One Nation will tell you Pauline Hanson is the only one fighting for them. “Australians first.” The whole MAGA-pitch. Here's who she's spent her life fighting against:
• Aboriginal ppl— opposed Native Title and Welcome to Country; wants to abolish the National Indigenous Australians Agency to “save” $12.5B; her 2020 “Close the Gap” speech called Aboriginal parents lazy & negligent
- Nurses & aged care workers — $20,000–$34,000 worse off under Hanson. Called nurses overpaid
. Immigrants & refugees — wants to deport 75,000 “illegal migrants,” withdraw from the UN Refugee Convention, cut immigration to a 130,000 visa cap, with no economic modelling on the cost to Aust,
• Public schools — voted almost always against incr funding for public schools, incl cuts that stripped support from students with disability
• Teachers — pushed a narrative schools have “poor academic standards” & a lot of teachers can’t read & write properly.
• Students with disability — said they don't belong in mainstream classrooms because they're “disruptive”
• Welfare recipients— supported mandatory drug testing for recipients, & when a senator opposed it, publicly used that senator's son's drug addiction against her
• Welfare recipients broadly — $90B spending-cut plan targets the NDIS, Medicare & welfare payments, with no independently costed detail on how or any alternative method to support these vulnerable groups,
• Disabled Australians— wants to scrap wheelchair-access requirements for new homes
- Trans Australians — called it a “militant force” & “subversive transgender insurgency” that “must be dismantled; said trans “propaganda” was being imposed on children in schools. Trans Australians make up 1% of the pop’n.
• Childcare workers —questioned why they need qualifications, asking why centres need “people with some sort of degree to look after a child”
• Families /childcare access — voted consistently against incr childcare support, called the system “completely out of control”
• Asian-Australians — infamous 1996 maiden speech claiming we are being, “swamped by Asians”
• Muslim Australians — Senate burqa stunt got her suspended by Parliament, called for a Muslim immigration ban, said in 2026 there are no “good” Muslims
• African-Australian communities — pushed an “African gang” rhetoric against the actual data
• LGBTQ+ Australians — opposed marriage equality
• Domestic violence victims — repeatedly claimed women lie about abuse to win family court cases
• Women's reproductive rights — pushes to roll back abortion access nationally
• Women's pay / parental leave — dismissed the gender pay gap & said women shouldn't be paid on parental leave because “they're not at work”
- pledged to sack the Sex Discrimination Commissioner and Human Rights Commission
• Rape victims — kept convicted rapist Sean Black on staff for years & defended it
• Working Australians — opposed the minimum wage rise & tax break for low-paid workers, while taking a $100k pay rise
• Casual workers; voted no to same job, same pay
• Coal miners: a deal with the LNP cost mineworkers $16M in entitlements
• Pensioners;opposed pension increases
• Renters / home buyers; voted almost always against incr housing affordability
• Journalists — banned the ABC, voted consistently to cut ABC/SBS funding, called a reporter “trashy”
- Australians who rely on global health & scientific cooperation —wants to withdraw Australia from the WHO & the UN, abolished the TGA in her spending plan, rejects the IPCC’s climate science consensus, and wants to scrap net zero and the Department of Climate Change

So; yes, Hanson is “Australia first” — as long as you're not:
Aboriginal,
a nurse,
an aged care worker,
a public school student,
a teacher,
disabled,
rely on welfare,
in childcare,
Asian,
Muslim,
African,
gay,
transgender,
a survivor of abuse,
a woman,
a worker,
a pensioner, a
renter,
a journalist, or
someone who trusts science

So who, exactly, is she fighting for?

If your idol of despair is a 72 year old red head racist, then this exhibition probably isn't for you.

But for everyone else who doesn't fear culture, then there’s a new exhibition showcasing emerging First Nations artists at the Melbourne Museum.

It's beautiful. 👇🏼

The WA Police language around the murder of two children in Mosman Park, Western Australia, is appalling. They’ve described their deaths as ‘not violent’ and the children’s health as being a likely reason for their parents to have killed them.
This is unacceptable. These were young lads - 14 and 16 years old. They deserved to live their fucking lives.
Their health or disability do not preclude them from this right. Automatically discussing their challenges in the same moment as describing their deaths as 'non-violent' just allows people to believe the killing of people who cannot make a choice as acceptable.
Framing a double murder as non-violent erases the gravity of this act. Ending a person’s life against their wishes and consent is violent. I cannot believe we are having this fucking discussion.
And do not even start me on the 'no history of domestic violence' stuff - domestic violence is one of the most under-reported crimes in this country.
Why am I needing to even point all of this out. FFS.

If Scott Morrison wants to lecture Aussies about social cohesion from overseas, he needs to take a good hard look the mirror first.

[Peter Cronau @PeterCronau]

Look what @ABCnews has called it just now:

“A bomb scare”

Calling the terror bomb attack on a thousand gathered at the Perth Invasion Day gathering, a “bomb scare”.

💥 It was a bomb with its fuse lit and it was thrown into the crowd.

▪️Not reported as an attempted mass casualty event.
▪️Not reported as an attempted terrorist bombing.
▪️And not reported as an attack with an actual “bomb” - but an ‘improvised explosive device’ or even a ‘homemade explosive device’.

💥 It was a bomb.
💥 Its fuse was lit and it was thrown into the crowd.

Why does @ABCnews continue to play down this potential lethal attack on an Aboriginal Memorial Day?

[KellieTranter @KellieTranter]

"A central part of the visit will be dedicated to official meetings with senior Australian leaders, including the governor general and the prime minister of Australia, as well as with leaders across the political spectrum."

Why? The State of Israel is a country that according to the ICJ is in breach of international law and which we should not be dealing with at all. Its leaders are subject to arrest warrants from the ICC and Herzog's statements and conduct inciting genocide were relied on by the ICJ in the South Africa v Israel genocide case.

How can the Australian government justify brushing this history and our moral and legal responsibilities aside?

Last year around the same time as the attack on Camp Sovereignty by white nationalists, I made a comment on it here condemning the actions of white-boys-R-Us.

On the same day received an incredibly vile threat from someone who went by the name of “Troy”. It was so disturbing I reported it to the police who took it very seriously. Apparently Troy was doing the rounds that day with his toxic vitriol because other women online were threatened by this persona using the same email address and similar rhetoric.

“zekctw at gmail dot com”

His account on Twitter under the name zekctw was “withheld in response to a legal demand”.

It would appear that Troy hasn’t bothered to change his email address and has popped up again representing himself as a “white Australian” on Australia Day this year.

It also appears Troy isn’t satisfied threatening women online with r*pe and death. He likes to punch down on Indigenous people as well. My defence of First Nations people after the Camp Sovereignty attack was likely the trigger for his toxic abuse of me last year.

His message to Indigenous Australians is here for all to see. It seethes of hatred and vitriolic spite that is likely manifested in the white nationalist movement. It is hate speech and should be reported.

If Troy keeps on using the same email address for his unhinged rants he should be easy to find.

I also have to wonder about the mobile phone number that has been included in this message. He wouldn’t be that stupid, would he?

The numbers under the mobile number are also interesting.

A Spanish scientist have cured pancreatic cancer in mice. The most deadly cancer out there.

People ignoring it and making fun of his birth defect.

A cure in animal models is a huge step closer to a possible cancer treatment in humans.

Thank you, Dr. Mariano Barbacid!
