"AUKUS is designed to bill the Australian taxpayers and enrich the US military industrial complex. You have been had Australia, sorry to tell you. And your politicians should own up it."

A week after Abbott took over the Liberals, one of his signature misogynist slogans has made a foul comeback in Victoria.

Just when you think the Libs can't slither any lower....

You want straight talking? Here it is. No jet required.
Pauline Hanson says she tells it like it is. So let's do exactly that.

- While you struggled to pay rent, the gas industry paid less tax than your Friday night six-pack.
-While your wages flatlined, CEOs handed themselves $22 billion in bonuses.
-While your kids watched 50,000 gambling ads a year, the industry donated $6 million and reform died.
-While you couldn't afford to buy a home, negative gearing handed $27 billion a year to people who already own multiple properties.

Adani donated $600k, got $400 million in forgiven royalties back. Three men and a woman now own 90% of what Australians read and watch. And the politician who flew in on a billionaire's jet told you the problem is immigrants.

The system is not broken. It's working exactly as designed. Against you.

These are the headlines the mainstream media won't run. 👇

Gotta love Grace Tame’s response to Charlie Pickering’s attack, well said & all correct.

“Charlie Pickering made a direct choice to cosy up to a man found guilty of abusing his wife, while denouncing me as ignorant. Surely I needn’t point out the irony here.”🔥 #auspol

Whoa. If you’ve missed just how nasty and twisted all this is, here’s the background.

@PaulineHansonOz As long as you continue to employ a convicted rapist as your campaign manager you have no credibility lecturing us on protecting women’s safety.

"He fought for us."

A civil court found he machine-gunned an unarmed man with a prosthetic leg.

The party that printed this sign is funded by Gina Rinehart, and led by Pauline Hanson who knowingly hired a convicted rapist.

There is no bottom.

Statement from Oscar-winning director Hamdan Ballal:

This afternoon, nearly a year after we won the Oscar, the same settler who attacked me shortly after I returned from Los Angeles--Shem Tov Lusky--again led an attack against my home and my family. Four of my family members are currently arrested and one is in the hospital.

I invite all journalists and diplomats to come visit me and my family this Tuesday, February 17, to hear about how the situation has gotten worse in the year since we won the Oscar, as it has across the West Bank. Email me to coordinate your visit: [email protected]

Two weeks ago we managed to get a decision from the Israeli court that the area around my home is closed to non-residents, but the settlers break that order and still come with their flocks almost every day.

We call the police, they do nothing. The army comes, they do nothing. Today, Shem Tov Lusky--the settler who attacked me in my home shortly after I won the Oscar last year--came with his flock to my home. My brother called the police to report the incursion. The army came first and immediately raided our house, attacking everyone inside. Then they arrested two of my brothers, a nephew, and cousin. Another brother was badly injured and is now in the hospital.

The Israeli court decision was supposed to make things a bit quieter for us. But the opposite has been true. The settlers have ramped up their harassment and the Israeli authorities have done nothing to enforce the decision, and today they joined the settlers in the attack.

As we commemorate #AnzacDay be comforted by the fact that Israel bulldozed 818 World War 1 war graves in Gaza , including 146 Australian soldiers. Israel - tainting their legacy by tainting our legacy . Lest We Forget !
