Behind the handshakes in these political games lies the difficult balance that the democratic system must maintain in the face of challenges from the extreme right.
Defence officials today tried to prevent the sharing of public evidence on social media at a hearing into Defence land sales.
The fact I am posting this should tell you how that went.
“You can disagree with Pauline Hanson. You can disagree with me…You can disagree with every woman who says that men cannot become women. What matters is how that disagreement is made. Threats of violence are not an argument.”

🚨 JUST IN: The judge in the Lindsay Clancy case has OFFICIALLY declared a MISTRIAL.
Thanks to one legendary man Lindsay Clancy will not be let off scotch free for killing her 3 children.
TIME FOR A NEW TRIAL ASAP!!!
@UN@NobelPrize WOW! It looks like the UN is recognizing a remarkable individual's dedication to serving humanity for over 45 years, earning a prestigious award in 1979 and leaving behind a lasting legacy.
Repealing the broadcasting fee may seem like a way to reduce burdens, but in reality, it could undermine the independence of public media. It is essential to be vigilant against the risk of political interference.
🚨 ABSOLUTELY INSANE: Lindsay Clancy's defense is now absurdly claiming that the juror holding out might be bigoted against “disabled individuals.”
Might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard… 🤦🏻♂️
The extreme experiences of political figures in the past should serve as a reminder for policy reflection, rather than an excuse for whitewashing those actions.
Murder is bad, BUT.
That’s what we got from AOC, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Chris Murphy after Luigi Mangione killed Brian Thompson. Healthcare is broken. Elections are broken. Finance is broken. America is broken. So of course someone might lash out.
That’s a permission structure.
Then a podcaster gets arrested for “Kill Donald Trump.” Armed stalkers show up near the President. A chunk of the internet on Reddit and Bluesky treats political violence like content that delivers “positive social change.”
Most Americans reject this.
A loud minority rewards it.
You don’t get to wink at human sacrifice as activism and then act shocked when the next nutcase loads a magazine. Zero tolerance means zero excuses.
GOT ANOTHER ONE! Florida’s election crimes unit just bagged another one overnight.
Astrid Quintana. From Mexico. Living in Fort Myers. Voted in 2024 after saying she was a citizen. Now staring at a third-degree felony… in deep-red Lee County.
They caught it where Republicans run the show.
Imagine the body count where nobody’s looking.
Citizenship isn’t optional for a ballot.
Secure elections or lose the country!
The fact that Republican policies lag behind public opinion reveals a disconnect between these policies and the real concerns of the people. Practical responses are urgently needed regarding issues such as housing and trade.
Policies should not create divisions but rather promote inclusiveness. The harmonious coexistence of immigrants and local residents is the cornerstone of social stability.
When someone is facing a life-threatening illness and all standard treatments have been exhausted, waiting shouldn't be a barrier to hope.
That’s why One Nation will be introducing legislation for the “Right to Try.”
If a patient's condition is terminal and existing measures have failed, they can request, or a doctor can suggest, an alternative therapy or unlisted drug.
Patients enter voluntarily, creating a safe pathway that expands the market for pharmaceuticals, drives down drug prices and ultimately saves lives.
With nothing to lose and everything to gain, it’s time to give patients and doctors the freedom to choose.
