One Nation is renewing calls to scrap public funding to the ABC, arguing the broadcaster “took too long” to apologise to Gina Rinehart.
https://t.co/P3EyQb2KuN
Panic stations in ranks of @AustralianLabor over growing criticism that it & @AlboMP have failed to condemn @ABCTV over its failure to apologise to Gina Rinehart. Their solution? To roll out Mean Girl Gallagher the Minister for Some Women. No doubt saying between gritted teeth that it’s “never appropriate to use threats of violence against women as entertainment”. It’s only taken her 4 days to come out from under the doona to say that. Polling on this subject must be very bad for this inept Govt to trot her out. Too little. Too late for them and the ABC.
Former cricketer, Usman Khawaja says that anyone who supports Pauline Hanson “supports racism” and is a “racist”
No, Usman, anyone that supports Pauline Hanson loves Australia and wants to preserve what made it so great for over 200 years.
We do not need 3rd world foreigners flooding the country to keep our “hospitals open” or to “clean bathrooms”
We’ve managed just fine on our own since way back on January 26th, 1788.
Maybe it’s you that supports racism for hating Australians and our way of life so much.
You may not know her yet, but you will.
Her name is #MarykaGroenewald.
She sits on the crossbench in the WA Legislative Council. One seat. No major party behind her & she’s outworking half the Parliament.
#Born in Johannesburg, South Africa. Raised by her grandparents. Moved to WA at 13 with her family & her faith. Studied Community Development & Politics at Murdoch Uni, then spent years in the places most politicians wouldn’t set foot in.
#Fostercare. #Prisons. Coordinating restorative justice programs. Running the Angel Tree Christmas Project so kids with a mum or dad locked up still got a present.
Advocating for women escaping trafficking & exploitation. Designing school programs that ran across WA, the NT & SA.
She didn’t learn about broken communities from a briefing paper. She lived in them. Then she ran for office & lost. 2016 federal election, lost. 2017 state election, lost. 2021 state election, lost. 2022 federal election, lost.
— Most people would’ve walked away. Maryka kept going.
#In 2025 she won her seat, the first Australian Christians member ever elected to any state parliament in Australia. Had emergency surgery for appendicitis one week before polling day.
#Still won.
#From day one, she’s been a wrecking ball for accountability.
She spent months pressuring the #Cookgovernment to release clinical documents on the Perth Children’s Hospital Gender Diversity Service.
#They stonewalled her.
She used the only crossbench motion she gets per year to force it into the open.
#What came out? Puberty blockers prescribed to “very young” children.
Girls under 18 referred for double mastectomies. All hidden from public view until she dragged it into the light.
#She introduced the #BornEqualCare & Protection Bill, the first of its kind in WA, after uncovering that 39 babies survived termination procedures & were left without medical care.
Between 1999 & 2010, 14 babies born alive.
Not one received treatment. She put that on the parliamentary record & demanded it be addressed.
She called out the ABC over #TheChaser mocking the assassination of #CharlieKirk.
#She questioned the *Health Minister on children dying in the Kimberley.
She publicly challenged Liberal leader #BasilZempilas to declare his position on puberty blockers the moment he took the job.
She doesn’t care what colour jersey you wear. If you’re failing the people of this state, she’ll say it to your face in *Parliament & back it with evidence.
I’ve done my research on this woman.
She’s not a career politician who landed a safe seat.
She came from the trenches, real community work, real people, real suffering & she brought every bit of that fire into #Parliament with her.
#Her motto? “Walk the walk, do the work.”
In a chamber full of empty chairs & invisible opposition, #MarykaGroenewald is leading the way.
*One seat.
No machine behind her
& she’s making more noise than parties with 10* times the resources
If you reckon we need more politicians who actually stand for something, share this & if your local member’s been missing in action, tag them & ask where they’ve been..!
— What’s your thoughts…?

Can she be cloned. A few states could do with one like her!
Nicklas Nilsson legt het verschil uit tussen rechtse en linkse mensen in een messcherpe tekst :
"Als een rechtse persoon homo is, dan is hij dat, en het kan hem geen donder schelen wat anderen daarvan vinden.
Als een links iemand homo is, dan eist hij wetswijzigingen, protesteert hij tegen alles en iedereen, en maakt hij er een politieke strijd van.
Als een rechtse veganist is, eet hij gewoon geen vlees.
Als een links iemand veganist is, wil hij vlees verbieden, de voedselproductie stoppen en protesteren voor boerderijen en pluimveehouderijen.
Als een rechtse geen wapens mag, koopt hij er gewoon geen.
Als een links iemand geen wapens mag, probeert hij ze te verbieden, verhindert hij dat anderen er een bezitten, en haat hij degenen die ze wel hebben.
Als een rechtse zich zorgen maakt over het klimaat, vliegt hij minder, rijdt hij een elektrische auto als het hem uitkomt en scheidt hij zijn afval.
Als een links iemand zich zorgen maakt over het klimaat, wil hij fossiele auto's, vliegreizen en vlees voor iedereen anders verbieden, protesteren voor fabrieken en eisen dat de staat de verandering afdwingt.
Als een rechtse zijn kinderen een goede schoolopleiding wil geven, verhuist hij naar een buurt met goede scholen, kiest hij een privéschool of zet hij zich zelf in.
Als een links iemand zijn kinderen een goede schoolopleiding wil geven, eist hij meer belastinggeld van iedereen, gelijke resultaten voor iedereen, een verbod op vrijescholen en protesteert hij tegen elke vorm van verschil.
Als een rechtse klaagt over zijn baan of werkplek.. dat doet hij niet. Hij verandert van baan of start zijn eigen bedrijf.
Als een links iemand klaagt over zijn baan – dan ligt het aan de baas, het bedrijf of de collega's. Hij eist een collectieve overeenkomst, staking, veranderingen voor de hele buurt en protesteert tegen het bedrijf zodat het hem past.
Als een rechtse ontevreden is met zijn huis of huur, verhuist hij, renoveert hij of koopt hij iets anders.
Als een links iemand ontevreden is met zijn huis of huur, eist hij een huurstop, meer subsidies, reguleringen voor iedereen en protesteert hij tegen verhuurders en politici.
Als een rechtse faalt in een zakendeal of een investering die mislukt, staat hij op, klopt het stof af en probeert hij het morgen opnieuw.
Als een links iemand op de 24e geen geld meer heeft, geeft hij de rijken de schuld dat ze te veel hebben en meer moeten bijdragen, geeft hij de loterijwinst de schuld die vorige week niet binnenkwam en moppert hij dat hij zo'n pech heeft.
#STOPWOKE
On the day of Queen Elizabeth II’s death, Mehreen Faruqi wrote: “cannot mourn the leader of a racist empire built on stolen lives, land and wealth of colonised people”
A completely expected response from that hateful demonstrably racist woman.
Pauline Hanson’s response: “Your attitude appals and disgusts me. When you immigrated to Australia you took advantage of this country. You took citizenship, bought multiple homes, and a job in parliament. It’s clear you’re not happy, so pack your bags and piss off back to Pakistan. - PH”
Justice Angus Stewart concluded the post was “anti-Muslim and Islamophobic”
Pauline didn’t mention the backward medieval death cult at all, so how can this possibly be linked with it?
It seems Pauline Hanson has been found to have discriminated against an actual racist pos based entirely on what she didn’t actually write.
What a joke. So @MehreenFaruqi had her win. Was she racially vilified? Maybe in the opinion of the court, but not in the court of public opinion. 18C stymies free speech & opinion in this country. So if anyone is offended or insulted, the poor little diddums & snowflakes will find themselves in the foetal position sucking their thumbs. Yet another example of how low this country has sunk.
“If people in Australia are scared or forbidden to freely express themselves, then those values are eroded. I am here to fight for all Australians to ensure that such a dark day never comes.”
Amen Senator @PaulineHansonOz 🇦🇺
I am disappointed that the Federal Court has rejected my appeal relating to the claim against me by the Greens’ Senator Faruqi.
My legal team and I will now closely review the decision in the coming days, with a view to commencing an appeal in the High Court of Australia.
Public discussion in Australia has become almost totally silenced by laws and rules which prevent ordinary people expressing their personal views in case some small part of our society takes some sort of offence or feels hurt or “distressed”. This has never been, nor ever should be, the Australian way.
We all need to have the courage – and the freedom – to say what we think on issues that are important to us all. Some of those views may not be what certain people would like to hear, but that doesn’t mean that they are not valid views, and it certainly doesn’t mean that people should be prevented from having a voice on topics which are critical to our country’s future.
I was incensed by the incredible disrespect that I felt was shown to our late Queen on the day of her death by Senator Fahruqi and others. I simply wanted to call that out.
For me, respect for our institutions of Government; for our collective moral compass; and for the principles – including respect for our Head of State – which together have shaped this wonderful nation, are vital attributes which all Australians should embrace.
If people in Australia are scared or forbidden to freely express themselves, then those values are eroded. I am here to fight for all Australians to ensure that such a dark day never comes.
I sincerely thank all those who continue to support me in this legal process.
Look at the Prime Minister squirm and refuse to answer questions about the dinner he attended allegedly in return for a $1 million donation to the labor party.
The dinner was hosted at a mansion in Point Piper, one of the most expensive suburbs in Australia. Disgraced former Victorian Premier Dan Andrews was also in attendance.
The organiser, Felix Lee has been subject to scrutiny by Australia's banking regulator. His parent's were chased by the ATO for an alleged $273 million in unpaid tax. The Point Piper mansion the Prime Minister attended for the fundraiser is subject to a security claim by the tax office.
Lee's father was a central figure in the 2022 inquiry into the basket case casino, having put $2.2 billion through Sydney’s Star casino including the use of prohibited Chinese debit cards.
There are allegations of billions flowing from China into Australia - this is the company the Prime Minister keeps.
The Prime Minister hits Australians with some of the highest taxes in the world, then dines with the family of a man the tax office reportedly chased for a quarter of a billion in unpaid tax.
If Labor didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any.
The ABC is out of control!
Hancock Prospecting has called for a public apology
The company has accused the taxpayer-funded broadcaster of “encouraging and normalising violence and murder” by continuing to broadcast and distribute the segment after it aired earlier this month.
I watched the segment and it was disgustingly inappropriate and completely unnecessary. The ABC is Australia’s taxpayer-funded national broadcaster. It should be held to a higher editorial standard than this. Whether you support or oppose Gina Rinehart is completely irrelevant. Broadcasting content that depicts or makes light of violence or torture directed at a real person is certainly not what Australians expect their public broadcaster to be producing.
The ABC owes Australians an explanation as to how this made it through its editorial process and at the very least, there are serious questions to answer about the judgement exercised in approving and airing this content.
Yes, Gina Rinehart has heavily supported Australian swimmers for over a decade through direct financial backing and Hancock Prospecting.
She provides millions of dollars in annual grants and lucrative medal bonuses—such as $20,000 for gold and $30,000 for world records—though athletes have faced restrictions on publicly thanking her during official events like the Commonwealth Games.
🙏🏽Thank You ‘Gina Rhinehart’ For Your Support of The Swimmers At The Commonwealth Games?
#They are not allowed to thank you.. but those of us who value your generosity .. Thank you 🙏🏽 from the depths of our hearts..
You’re a Living Legend 🥰

🟠 THE KARL STEFANOVIC SHOW JUST BLEW THE LID OFF LABOR'S $69M SALE OF TASMANIA'S BIGGEST FARM 🟠
@RennickGBR Gerard Rennick and @HestonRussell tore the Rushy Lagoon deal apart on @karlstefanovic Show and the line that sums it up came straight off the episode: "$69 million of Australian taxpayer money just helped a foreign fund outbid Australian farmers for Australian land. What are we doing here?"
The episode is backed by Tanda, the Australian owned Brisbane payroll company that signed on as the show's exclusive partner. Aussie sponsors, Aussie stories.
Here's the deal they torched. Treasurer Jim Chalmers approved the sale of Rushy Lagoon, 22,000 hectares of prime dairy and beef country, to UK fund manager Gresham House on 9 July, while Parliament sat empty for winter recess.
The plan for the farm that fed Australians for generations: 12 million pine trees, grown substantially for carbon credits.
One Nation's Lee Hanson warned about exactly this while the deal was still on FIRB's desk: "You can't eat pine trees." Nobody in Canberra listened.
Now Tasmania's Acting Premier Bridget Archer is demanding Albanese reverse his Treasurer's call, and the PM has gone quiet.
