Most One Nation voters don't care how insane the policy is.

But this is a ripper: the interview opens with a plan to evict 400,000 permanent residents and seize their homes for the govt.

So unhinged even Barnaby thought wtf and returned to do the interview again. All true👇

[Kos Samaras @KosSamaras]

In May, the federal budget did something Australian budgets almost never do. It touched the tax concessions that protect wealth. The response was predictable and it had nothing to do with salaried Australians.

Like these two…and the vast majority of Australians.

A registered nurse, 34, in Melbourne’s outer north. Under $90k, an essential job, still paying off the degree that got her there. Her rent is up more than a third in three years. Her pay isn’t. She did everything her generation was told to do, and she’s going backwards.

A maintenance supervisor, 51, keeping a regional NSW town’s biggest employer running. Fixed his mortgage at 2% in 2021 and felt secure for the first time. Rolled onto a rate three times higher. Repayments up more than $1,000 a month, on a wage that didn’t move.

Neither owns an investment property. Neither has a lobby, a peak body, or a meme campaign. Between them they are most of the country and in the week the budget tried, however modestly, to shift the balance back towards them, the airwaves belonged to the people they’ll never become.

The salaried majority has been getting poorer for years while the national conversation was about someone else. Those with asset power.

My latest article for the @shot_au on the Pauline Hanson grift machine

"Pauline Hanson – who thinks the Murray Darling Basin Plan is the name of her plumber Murray’s work schedule – now wants you to believe she’s going to save them."

I'm of the opinion that One Nation's core reason to exist isn't to get seats in parliament, that's secondary

They're a hard right, well funded lobbying firm that grifts and grafts to get the headlines, the donors and the electoral funding. If a candidate happens to stumble into parliament, that's more of a distraction than the aim

“In Australia, we subsidize the fossil fuel industry, and we charge our kids a fortune to go to uni.” - Australia Institute co-CEO Richard Denniss.

Dr Richard Denniss dismantles the gas industry’s favorite threat.
If taxes kill investment, why is the gas industry rushing to Norway to pay 78%? 🙄
“They are playing us for fools.” 🔥
Nationals’ Susan McDonald has no rebuttal & scrambles to change the subject. #auspol

@mattjcan @AngusTaylorMP Still waiting for one policy that will benefit ordinary Australians rather than one that plays on the fringes and just aims to shore up your vote being lost to ON.

[Dale @dire19]

@mattjcan Why the lies Matt?

[Dale @dire19]

@AngusTaylorMP A policy from the 1950s from a party stuck in the 1950s. Good luck winning votes (that you weren't already getting) with this policy.

[Dale @dire19]

@mattjcan Almost feel sorry for you Matt.

[Dale @dire19]

@Coconutdog1960 @mattjcan He says its a choice...the same way letting multiple refineries close and having our fuel reserves held in Texas was a choice his govt made.

[Dale @dire19]

@HonTonyAbbott Tony's record of being on the wrong side of history is remarkably consistent.
