to see a building site of 21 social and affordable homes in Woy Woy that @AustralianLabor is helping to deliver.
Whether it’s providing 5% deposits, changing the tax system to make it easier for people to buy their first home, or funding $2bn in infrastructure to unlock more homes, we’re coming at this housing challenge from every angle.
This is our beautiful
multicultural Australia ❤️

Barrie Cassidy arguing that media double standards boost Pauline Hanson and One Nation. He notes that if her comment "No good muslim" had targeted Jews, the backlash would be far greater yet the media's handling has only seen her support rise.

A woman sent me an email. This is what she said:
Hi Sherele,
I’m reaching out because I’m a mother currently living through what I can only describe as a broken domestic violence system, and I don’t know who else is listening.
For the past three years, I’ve had an ADVO in place against my ex-partner, who is also the father of my daughter. Despite that, the threats have continued. Like many women, I lost faith in the system a long time ago because every interaction seemed to lead nowhere.
Two weeks ago, I finally found enough trust to make a formal statement regarding breaches of the ADVO. After years of putting up with behaviour that should never be tolerated, I decided to go through the process and do everything I was supposed to do.
I have since learned that the breach still hasn’t even been sent interstate for service.
At the same time, I’ve been waiting over a month for a simple phone call from my local Domestic Violence Liaison Officer to explain the process and provide an update. That call has never come.
What makes this even harder to understand is that there is an outstanding NSW warrant that has existed for years. During that time, there have been occasions where he has been in NSW, yet nothing appears to have come from it. There have also been previous reports and conversations that, from my understanding, were not identified or progressed as domestic violence matters.
As a victim-survivor, I keep asking myself the same questions.
Why is domestic violence not taken seriously from the very beginning?
Why are victims expected to keep reporting, documenting, and reliving their trauma if those reports are not acted upon quickly?
Why do women have to spend years chasing updates and accountability while trying to keep themselves and their children safe?
Why does it feel like state borders create barriers when it comes to enforcing warrants and domestic violence matters?
Why isn’t there a stronger national approach to protecting victim-survivors and holding perpetrators accountable?
Most importantly, why does it often feel like action only comes after someone has been seriously harmed or killed?
I am exhausted.
Not because I haven’t spoken up.
Not because I haven’t reported.
Not because I haven’t followed the process.
I’m exhausted because I have followed the process and still feel like I am fighting alone.
This isn’t just about me. It’s about every woman who has lost faith after being ignored, every victim who has waited months for answers, every mother trying to protect her children while navigating a system that feels impossible to understand.
I know there are dedicated people working within the system, but from where I stand, the gaps are enormous, and those gaps are leaving women vulnerable.
I don’t want sympathy.
I want awareness.
I want accountability.
And I want people to start asking why so many women are still falling through the cracks despite doing everything they are told to do. Why are they not being protected by the ones (police) who are meant to be on call to protect us at any given time?
Thank you for everything you do to give woman a voice. I hope by sharing my experience, it helps shine a light on just how much still needs to change.
Any other contact to pass this email onto would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I want to start making a noise.
Kind regards,
M

Every time I get a message like this, I fear she may become another name on my femicide toll. Australian governments - national, state & territory - are not listening to us. They do not understand the depth of the systemic failures women face when trying to stay alive and safe.
This is just one of the many reasons we need a Royal Commission into the Killing of Women and Girls. You can sign the petition aat https://t.co/BsvFWmIzbL.
@UnpluggedOz@Mon4Kooyong Check the facts. The claim that immigration is driving the housing shortage is just not true. Neither is the claim that there is “mass” immigration. https://t.co/Ql1nPkwha4
If One Nation can raise $4.7 million in 10 days for hate and division, I believe we can raise $1.5 million tomorrow for love. Our World Refugee Day Telethon goes from 7am to 11pm. Let’s send a powerful national message tomorrow that we are stronger together ❤️
@ProfJoannaHowe@PaulineHansonOz@OneNationAus 39-week abortions aren't a thing - that's a delivery.
You invented it to horrify people who don't know better.
~1% of abortions are after 20 weeks, and almost all for fetal abnormality diagnosed late.
Trading on people's worst days to push a fiction is disgraceful.
