Fact of the Day: Paid Parental Leave does not come out of a business's bottom line. The scheme is fully funded by the government. For employers, supporting new parents generally involves administering payroll and leave arrangements, not paying the parental leave itself.

Angus Taylor gets smashed after refusing to say if his party still supports multiculturalism
Taylor “I’ve been very clear what we’re committed to”
Journo “With respect sir, you’ve now dodged 4 questions in a row”🔥
Well done Angus. #auspol
Interesting that Pauline Hanson's daughter got a high paying, publicly funded job working for a NSW senator while she lives in Tasmania & spends most of her time promoting One Nation in that state. That's called nepotism & it's illegal.. #auspol#OneNation https://t.co/cgkkycsz21
These women support Trump, Israel, racism, genocide & depravity & they want to gift Israel large tracks of Australian land. So please don't try & tell me you are a humanitarian & have human values if you support them, cause you don't!
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.

Prof Wanning Sun, media,cultural studies UTS Syd:
"Rather than challenge the premise of Hanson’s press club speech with questions about its contents, a room of cowed journalists legitimised Hanson by looking the other way.
It proved we’re dealing with a new type of journalism"
Don't be fooled by the "polls" or the media or all the alleged supporters of Hanson that you see online. A couple of billionaires have put a LOT of money into PR and fake social media accounts to astroturf and gaslight you into believing Hanson is what Australians want. #auspol
The nerve of her. Gina Rinehart wants to flog off parts Australia including QLD’s islands to Elon Musk - for nothing in return.
And this is who Pauline Hanson takes policy advice from. 🙄 #auspol
Australia’s National Press Club now
- censors speakers
- bans media who the guests disapprove of
- ejects critics.
Time to sack the board, and replace them with people who are actually committed to free speech and remember when journalists held people in power to account.
One Nation say they like straight talk. So here it is: if you ban journalists, blame migrants and vote against workers, you’re not offering courage. You’re offering chaos. #auspol
Kudos to Sarah Martin, Sarah Henderson and Michelle Grattan for having the gumption to hold Pauline Hanson to account .To all the other 'so called' journos who gave Hanson a free pass give yourselves a slow clap.The media love fest of One Nation is truly cringe.
