Spraying roundup on weeds in the cracks of your driveway is kind of silly. Boiling water will do the same job better.

Pour it straight onto the weed and down into the crack. The heat ruptures the plant on contact and it wilts within the day. A stubborn deep-rooted one might need a second pour, but that's the whole method.

Roundup's own label tells you to keep it out of storm drains. And a driveway is basically a funnel straight into one. Every rain carries whatever you sprayed down the gutter and, in most towns, straight into the nearest creek with nothing in between.

Boiling water kills the weed and stops at the weed.

quite extraordinary to see someone who cannot even speak their own first language crashing out over non-english-speaking immigrants

FLASHBACK‼ One Nation caught begging the NRA for $10 MILLION to buy our elections and dismantle our gun laws. They plotted to use NRA tactics to shame victims of mass shootings. Absolute betrayal of Australian democracy and public safety.

Today, Pauline Hanson complained about people who have difficulty speaking English. Luckily, her speech provided the perfect example for anyone wanting to learn the language.

From “One Nation Decoded” on Facebook. Give them a follow. 👇🏻

“I went through Pauline Hanson’s full National Press Club speech.

Not a clip.

Not a headline.

The whole thing.

And the numbers are wild.

Out of around 86 checkable claims, I counted:

12 outright false claims.

43 misleading, cherry-picked or unsupported claims.

58 slogans, attack lines or loaded catchphrases.

17 things that just didn’t logically make sense.

That means the speech was not some brave truth-telling moment.

It was a misinformation machine with a microphone.

The scariest part is how polished it all sounds when it’s delivered confidently.

Big numbers.

Big claims.

Big outrage.

But when you actually stop and check it, so much of it falls apart.

The 130,000 “sleeping rough” claim was wrong.

The $200 billion Clean Energy Finance Corporation claim was wrong.

The overseas-born comparison with America was apples-to-oranges.

The climate change “hoax” line was straight-up nonsense.

The capital gains tax section was dressed up like young renters should be crying for young property flippers.

This is the trick.

Say enough things quickly.

Sound angry enough.

Blame enough groups.

Wrap it all in flags, slogans and “common sense”.

Then hope nobody checks the details.

Well, I checked.

And what I found was not leadership.

It was grievance politics running on dodgy numbers, culture war panic and emotional shortcuts.

Australians deserve better than a speech where the slogans do more work than the facts”

This is the old newspaper quote that Pauline Hanson is now at the National Press Club wrongfully attributing to Tim Fischer

The man who said it was someone called Terry Andrews

We won't see an apology from @PaulineHansonOz for her lies though about Tim Fischer

Ahead of Pauline Hanson taking the microphone at the National Press Club, Australians should know this

Journalist Margo Kingston was organised a few weeks back to ask the first Q - then was phoned yesterday and told she could no longer ask any Qs because they "had no time left"

Labor lied to the world heritage committee about spending $443M on the Great barrier reef , the amount was $200M .
The Department said it was an "error" and tried to hide that fact.
Labor is now lying to the world about the health of the Great Barrier Reef .

These brave women came to senate estimates to demand, for once, the violence of the Israeli state was acknowledged in Canberra. They came back yesterday and forced the government to start an AFP investigation into the assaults on them. Courage. Solidarity. 🕊️ 🇵🇸

Kinda glad that people said PHON had no policies and forced them to produce them/make them up. The results are giving us a hell of a laugh.

JUST IN: IRANIAN FM ARAGHCHI:

“The end of the war will not be complete without the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territories they occupied in Lebanon.

Any military attack by Israel on Lebanon and the continued occupation of Lebanese territories from now on, in our opinion, is a violation of the MoU.”
