The Sanewashing of Hanson Is at Its Peak.
This is how Trump came to power: platform the lies, skip the follow-up, let the headlines call it “proving her critics wrong.”
We are all watching it happen in real time.
At the National Press Club, Pauline Hanson said the following. Not one claim was challenged by the so called journalists in attendance and she continues to be unchallenged on the facts in every interview she sits.
-1. Unlike the Prime Minister, I welcome scrutiny.” Hypocritical. In the same speech she announced she refuses ABC interviews, will scrap the SBS, & will make the ABC subscription-only. The event allowed 2 hours; standard format gives 25–30 mins for the address. She spoke for 50-halving the time left for questions. When Guardian journalist Sarah Martin used that remaining time to ask about her daughter's $150,000 taxpayer-funded advisor role, Hanson called her “a trashy journalist” and banned her from all future press conferences.
• “Babies are aborted the day before birth.” Fabricated. Late-term abortion is highly restricted, requires medical approval, and occurs only in genuine medical emergencies.
• “Interest rates are heading towards 10%.” False. RBA cash rate: 4.35%. Forecast to fall, not rise.
• “There’s no gender pay gap — just women taking time off.” False. WGEA confirms the gap exists at equal hours, equal roles, regardless of career breaks.
• “$30B a year on Indigenous programs.” False. Only 18% (~$5.6B) is Indigenous-specific. The rest is the Indigenous share of mainstream services every Australian uses.
• Transgender people were compared to “militant Islam.” False and dangerous. ABS data: transgender and gender-diverse Australians make up 1% of the pop’n. There’s no body of research showing transgender ppl commit crime at elevated rates-in fact it shows transgender people are dramatically more likely to be victims of violence— assault, sexual violence, and homicide rates against trans people are well above general population rates in most studies (US, UK, and Aust data all show this pattern)
• “23% of Australians can’t speak English.” False. That 23% speak another language at home — most are bilingual. Limited English proficiency: just 3.2%.
• “The CEFC has had $200 billion.” False by a factor of six. Actual legislated capacity: $33 billion.
• “I care about the homeless and hungry.” Hypocritical. In the same speech, she backed cuts to Indigenous-specific funding — despite Aboriginal homelessness running up to 10 times higher than the non-Indigenous rate.
• $90 billion in cuts, no plan. ~$35 billion of it remains unaccounted for. No modelling.
• “I support worker rights.” False. Voted against minimum wage increases, penalty rates, criminalising wage theft, casual conversion rights, same job same pay, and the right to disconnect. Took a $100,000 pay rise while voting against a tax break for low-paid workers
• Called Australian workers “lazy.” She has attended just 12% of Senate estimates since 2016 & 53% of parliamentary votes. Paid over $200k a year
• Labor have let immigration get out of control.” False. Net overseas migration has fallen every year since the post-COVID peak in 2022-23 — 538,000 → 446,000 → 306,000 in 2024-25. She also recycled a 26-year-old ABS pop’n projection as a fresh “next 50 years” forecast

Said: This beautiful country belongs to all Australians born here and those who have joined us”- in her opening line; then spent the next 50 minutes demanding a monocultural society, comparing transgender Australians to militant Islam, inflating migration and language figures, denying the gender pay gap, and repeating the debunked $30 billion Indigenous funding myth. Welcomed everyone in the first sentence. Spent the rest of the speech defining most of them out — and offered no plan to fix anything she raised, only $90 billion in cuts.
Not one follow-up question. No source data on a single figure in the entire speech. This is what unchallenged looks like.

@macsween_prue @AlboMP @Greens You should try out the new Triggered Estates wine cask.
For those who are perpetually triggered. A real ' bang ' for your buck!

She wont thank The Advertiser for highlighting that she is now taking in ironing & one, who can't even pull her own finger (without prompting)

Hate to break it to you plus every racist on this thread that has accused me of being on the so called “grift” or “government gravy train”. I’ve Never had a cent of govt funding in my entire life-started my private business in 1998. I funded my own scholarship program. In 2019. Then work for no wages every day in that charity racking up 20,000 volunteer hours. Google can be your best friend. Or follow me around for 1 day and see if you can keep up with my output. Multiple self funded tests and Australian first programs. All personally funded.
Thanks for your racist tropes and assumptions though. And if your brother is actually a clinical psych he must be extremely proud of your racism.

@RichardC16942 @TracyWesterman You appear to be quite the fucking idiot Richo. Your brother is the brother of a fucking idiot.

When Pauline says she’s all for Aussie workers, just remember, she’s using cheap overseas labour to work on her social campaign. She really doesn’t give a shit about jobs here, she just wants your money.

@ricochet_888 @SheftzShirley Imaging being that bloody stupid you support a party that has stalled your wages for decades as they gave themselves billions in gov grants & contract as the cut housing, training, Edu & healthcare ect while adding unfair taxes & a trillion $ debt?!
Thats a big type of stupid!

What she said. RT if you agree.

[Paul - Watching RWNJ's squirm @Metforddad]

So it's the day of reckoning for Fanta pants. Will she drop her bundle at the NPC and start screaming at the Journos, or run out looking for the sympathy vote.
No matter which, it's a must see, I think.

Wyle E. Coyote, has overnight denied playing any role in the One Nation Cults' rapid self destruction/implosion.

He says that he was only middle man in the purchase of ACME dehydrated falling anvils & exploding cigars.

He went on to state, he should have learned his lesson, after the deposed LNP Crime Org.

@JNampijinpa F/N People wonder that very question, about why several Coin -Op Coconuts, chose high personal financial reward, over letting their entire ppl, have a Fair Go, by nobbling The Voice.

Labor is Tweaking old, un-fair Taxes, in order for All Aussies to get a Fair-Go.
