After landing at Sydney Cove it took the British just 38 years to turn their own drinking water into a sewer. How civilised.
Pauline Hanson reckons Aboriginal people are the most primitive race on Earth because they never invented the wheel.
So let's have a look at some history and see who is really primitive.
In 1788, the First Fleet landed at a freshwater creek called the Tank Stream, clean water looked after by the Gadigal for thousands of years. Governors took a range of measures to protect the stream but none of it worked. By 1826, the colony had to abandon its own water supply because it had become an open sewer. Today it runs under the city as a stormwater drain.
Tens of thousands of years of care to keep that water clean, and 38 years of "civilisation" to destroy it.
At Madjedbebe in Mirarr country, the scientific journal 'Nature' puts people on this continent making ground-edge axes 65,000 years ago. Those axes are the oldest found anywhere on Earth. Somebody standing on this soil invented them.
At Budj Bim in Gunditjmara country there are stone channels, dams and weirs built to farm eels, running for at least 6,600 years. Engineers Australia rates it among the greatest engineering works ever built in this country. It is older than the pyramids and it still works.
65,000 years, and the water was still clean, the soil was still there, and the fish still plentiful. First Nations land management was so advanced that when the British colonists arrived, they didn't even know what they were looking at.
Now let's look at 238 years of Pauline's "civilisation". 100 native species have been wiped out for good, and Australia holds the worst mammal extinction record on the planet. In Queensland alone, hundreds of thousands of hectares of bush are bulldozed every year to run cattle, which is why Australia is the only wealthy country on the world's list of deforestation hotspots.
The rivers are dying, the topsoil is stripped, the reefs are bleached, and the forests are burning. How civilised.
Europe got rich through the export of violence and theft, then built a story afterwards to make the violence sound like progress. Pauline is still regurgitating that story because without it, she is just an ignorant and bitter woman who inherited a stolen country, and is still trying to whitewash history.
Stand with First Nations people against these colonial lies.

To men who identify as women:
Just because a woman doesn’t object to your presence in a female-only space, that doesn’t mean she’s comfortable with it, or that she doesn’t know you’re a man. I know a lot of you think you pass because no one says anything, but you don’t. Women are just too polite - or too afraid - to call you out and tell you to leave.
And who can blame us? Women have been brutally assaulted on multiple occasions for trying to stand up to a male trespasser, and are regularly threatened with rape and death by trans people online. Moreover, there’s a solid chance that even if we do say something, we’ll get zero support from the management of whatever establishment we’re in, because they’re all afraid of getting mobs of angry protesters outside their business if they side with common decency.
These spaces are ours. They exist for our safety, and to protect us from sexual exploitation by giving us privacy while we conduct intimate bodily functions. Your presence in them negates their usefulness, and strips us of the protections they once offered, putting women and girls at risk of assault and violation.
Whether we say it or not, whether we comment or not, we all know that you’re a man, and we do not want you in women’s spaces, no matter what lip service some of us may feel forced to pay.
If you were really women on the inside - or even saw women as human beings - then the last thing you’d do would be to bring your male body into female-only spaces, knowing - and you do know this - that you are making women uncomfortable and afraid. Your staggering lack of empathy and your refusal to listen to any voices that don’t tell you that you’re entitled to do exactly as you please have blinded you to the fact that you are unwelcome trespassers who destroy the sense of safety that women have in these spaces.
Your utter disregard for the needs and feelings of the actual women to whom these spaces belong is beyond comprehension: the selfishness is astounding, the entitlement stunning. Women make up 51% of the population, but you think that your 1.6% should be thought of first and foremost, and given anything it demands, no matter how much harm it does to women and girls.
Women deserve to be seen as human beings, not a costume, or a set of stereotypical behaviors and preferences.
Read this and then tell me if I’m a bigot.
I am a gay man.
I believe that sex is biological.
I believe men can be whatever type of man they want.
I believe women can be whatever type of woman they want.
I believe men can be camp/feminine.
I believe women can be butch/masculine.
I believe homosexuals should be allowed to live freely, including being able to get civilly partnered and marry.
However, I do not believe in Transgenderism ideology or ‘gender identities’.
Humans cannot change sex.
I believe that ‘trans people’ need proper psychological help.
We should not be affirming delusion or self harm.
‘Trans’ is obsessed with ‘gender identity’ which is another way to say ‘sex-based stereotypes’.
No one has a ‘gender identity’.
We are either male or female.
It doesn’t matter how masculine/feminine we are or what stereotypes we do or don’t conform to.
We are all INDIVIDUALS.
There have always been a small cohort of people who feel ‘wrong’.
I have massive sympathy for those people.
I do not have sympathy, though, for people forcing me to participate in someone else’s delusions.
The modern ‘Transgenderism’ is socially engineered psychosis.
Men can just ‘identify’ as women.
Women can just ‘identify’ as men.
Women can just ‘identify’ as gay men.
Men can just ‘identify’ as lesbians.
With ‘trans’ words have no meaning.
It’s regressive, sexist, misogynistic and homophobic.
Trampling all over the right to single-sex spaces, the rights of women, gays, lesbians and everyone to legally describe themselves and to freedom of expression.
Men are adult human males.
Women are adult human females.
Heterosexual= Opposite sex attracted.
Homosexual= Same sex attracted.
Sex= The reality of being born with a male or female body.
Sexuality= The sex to which you are sexually attracted.
Sex and sexuality are immutable realities.
‘Gender’ is meaningless and ‘trans’ is delusion.
I am a gay man who believes in LGB rights, biological reality and that we can all be whatever type of people we want.
But I bet I’ll still get called a ‘bigot’.
🚨BREAKING 🚨
The courageous Sall Grover @salltweets has just been ordered to pay $20,000 compensation + additional legal costs of up to $100,000, as punishment for knowing that men are not women.
Jason 'Roxy' Tickle, seen in the video below, has been harassing Grover for five years.
The lawsuit he filed against her was based on his claim that he was discriminated against for being denied access to a women-only forum found on the app Grover developed, called Giggle.
This has resulted in Australia's legal test case for whether or not "gender identity" should supersede, and thus erase, women's rights. Today we learned that the courts of Australia prioritize the feelings of men who claim to be women over the reality of actual women.
Main Appeal Costs: Grover must pay the respondent's (Tickle's) costs for the appeal up to a maximum of $50,000.
Cross-Appeal Costs: Grover must also pay the cross-appellants' (Tickle's) costs for the cross-appeal, up to a maximum of $50,000.
When reading out the decision, Justice Melissa Perry said, "Ms Sally Grover and Giggle for Girls Proprietary Limited, engaged in unlawful direct discrimination against the respondent, Ms Roxanne Tickle, on the ground of her gender identity...
... thereby treating Ms Tickle, who is a transgender woman, less favourably than a woman designated female at birth, seeking access to the Giggle app... The appellants are to pay to the respondent a sum of $20,000 within 60 days."
"...The appellants [must] pay the respondents' costs of the appeal up to a maximum of $50,000... The cross-respondents pay the cross-appellants' costs of the cross-appeal, as agreed or assessed, up to a maximum of $50,000."
Tickle, the man who initiated the complaint, has been playing on a field hockey team for females - where he has said the youngest player is 15 - while also sharing photos of himself using the women's change room.
On his personal Instagram account, Tickle has also shared photos of his underwear and dilators, jokes about sex toys, and as well has posted several cartoons drawn by a Canadian transgender diaper fetishist.
The transgender movement enables the worst and most perverse men to utilize the law in order to terrorize women who oppose their displays of public fetishism and voyeurism.
The demands of men such as Tickle, men with sexual pathologies, are taken seriously by the courts while women who oppose them are publicly slandered. Gender identity ideology reduces women and girls to a male fantasy and fetish.

I am absolutely devastated
Men who claim to be women have more rights than actual women in Australia.
It is women who are being discriminated against, not the men who claim to be us.
But in a sense, nothing has changed: we will all wake up tomorrow & men will still not be women.
YES. YES. I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS. I started a spreadsheet in 2019 tracking every category where America is number one globally and people keep asking me to stop bringing it to Thanksgiving.
We lead the PLANET in medical debt. Not the developed world. The PLANET. There are countries where "medical bankruptcy" doesn't translate because the CONCEPT doesn't exist in their language. We invented it. We EXPORTED it as a field of academic study. German researchers fly here to observe it happening in real time. They take NOTES. We are a living laboratory and the experiment is "what if you made people choose between insulin and rent." We chose. Exposed. This is the thing we're best at.
We lead in incarceration. More humans in cages than China. China has 1.4 billion people and an authoritarian government and we STILL have more prisoners. We beat AUTHORITARIANS at their own game using FREEDOM. We did it with both parties cooperating across NINE administrations. Name ONE other bipartisan project that lasted fifty years. You can't. This is our moon landing. We just don't film it.
We lead in insulin pricing. $300 for a vial that costs $30 in Canada. Canada is VISIBLE FROM DETROIT. You can see Canada from a Walgreens parking lot where someone is deciding between half-doses. The same molecule. The same manufacturer. The border adds $270 of LEADERSHIP. That's what leading looks like. It looks like a 900% markup on not dying.
We lead in mass shootings. Not per capita. Not adjusted. RAW TOTAL. We have so many that researchers had to invent subcategories. School. Workplace. Concert. Grocery store. We have a TAXONOMY. Other countries have incidents. We have a CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM with peer-reviewed SORTING CRITERIA. That's infrastructure. That's RIGOR.
We lead in healthcare spending AND in maternal mortality among rich nations. Simultaneously. We spend $4.3 trillion a year and mothers die at rates that would concern a developing nation. We spent MORE money to get WORSE outcomes so consistently that it can't be incompetence. Incompetence wouldn't be this RELIABLE. This takes PLANNING. This is an ACHIEVEMENT of systems working exactly as designed across multiple industries cooperating to extract value from the specific biological event of someone trying not to die.
We lead in per-capita spending on our military while our veterans sleep in tents. We allocated $886 billion to defense and our soldiers come home to a VA waitlist so long that some of them die on it. We spent the money. We just didn't spend it on THEM. The money went somewhere. It led the way. Just not toward the people who fought.
I printed this tweet on a 24x36 poster. It's in my living room. My wife moved out last month but she didn't take the poster so I think she agrees.
We don’t revisit often enough the consequences of science-denying MPs.
In 2006, Barnaby Joyce campaigned against the HPV vaccine, wrapped in his trademark moral panic and slut-shaming.
If Barnaby had got his way, women would be dead who are alive today.
Whenever Angus Taylor talks about “values” on #Insiders, remember he used falsified documents to try to pillory Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore.
It was fraud.
He lied.
This man is in no position to lecture anyone about values when he has none himself.
⚠️ DIE KOMPLETTE TRUMP-LISTE - HIER SIND DIE MILLIARDEN, DIE WIRKLICH GEFLOSSEN SIND!
Ich habe zwei Tage gebraucht, um sie zusammenzutragen, weil die Beträge an zwanzig verschiedenen Stellen versteckt sind. Nebeneinander gelegt versteht ihr, warum das Weiße Haus auf jede Frage mit Schweigen antwortet.
Die Quellen sind SEC-Filings, Blockchain-Daten, BBC-Recherchen, Reuters und Bloomberg. Jede einzelne Zahl ist öffentlich nachlesbar.
⚠️ 17. Januar 2025. Drei Tage vor der Amtseinführung launcht Trump seinen eigenen Memecoin. Zwei Entitäten der Familie (CIC Digital LLC und Fight Fight Fight LLC) halten 80 Prozent der Token. Am zweiten Handelstag steht die Market Cap bei 14,5 Milliarden Dollar. Allein in den ersten zwei Wochen fließen laut Blockchain-Analyse über 350 Millionen Dollar an Trading-Fees an die Trump-Entitäten. Retail sitzt heute auf über 85 Prozent Verlust. Die Familie behält die Fees.
⚠️ 19. Januar. Zwei Tage später kommt der Melania-Token. Peak 13 Dollar, heute 15 Cent. 99 Prozent Crash. Insider, die vor dem Launch positioniert waren, haben zweistellige Millionenbeträge abgezogen. Wer das war, weiß wieder mal niemand.
⚠️ World Liberty Financial. Das DeFi-Projekt der Trump-Familie. 550 Millionen Dollar im Token-Sale eingesammelt, rund 300 Millionen davon aus dem Ausland. Die Familie kassiert 75 Prozent der Revenues. Justin Sun investiert 75 Millionen und kurz darauf pausiert die SEC die Untersuchung gegen ihn. Eric Trump sagt wörtlich in einem Interview: WLFI hat hunderte Millionen für die Familie generiert.
⚠️ März 2025. WLFI launcht den USD1 Stablecoin. Innerhalb weniger Wochen springt die Marktkapitalisierung auf 2,2 Milliarden Dollar. MGX aus Abu Dhabi wickelt ein 2-Milliarden-Dollar-Investment in Binance über USD1 ab. Zufall natürlich. Die Zinsen auf die hinterlegten Tresauries fließen an, richtig, die Trump-Familie.
���️ Eric und Don Jr. gründen American Bitcoin, eine Mining-Firma. Über SPAC an die Börse gebracht, Bewertung im Milliardenbereich. Parallel unterschreibt Trump eine Executive Order für die Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Mining-Aktien rallen sofort. #Bitcoin läuft auf neue Allzeithochs. Die Familie hält Mining-Bestände, Treasury-Positionen und Policy-Hebel gleichzeitig.
⚠️ Trump Media & Technology. Trump hält 53 Prozent. Im Herbst 2025 verkündet DJT eine Krypto-Strategie über 2 Milliarden Dollar Bitcoin-Treasury. $BTC steht über 100.000 Dollar, die Aktie pumpt um zweistellige Prozent, Trumps Papier-Vermögen springt um hunderte Millionen nach oben. Niemand außer der Familie wusste vor der Ankündigung Bescheid.
⚠️ Die BBC hat fünf Pre-Announcement-Patterns dokumentiert. Öl-Futures 580 Millionen vor der Iran-Pause. S&P-Futures 1,5 Milliarden vor dem Iran-Post. Ceasefire-Trades 950 Millionen. Hormuz-Öffnung 760 Millionen. Tariff-Pause im April über 900 Millionen an Vortages-Wetten. Aufaddiert sind das über 4 Milliarden Dollar an Positionen, die Minuten vor Trump-Tweets platziert wurden. 100 Prozent Trefferquote.
⚠️ Don Jr. sitzt im Advisory Board von Polymarket. Gleichzeitig strategischer Berater bei Kalshi. Die zwei Plattformen, auf denen die anomalen Wetten laufen. Die Familie verdient an den Plattform-Gebühren, während Wallets zehn von zehn Treffer landen.
⚠️ SEC stoppt die Binance-Klage, kurz danach nutzt Binance USD1. Der Genius Act legalisiert Stablecoin-Yields, direkt zugunsten von USD1. Die Crypto Task Force wird von David Sacks geführt, einem Trump-Donor. Jede Policy-Entscheidung seit Januar 2025 landet als Cashflow irgendwo in der Familie.
Die Gesamtrechnung. Mindestens 1 bis 2 Milliarden realisierte Cash-Einnahmen über Memecoin-Fees, WLFI-Sale und Plattform-Beteiligungen. Dazu 4 bis 5 Milliarden in anomalen Pre-Event-Trades, die formal niemandem zugeordnet werden, aber auf Konten landen, die jedes Mal im richtigen Moment Bescheid wissen. Dazu zweistellige Milliarden an Papier-Vermögen über DJT und Krypto-Bestände. Alles öffentlich dokumentiert, alles mit Deal-Kette und Zeitstempel belegbar.
Wenn du in Frankfurt einen Tipp von deinem Cousin kriegst und 2.000 Euro auf BASF setzt, stehst du vor Gericht. Wenn aus dem Oval Office Milliarden vor Kriegsentscheidungen verschoben werden, wird daraus eine BBC-Reportage mit dem Wort auffällig.
Der STOCK Act verbietet exakt diese Geschäfte seit 2012. Null Verfahren. Null Verurteilungen. Das System funktioniert wie designed, nur nicht für dich.
Sechs Milliarden Dollar Cash und Paper-Gains innerhalb von 15 Monaten. Und niemand wird in den Knast gehen. Merkt euch diese Zahl, wenn euch das nächste Mal jemand erklärt, wie die Regulierung in diesem Land ungerechten Reichtum verhindert.

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.
Nothing has ever trickled down.
How in the goddamn suitcase do we live in a country where not one mainstream media outlet in Australia is reporting at present on this huge, huge huge issue?
HELLO???
#NewsCorpse
The White House is completely silent as BBC confirms a consistent pattern of massive financial spikes occurring just minutes before Donald Trump makes market moving announcements. The administration is facing severe allegations of illegally profiteering off inside knowledge.
$580,000,000 in oil futures moved 16 minutes before Trump announced a pause in Iran strikes.
Not after. Before.
The BBC just documented five separate instances of massive, suspiciously timed trades preceding Trump’s biggest market-moving announcements — oil futures, the tariff pause, Maduro’s capture, Iran ceasefire bets.
The platforms where anonymous accounts cashed in? Polymarket and Kalshi. Donald Trump Jr. sits on Polymarket’s advisory board and is a strategic advisor to Kalshi.
There’s even a law against this. The STOCK Act (2012) explicitly covers executive branch officials. Zero prosecutions in 14 years.
Oh, and the DOJ unit created after Watergate to prosecute exactly this kind of corruption? Trump cut it from 36 lawyers to 2 and stripped its authority to file new cases.
One Nation is Australia’s most prominent far-right political party, led for decades by leader Pauline Hanson. It’s akin to Reform UK and the Republicans under Trump. Think anti-multiculturalism, anti-Islam, pro-Israel and pro US wars, claiming to speak for the forgotten people while being funded by fossil fuel billionaires.
I’m excited to be launching a 3-part podcast series, starring tomorrow, 22 April, in conversation with the brilliant political journalist @AmyRemeikis.
Search for The Antony Loewenstein Podcast.
We go deep. Over 3 episodes. Looking back at One Nation’s beginnings in the late 1990s and the vital role played, then and now, by the mainstream media in boosting Hanson and her ideas.
It’ll be available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple.
This great trailer was made by @lemzakharia and Elizabeth. Series produced by Lena Helou + @lemzakharia.

When the illusion finally shatters, what’s left isn’t just disappointment,it’s total embarrassment.
The man you invested your faith in wasn’t a savior at all, just an empty act stitched together with arrogance, noise, and relentless self-promotion.
All that confidence, all those grand promises, all the swagger,it collapses into something painfully small the moment it’s tested against reality.
There’s no hidden genius, no bold disruptor underneath it all.
Just a loud, impulsive figure flailing through responsibilities he clearly wasn’t equipped to handle, drowning incompetence in a flood of bluster.
In the end, what once looked like strength turns out to be nothing more than cheap theatrics.
Not leadership,just a gaudy performance.
A caricature.
A spectacle.
And the real sting isn’t that it was absurd,it’s realizing how long it took to admit you were taken in by his bullshit.
There is something uncharacteristically refined about the Liberals’ approach here:
Rather than prosecuting a case against Pauline Hanson, they merely present Pauline Hanson in her own words and leave the damage to self-administer.
And it really does.
https://t.co/bGWEn4CIdJ
Anthony Albanese versus Pauline Hanson both entered parliament in 1996. Same year. Same starting line. Nearly 30 years later — here’s the comparison.
PAULINE HANSON
Bills originated and passed into law: Zero.
Her COVID vaccination bill failed. Her burqa ban failed — twice. Her immigration plebiscite failed. Her own website lists her achievements as blocking other people’s legislation, forcing inquiries, and leveraging crossbench power.
Senate attendance rate: 53% - and she’s a Senator with no ministerial responsibilities.
ANTHONY ALBANESE
Bills passed into law in three years of government:
✅ 43% emissions reduction target — legislated
✅ 10 days paid domestic violence leave for every Australian worker
✅ Cheaper childcare — subsidy increased from 85% to 90%
✅ Energy price caps on gas and coal
✅ $300 energy bill relief for every household
✅ National Anti-Corruption Commission
✅ Help-to-Buy shared equity housing scheme
✅ Ban on foreign purchases of existing homes
✅ $3 billion in student debt wiped
✅ School funding reform — Gonski fully funded
✅ RBA reformed
✅ Social media ban for under-16s
✅ $22 billion Future Made in Australia manufacturing investment
✅ Wage theft criminalised
✅ Minimum wages up — cumulative $9,000 for lowest paid workers
✅ Two consecutive budget surpluses — first in 15 years
✅ Electric vehicle fringe benefits tax exempted
Parliamentary attendance rate: 83% — as a sitting Prime Minister with international commitments
Same starting line.
Nearly 30 years apart.
One of knows how to govern.
The other knows how to complain.
