@Valley_Insights I’m am neither outraged nor concerned one way or the other about your opinion. Ling has led a relentless hate campaign against Tracie, even to go as far as make a fb post of hate on the very day Tracie was burying her husband. Ling deserves all she has coming her way 👍
Labor just put the best treatment for cystic fibrosis ( 1 baby born with it every 4 days) which was $250k a year, on the PBS so it's $25 a script now or $7.70 on concession. Thats a LOT of voting age parents breathing a huge sigh of relief right now.
Yesterday, Pauline Hanson went on record in the senate saying that she “supports the 26 weeks of paid parental leave” passed recently.
Pauline, we looked at your voting record. You didn’t even show up to vote for it, and the only One Nation MP in attendance voted against it.
Here is proof
Natalie Barr is clueless.
Didn’t even correct Hanson.
Why?!
It’s apparent neither of them know who pays for maternity leave…..
Barr is an uninformed disgrace.
This grifting old hag wants Australians to keep working into their 70’s and 80’s until they drop and not claim Age Pension.
Meanwhile Poorleen is on a salary of $350k pa and rarely turns up to work.
That’s all you need to know about this vile parasite. 🤮

Sarah Hanson-Young says it beggars belief that One Nation, who say they stand for Australia, “are running their political campaign from offshore” using digital bot factories in “Indonesia, Vietnam & India”
Calls for ON to to be investigated,
“This is foreign interference”💥💯
This was a couple of months ago now, but it’s relevant to what is going on around social media, Pauline Hanson, misinformation, fake news, AI-produced content & overseas accounts that generate the majority of this rubbish.
‘Research from ABC News Verify & The Guardian confirms that many large, seemingly grassroots pro-One Nation Facebook groups operate as foreign-run "meme factories". These networks are managed by offshore administrators in Southeast Asia (such as Vietnam & the Philippines) & are designed to monetize Australian online engagement through ad revenue rather than legitimate political support’
The abc news have identified at least 20 foreign-run pages with many linked to admins based in Sri Lanka, Vietnam & The Philippines. These pages rely on high volumes of AI-generated content - deepfakes, bogus articles, fabricated stories about political figures to drive outrage and generate interest.
The pages exist to game algorithms & direct traffic to external sites, which are profit driven.
The same techniques are used via foreign Facebook accounts using an AI Pauline Hanson to manipulate Australian users. Posts involving Hanson are generally AI images with a small number of genuine pictures that depict Hanson in a positive & formative light in events that have never happened. Philanthropic roles in the community depict Hanson as a caring individual giving money away & helping people. Other “news stories” depict Hanson taking on other politicians - usually Anthony Albanese - painting the PM in a bad light.
All the so-called news & events that are generated have never happened - but these events & imagery are being liked & shared throughout social media thousands of times by users who believe what they see without question & can’t see past the fake stories & imagery - these people aren’t prepared to research factual information that would negate this outside of the platform. Simple online searches would result in confirmation that these stories & events are not present in real life or in any news sources outside of the online platform source.
While Pauline Hanson has primarily been depicted in a positive light - Albanese has been depicted in negative events, argumentative and duplicitous. None of these events are true.
These fake news and events posts are used to engage users, encouraging emotive responses - and are more likely to induce anger and resentment.
According to The Guardian Australia, pro One Nation facebook groups appear to be run by foreign meme factories that monetise content.
‘Guardian Australia examined 14 of the largest pro-One Nation public groups with at least 8,000 members, and found most were created this year.
While some groups appear to be longstanding and set up by genuine supporters, the majority are full of content overwhelmingly fed by what digital media researcher Timothy Graham said appeared to be “a foreign-run, predominantly Indonesian, for-hire engagement farm operation”
Much of the content across these groups is designed to be what Graham called outrage or “poll bait” – asking yes or no questions, such as “Was Pauline Hanson right to scold this journo?” or “Should Sharia law be banned in the Australia?”
Other posts are reactive, with some of the accounts Guardian Australia tracked posting multiple times about the party’s “Fire the Liar” campaign. In at least one case, the text and image promoting the party’s fundraising drive was copied from a verified One Nation page’
So, pro Hanson content on social media driven by foreign players for positive pro-Hanson political content that is entirely fictitious….
I wonder who is driving this and how much of it is being paid for by Australian taxpayers?
It would appear there is much to be gained for some but not others via online fake media stories, memes and AI.

Stefanovic now enters the classic cooker career path:
Get removed, declare martyrdom, tour the grievance circuit, then spend the next few years making terrible content for right-wing fuckos who think being fact-checked is communism.
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.

@ProfJoannaHowe@PaulineHansonOz@OneNationAus 39-week abortions aren't a thing - that's a delivery.
You invented it to horrify people who don't know better.
~1% of abortions are after 20 weeks, and almost all for fetal abnormality diagnosed late.
Trading on people's worst days to push a fiction is disgraceful.
The @SBS is one of the finest TV channels in the world. @PaulineHansonOz proposal to scrap it is nothing short of cultural vandalism. And is deeply racist. @PressClubAust
