Pauline Hanson read it in a newspaper.

She can't name it, date it, or produce it, which, by her standards, makes it her most thoroughly documented claim to date.

[Stephen Spencer @sspencer_63]

Hansons biographer Margo Kingston says she was invited, and then uninvited, to ask Hanson a question today. Any explanation for this @tomwconnell @PressClubAust ?

[Eddy Jokovich @EddyJokovich]

Jane Norman repeated Hanson’s lie that 25% of Australians speak Arabic or Chinese. It’s actually just under 4%. #NPC

Hanson goes hard-Trump again, demanding a ban on abortion, & then attacking SBS’ Anna Henderson for asking about her intention to cut SBS. Says she’s “going to be without a job”

She’s got MAGA written all over her. Surely everyone can see that now.

[stranger @strangerous10]

He accused the women of being "professional provocateurs"

Not sure how they do things in Israel but in Australia we let courts decide, not public officials.

Attacking the AFP, attacking alleged rape victims, refusing to commit to cooperation, why hasn’t he been expelled?

If Pauline Hanson wants a 'monocultural' society she's come to the wrong place.

This land has held the world's oldest living cultures for 65,000 years. We've built one of the most successful multicultural nations on earth.

Her "one cultural umbrella" is division, not unity.

[David Shoebridge @DavidShoebridge]

Hanson says we can't have social cohesion if people speak another language.

Millions of Australians are proudly bilingual, raising kids knowing many languages while contributing to the country.

Speaking Mandarin or Arabic at the dinner table never hurt anyone. Her speech did.

[Michael Faulkner @MfAdaptability]

@DavidShoebridge @JmarrMarr Being fluently bilingual according to scholarly research, helps to protect older folks from developing dementia.

Breaking: Israeli Ambassador refuses to say if Israel will cooperate with probe into rape allegations by Aus women & attacks AFP calling their investigation “futile”, suggests a “witch hunt”
Interfering with an investigation is illegal. He should be charged, processed & expelled

#Stefanovic calls #Wilson ‘s abusive behaviour on #Today & towards a woman #AmandaRishworth “passionate.” What happens when people enable abuse & normalise intimidation & aggression, as being passionate feeds the cycle of abuse as being normal. This behavior must be condemned.

[Jeli 💉x 7 ….. VOTE YES ......... Schnauzer mum.❤️ @skyeliner]

She is talking about full term abortions.
She is a complete idiot.
We do not kill children at 39 weeks gestation.

[nordacious @nordacious]

quite extraordinary to see someone who cannot even speak their own first language crashing out over non-english-speaking immigrants

[Shane Bazzi @shanebazzi]

Pauline Hanson attacking migrants, Muslims, and transgender people won’t make your life easier or better.

Racism, Islamophobia and transphobia won’t fix the housing crisis, cost of living crisis or climate crisis. It won’t make your bills, groceries or rent cheaper. It won’t increase your pay or work conditions. It’s a tired, ugly and harmful distraction.

Hanson serves the 1%, the billionaires and big corporations, not ordinary working class people who are really struggling.

[John O’Sullivan #FreePalestine #neveragainisnow @JohnOSullivan36]

The @SBS is one of the finest TV channels in the world. @PaulineHansonOz proposal to scrap it is nothing short of cultural vandalism. And is deeply racist. @PressClubAust

[MFWitches @MFWitches]

How the fuck do we live in a country where Pauline Hanson can publicly say “To abort a baby the day before birth is abhorrent and disgusting” and not one journo jumped up to remind her that abortion at 39 weeks aka the day before birth is … murder?

Diversity is a strength of modern Australia.

And no matter what language you speak, or faith you practice - every Australian deserves to feel safe, respected and valued.

Great to talk with locals in South East Melbourne today.

"I want them to be able to speak English" Oh the irony 😲

[Dr Tracy Westerman AM @TracyWesterman]

So over this $30B myth that has literally been fact checked to within an inch of its life-any journalists going to challenge it?

Okay so let’s fund based on NEED because there’s a $1B shortfall based on health morbidity data alone for Aboriginal ppl

Pauline Hanson is a fan of funding based on need - when it comes to men’s health needs - without any irony at all

What a nasty bitter miserable corrupt woman.. If you agree please repost. 😩 @PaulineHansonOz #auspol
