@Sammy_L @DavidBlackie9 You missed the key detail, which is now your thing.

Pauline Hanson wasn’t just “having lunch” in Queensland.

She was skipping an entire Canberra sitting week to eat cake with Clive while other Senators did the job taxpayers pay them for.

That’s taking the piss with icing.

Gina Rinehart still using the honourary title she bought from Bond University as if she is an actual doctor.😂

Pauline Hanson has blamed the Government for letting bird migration numbers get out of hand, after a bird found in Western Australia was believed to have bird flu.

"A lot of them don't even speak English"

Anne Ally makes a good point.

Pauline talks about everything she wants to take away, but she doesn't talk about anything she wants to GIVE.

Fair.

[Australian National Imams Council @ImamsCouncil]

Statement on Senator Pauline Hanson's National Press Club address

Senator Pauline Hanson used the National Press Club to revive a tired and divisive narrative: blaming Muslims, multiculturalism and immigration for Australia’s challenges. The Australian National Imams Council (ANIC) rejects that premise entirely. We will not respond from a position of apology for our faith, our community, or our place in this country.

Muslims have been part of this continent’s story since before British settlement. Makassan traders from the islands to our north were visiting the coasts of Arnhem Land and trading with Aboriginal people for generations before the First Fleet arrived. The cameleers who helped open the interior came later, and the first mosques were built under Queen Victoria in the 1800s. We are not guests asking to stay. This is our home, and our place in it is settled.

ANIC opposes violence and incitement without reservation, whoever commits it. But Senator Hanson draws no meaningful line between a criminal fringe and well over a million Australian Muslims. To vilify an entire faith community is not policy. It is division dressed as public debate, and it weakens the social harmony Australia needs.

We would add a point of principle. The label “extreme” is often applied selectively and politically. A view that one person finds extreme, another may regard as ordinary. Many Australians, by that same measure, would regard Senator Hanson’s own views as extreme. More importantly, holding a strong or unpopular opinion is not a crime, and it does not lead inevitably to violence. A confident society tolerates a wide range of beliefs and judges people by their actions, not their thoughts.

The distinction Senator Hanson refuses to make, between belief and violence, and between a community and the few who break the law, is the very distinction that protects everyone’s freedom, including her own.

Australia’s real pressures, housing, energy and the cost of living, are not eased by blaming those who pray differently, look different, or speak another language at home. Australia is strongest when it protects freedom of religion, equal citizenship, multicultural harmony and respectful disagreement.

ANIC’s invitation to Senator Hanson stands, as it has for many years. We believe in dialogue with all Australians and remain open to engaging constructively for the greater good of our nation and the country we all share.

Don’t you hate it when people in Australia can’t speak English?

[Richard Marles @RichardMarlesMP]

Australia remains steadfast in our support for Ukraine and we are pleased to be providing an additional $100 million in assistance to Ukraine for vital military equipment.

We will make two additional $50 million contributions to the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) over 2026-27.

In partnership with NATO, Australia is supporting Ukraine to secure the critical military equipment and capabilities it needs to defend itself against Russia’s unjustified and unprovoked invasion.

Seriously what world are we living in right now!?

[David Milner @DaveMilbo]

In summary:

- you blocked Margot from asking a real question to Hanson
- Masola instead asks if Australia is being 'Flooded with Muslims'
- sponsored by weapons and fossil fuel companies
- cancelled Hedges and invited Herzog to speak

You're the lamest group of complicit shills

[Misinformation Fact Checker. @MisinfoFact]

Pauline Hanson faces criticism after comparing remote Indigenous communities to pastoralists, claiming "it's their choice to live in those areas." Critics call the logic flawed for ignoring deep cultural and ancestral ties to the land.

I really like the idea floated on here of the actual Pauline Pantsdown running in the next election causing disruptive & funny mayhem. @PPantsdown ?

David Speers recaps One Nation's Pauline Hanson's appearance at the #NPC.

❓ How does he NOT know about Hanson's racist maiden speech?
❓ Govt Spending? Barnaby Joyce $80 million Watergate. 💰🌊
❓ How does he still have a job? Sunk Cost fallacy?

@andrii_sybiha Thank you, Minister Sybiha. We greatly value our partnership with Ukraine as we work together for a just and lasting peace. 🇦🇺🤝🇺🇦

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

I welcome Australia’s announcement at the UDCG meeting of a $70 million contribution to PURL.

This is a strong demonstration of Australia’s continued commitment to strengthening Ukraine’s resilience and supporting a lasting peace.

I thank the Australian Government and the Australian people for standing with Ukraine. We deeply value our partnership and Australia’s steadfast support.
