Liberal leader Angus Taylor and MP Andrew Hastie have sparked anger by failing to vote against Labor's Digital Duty of Care bill, despite previously warning it would result in "1984 levels of censorship".

"Spineless"

As expected, Top Liberals didn’t even bother to show up to vote against the Censorship Bill.

Not sure who the Liberals represent but it’s not Australians.

For years they have FAILED to provide any opposition to Labor’s Communist style tyranny & have ignored the wants, needs, concerns & interests of everyday Aussies.

I blame the Liberals just as much as Labor now.

They let this happen & they never even tried or bothered to show up when it counted.

[Pauline Hanson 🇦🇺 @PaulineHansonOz]

Last night, David Farley MP brought the following matters to the attention of the leadership of One Nation.

Over the past few weeks, the Prime Minister has met with David privately. The Prime Minister initiated these meetings. This week, David received a letter from the Prime Minister stating that he had allocated David a personal staff position outside of One Nation’s unresolved staffing request. David did not request this allocation of staff. No reason was provided by the Prime Minister for the provision of this staff.

Following these discussions, senior ministers raised grant funding under the Sustainable Communities Program for the Murray Darling Basin. David did not initiate the discussion regarding this program.

Taken together, these actions have left David and One Nation deeply concerned that the government is seeking to use taxpayer funds to exert undue political influence over politicians.

We have decided to expose these grubby dealings because the public deserves to know what the Albanese Labor government is doing behind closed doors.

For months, One Nation has been fighting for fair, transparent and objective allocation of staffing for parliamentarians. The Prime Minister has refused to respond to these calls.

Yet astonishingly, this week the Prime Minister provided a letter to David directly granting a Personal Adviser 3 position, paid up to $200,000, effective immediately. David has rejected this unsolicited allocation.

Last month, One Nation Senator Pauline Hanson stood alongside the Member for Fowler, Dai Le MP and Senator for Western Australia, Fatima Payman to demand consistent, transparent and independently determined staffing allocations.

They stood together despite their political differences because this matters to our democracy. The Prime Minister should not personally control the resources available to his political opponents.

While this power has always been open to abuse, it has, in our view, been weaponised to an unprecedented extent under this Labor Government and this Prime Minister. One Nation introduced our Safe Staffing Guarantee Bill to stop this abuse of power. Labor, the Coalition and the Greens all united to block the Bill.

This is the type of politics that Australians are sick of. The Prime Minister is trying to drag One Nation down to his level of grubby politics. One Nation will have no part of it.

The second issue that needs to be brought into the open is the way in which the Albanese Labor government appears to be using public grant money to achieve their political objectives and paper over policy failures.

The government has directly raised the prospect of grants available to the Murray Darling Basin under the Sustainable Communities Program as compensation for water buybacks.

David and One Nation will always fight for Farrer’s fair share of public resources, but we will never allow grant funding to buy cooperation or silence on the issue of water advocacy, implicit or otherwise. We know the number one thing Farrer and other basin communities need is water. One Nation does not accept that devastating water buybacks are a foregone conclusion. A future One Nation government will end water buybacks.

This government’s actions are the type of broken politics that undermines the confidence Australians have in our democracy. It’s what Professor Anne Twomey has described as ‘grey corruption’.

One Nation will always stand up for the interests of all Australians. We won’t be bought or divided by this Prime Minister.

Anthony Albanese previously called for the National Anti Corruption Commission to go after other politicians - now he’s trying to block it from locking into him.

Anthony Albanese once called politically allocated grants corrupt and promised a National Anti Corruption Commission to stop “blatant rorting.”

His government then directed three quarters of its infrastructure grants to Labor seats, including $6.05 million to the Marrickville Golf Club near a home he owns.

He told Parliament the money was for sewerage works.

That was a lie.

This is the same man who said of Bridget McKenzie and the sports rorts scandal:

“She’s got to go, this is just red hot, this is just a rort, it fails the pub test”

He demanded ministers resign for less.

He rejected the same deflections when Scott Morrison used them. Now the NACC he created is buried in delays, and the audit office that exposed previous rorts is running in deficit.

People have stood down for far less.

Australia no longer trusts a leader who spent years calling this behaviour corrupt, then got caught doing it.

How does he still hold the top job?

[Dr Joanna Howe @ProfJoannaHowe]

If roles were reversed, and it were a male politician making this face whilst a woman was addressing the parliament, it would kick off an "urgent national conversation" about how disrespectful Australian men are to women, misogyny, the political boys club, male entitlement, the manosphere, rape culture, how this perpetuates male violence against women, and on, and on, and on. Albanese would probably order a Royal Commission. When @sarahinthesen8 does it to @senatorbabet there's crickets.

[Kat A 🌸 @SaiKate108]

The look of sheer exasperation on Senator Alex Antic’s face says it’s all.

ATAGI who approved the Covid vaccine for pregnant women in June 2021 now has nothing to say for itself when confronted with the fact Fauci knew 5 months earlier there were concerns over miscarriage and the LNP’s crossing the placenta.

And when Antic confronted them with the 300 miscarriage reports - silence.

It’s clear they have absolutely no interest in looking at the safety profile of any of these shots.

What a disgrace.

🟠 ANDREW HASTIE ACCUSED OF ACTING AS A DOUBLE AGENT AFTER VANISHING FROM VOTING ON LABOR'S CENSORSHIP BILL WHILE VETERAN SAM BAMFORD AND PODCASTER BIG CHOCKY CALL OUT HIS PARLIAMENTARY BETRAYAL 🟠

Andrew Hastie spent weeks strutting around TV studios playing the battle-hardened warrior for free speech, calling Labor’s Digital Duty of Care bill "1984 levels of censorship." But when the division bells rang on Wednesday morning, the Member for Canning was nowhere to be seen.

Hansard records show Hastie and Angus Taylor both missed all eight votes without even organising a pair, giving Labor a completely free pass to steamroll the bill through 96 to 38.

When Afghanistan combat veteran Sam Bamford (2 Worlds Collide podcast) asked Hastie on Instagram where he was during the vote, tough-guy Hastie blocked him within hours.

Independent commentator Big Chocky called him out even further, dropping a story signed "Little Chocolate", a nod to their enlistment row and putting Hastie’s own website transcripts on display proving he bragged on 14 and 19 October about opposing the bill before ghosting his own followers who were counting on him to go into battle for them.

For a bloke who loves posturing with his copy of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War on his parliamentary desk, he seemed to miss the basic rule about showing up to the fight.

This is exactly why voters are turning to One Nation.

The majors are two wings of the same bird; Labor pushes bad policy through the front door, while the Coalition pretends to fight it while holding the back door wide open. You can't trust major party careerists who vanish when you need them.

If Sydney University can find the money to pay Ardern, it’s time to take a chainsaw to the $1,237 million they received from taxpayers last year alone.

It’s sickening that hard working Australians are now being forced fund Ardern‘s luxury lifestyle.

[Carlz J Söda @carlzjsoda]

I won't lie, it boils my blood watching students in my hometown of Melbourne march against capitalism, because it tells me the people teaching them, and the people deciding what gets taught, have conveniently forgotten some fairly recent history.

So consider this a refresher on what happens when a country votes its way into socialism and then has to shoot its way out of it.
This is part one of three on Joseph Stalin, the seminary boy from Georgia who started out organising bank robberies for the Bolsheviks and ended up controlling every job in the Communist Party, long before anyone realised what he was going to do with that power. Part two drops tomorrow, and that's where it gets sinister.

If you'd like to keep this series going, you can shout me a coffee through the link in my bio, which is a lot more than Stalin's guards ever did for him.

[One Nation Australia @OneNationAus]

The supposedly impartial Director-General of the ABC, Hugh Marks, has not for the first time taken aim at One Nation. This time, over Bluey! He cannot hide his contempt for One Nation and its voters. He exists in a parallel universe from most everyday Australians. That would be his right if it wasn’t for the fact that he’s head of our taxpayer-funded national broadcaster.

[Ζoë @zoecabina]

In April this year, the Department of Home Affairs approved a $110,000 grant to @ozarabmedia Pty Ltd under its Independent Multicultural Media Transformation and Sustainability program.

The program’s stated purpose is to “support social cohesion” and help independent multicultural outlets move to digital media 🌈🦄

Here is the "social cohesion" they are doing with our money 👇

There are plenty more examples of this, but I caught this one yesterday.

Here they platform Sydney-based rabid antizionist Taveet Sinanian, who says that on October 7 he was disturbed not by women being raped, elderly people being burned alive, fathers being murdered in front of their kids, old and young people abducted into Gazan tunnels...

No, he wasn't upset about that. He was disturbed because he predicted the Jews would retaliate....

Imagine being such an out-and-proud racist and still calling yourself a human-rights activist.

Idk wtf our money is going towards this trash. How does this improve Australia or social cohesion?

An Open Letter to the University of Sydney @Sydney_Uni @mscott

Regarding the appointment of Jacinda Ardern as Professor of Practice

Dear Professor Scott,

I read with absolute disgust that the University of Sydney has appointed Jacinda Ardern as Professor of Practice, where she will apparently be sharing her wisdom on empathetic leadership, social cohesion and civic trust.

You cannot be serious.

You are quoted as saying:

"Dame Jacinda led New Zealand through events of profound consequence and her leadership demonstrated that empathy and resolve do not compete with one another; each can strengthen the other."

Appointing Jacinda Ardern to teach social cohesion is rather like appointing Jeffrey Dahmer to teach a course on wellbeing, or Jimmy Savile to run the local daycare centre. The sheer absurdity would almost be funny if the consequences of her leadership weren't so hideously tragic.

My name is Alia Bland. I am a co-founder of Voices for Freedom, an organisation established in New Zealand in 2020. For years, we stood alongside tens of thousands of ordinary Kiwis whose lives were torn apart by the policies of Ardern's government.

While the international media fawned over her kindness and compassion, we were dealing with the wreckage.

At the height of the COVID response, we were receiving upwards of 1,000 emails a day. Desperate people reaching out because they had lost their jobs, their incomes, their homes and, in many cases, their will to live.

People nearing retirement were forced to sell family homes they had spent decades paying off. Some are still living in caravans five years later.

Marriages collapsed. Families fractured. Lifelong friendships were destroyed. People who had served their communities for decades were suddenly treated like lepers because they declined a medical procedure.

Some of the people who came to us had spent their entire lives believing New Zealand was a decent, fair-minded country. Watching that belief crumble, and seeing what it did to them, was heartbreaking.

I cannot adequately describe the anguish in those emails. The desperation of parents wondering how they would feed and house their families. The humiliation of hardworking people being marched out of professions they loved. The despair of people who had done everything society asked of them, only to discover that their own government considered them disposable.

And presiding over it all was Jacinda Ardern, smiling for the cameras and telling the world how kind New Zealand was.

Kind? For whom?

Her government deliberately created a two-class society. Ardern herself acknowledged it publicly. New Zealanders were excluded from workplaces, businesses, events and ordinary social life. People were coerced into accepting a medical intervention under threat of losing their livelihoods.

And those who suffered adverse reactions to the COVID vaccines faced another nightmare. We fought for vaccine-injured New Zealanders whose lives had been devastated by serious physical harm, while many struggled to have their injuries acknowledged or receive adequate support.

The government's public assurances about vaccine safety deserve particular scrutiny. Officials knew about the myocarditis risk, including among young people. We have examined the records. Yet people raising legitimate questions about those risks were routinely dismissed and vilified.

The damage went far beyond lost incomes and broken relationships. An enormous number of New Zealanders lost faith in the very institutions they had trusted their entire lives. Government, health authorities, education, police and the media. That trust has not magically returned because Ardern has moved on to more prestigious surroundings.

While her government was busy marginalising people, we were building a nationwide support network to help them survive.

Voices for Freedom grew to more than 100,000 people on our mailing list, many representing entire families. More than 45,000 people signed up to our local groups across the country, which are still operational today in 2026. We established industry groups to help people fight for their careers, provided support through employment disputes and legal challenges, organised practical assistance and hand-delivered millions of flyers to households throughout New Zealand.

We did this while facing censorship, public vilification and government surveillance. Official records obtained since have confirmed that our activities and communications were being monitored and reported on.

Our volunteers gave everything they could to help people who had been abandoned by the institutions meant to protect them.

And now the University of Sydney wants to hold up the woman responsible for overseeing this period as a shining example of empathy and social cohesion?

It is sickening.

Professor Scott, did anyone at your university bother to speak with the people whose lives were destroyed under Ardern's leadership before celebrating her appointment?

Have you spoken to the former nurses, teachers and police officers who lost their careers? The families who lost their homes? The people still suffering from vaccine injuries? The parents whose children no longer speak to them?

Or did you simply swallow the carefully cultivated international image of Saint Jacinda, the compassionate leader who saved New Zealand?

I wonder whether you have considered why this internationally celebrated former prime minister now lives in Australia rather than the country she once led. The depth of hostility towards her among many New Zealanders should give you pause.

Because I can assure you, there is another side to that story. And there are hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders who live with the consequences.

I have no objection to universities studying Ardern's leadership. In fact, I would encourage it. There is an enormous amount to learn from what happened in New Zealand between 2021 and 2023. Like, what not to do...

But presenting her as someone uniquely qualified to teach empathy, social cohesion and civic trust, without acknowledging the extraordinary human suffering that occurred under her leadership, is an insult to the people who paid the price.

We were there, Professor Scott. We saw what happened. We picked up the pieces. We are still picking them up.

Some of those people will never recover what they lost.

And the woman who presided over it all gets a professorship in empathy.

What an absolute disgrace.

Yours sincerely,

Alia Bland

Clennell vs Ashby

So here’s the background…. Clennell criticized the cartoons, which all One Nation members will find infuriating, me included

As a consequence Pauline pulled out of going on his show, and Ashby said Pauline thought Clennell was a “dick”

Clennell threatened to go public about Pauline pulling out, and Ashby said sure go ahead, but make sure you tell your viewers Pauline thinks you’re a d^ckhead

Now Clennell is asking for people to leak dirt on Ashby!

The Labor party has established a $386 million slush fund under it's multiculturalism grants program.

94% of the grants last year went to labor seats. $45 million went to Tony Burke's electorates alone.

What's the departments response to this obvious pork barreling? "They're election commitments"

It's not good enough. Australians are sleeping on the street and these are the rorts this government is spending your money on.

Albo: One Nation cartoon of me getting hit by a bus = “promotes division and violence.”

Albo: ABC airing a fantasy of sexually violating Gina Rinehart with a stick, stirring her guts into a sausage roll and killing her = merely “inappropriate.”

No demand for ABC reform. No criticism of the Ombudsman that cleared it. Just another defence of Anika Wells protecting the ABC’s sacred “independence.”

Hypocrisy, thy name is Albanese.
