New video uploaded: ABC's missing 38 seconds โ Pauline Hanson speech mysteriously edited
Watch here:
Rob McKnight lines up the ABC's broadcast of Pauline Hanson's National Press Club address against Sky News, frame by frame โ and exposes a 38-second jump that the national broadcaster says never happened.
The ABC's official line: the speech was broadcast live, unedited, and not on delay โ just a brief interruption to the audio feed. But the side-by-side comparison tells a very different story, with the ABC's vision visibly skipping forward in time while Sky News plays out in real time.
ABC denies the speech was delayed or edited
Side-by-side comparison reveals a clear 38-second jump
Hanson herself even has time to remove and replace her glasses during the gap
ABC says full unedited version is available on iview and YouTube

๐ THE ABC CUT 38 SECONDS FROM HANSON'S PRESS CLUB SPEECH ๐
A side by side comparison of the ABC and Sky News broadcasts of Pauline Hanson's National Press Club address shows the public broadcaster cut roughly 38 seconds from her speech, leaving the aired version jumping mid sentence into a string of disconnected numbers.
WHAT HANSON ACTUALLY SAID
''35% of parents said their children had gone to school hungry. How can we hold our heads up? How can we, as members of Parliament who were supposed to represent the people of this nation, allow that to happen? It is disgraceful. And yet this Albanese Labor government cannot help our own people here, but keeps bringing in more into the country, and floods this country time and time and time again.''
WHAT THE ABC AIRED
"I think this is very important, what I've just said, and I want you, the people here, and the people watching this. 35%... 59% said they're children."
The cut removed the entire link between the child poverty statistic and her point about immigration. What aired in its place doesn't even parse as a sentence.
THE QUESTION
This is a broadcaster funded by every Australian taxpayer, including the ones who vote One Nation. When it edits a sitting senator's words into incoherence and airs the result as her national address, the debate about how the ABC spends public money stops being abstract.

The CGT Tax Grab They're Hiding
The capital gains tax changes are worse than anyone realized. The actual tax rate is 32% including Medicare levy. And here's the kicker: it's a flat 32% regardless of your income. Zero taxable income? Still 32%. You can't reduce it with super contributions. You can't reduce it with charity donations. The only exception? Pensioners.
Self-funded retirees are being hammered while the government tries to rush it through Parliament before people figure out what's really happening. Spread the word. They're counting on you not noticing.
Pauline Hanson is not a good public speaker, but she is saying things that will appeal to a huge chunk of this country and I think her lack of charisma will actually help her maintain the appearance of being "one of us" rather than part of the political class.
All the lefties bleating about how Paulines National Press Club appearance was
Embarrassing
Cringe
Low IQ
Dog Whistling
Racist
and all the phobes...
Yet GetUp felt threatened enough by it to hijack it.
#auspol#OneNation
The Guardian Australia published a false report claiming One Nation hired a policy development officer who had defended the Hitler Youth, weeks after admitting to using photos which made Pauline Hanson appear more "sinister".

Today's failed Getup stunt against Pauline Hanson could have just as easily been an act of violence by a mentally ill activist. As a security expert of 30+ years I can say @PaulineHansonOz deserves proper protection by the AFP, ASIO and state police. But speaking from experience as a Jewish Australian I suspect she won't get it...
Right about now, you're probably wondering to yourself 'what kind of truly deranged imbecile with zero respect for democracy and zero awareness of self-harm would do something like this?'
And the answer is...any human who could fuck an animal with a face like this
(shit, I've done it again)
Corrupt Labor's Propaganda Wing scribe shilling for all she's worth before Pauline Hanson tells her to step the fuck off at the National Press Club conference.
@IfindRetards
@PaulineHansonOz The left have shown that they take you seriously via their stunt today. I'm concerned they will stop at nothing and an attempt will be made on your life, a la Trump and poor Charlie Kirk. Stay safe and secure, don't underestimate their hatred for you and your beliefs.
Journalists like to pretend they are neutral but they organised to have a protest banner planted at the National Press Club before Pauline Hansons speech.
@PressClubAust is a rabble, there shoul be resignations.
Thoughts about the protest sign dropping at the Press Club.
If someone at the Press Club knew about it, we have a rabid activist Fourth Estate.
If the someone at the Press Club didnโt know about it, can we be confident in Pauline Hansonโs safety at events?
#auspol#NPC
After the banner debacle and the attempted gotcha question from the Guardian moll I've donated (3rd time) to ON's Fire the Liar campaign, I suspect many others will do the same
