@PressClubAust In summary:

- you blocked Margot from asking a real question to Hanson
- Masola instead asks if Australia is being 'Flooded with Muslims'
- sponsored by weapons and fossil fuel companies
- cancelled Hedges and invited Herzog to speak

You're the lamest group of complicit shills

[Ray Gatt @Gatty54]

@PressClubAust as a former journalist of 47 years I am appalled by your handling of Hanson yesterday. You allowed her to speak for too long then limited the amount of questions. Your failure not to condemn her for her attack on the journalist from the Guardian was disgraceful.

From “One Nation Decoded” on Facebook. Give them a follow. 👇🏻

“I went through Pauline Hanson’s full National Press Club speech.

Not a clip.

Not a headline.

The whole thing.

And the numbers are wild.

Out of around 86 checkable claims, I counted:

12 outright false claims.

43 misleading, cherry-picked or unsupported claims.

58 slogans, attack lines or loaded catchphrases.

17 things that just didn’t logically make sense.

That means the speech was not some brave truth-telling moment.

It was a misinformation machine with a microphone.

The scariest part is how polished it all sounds when it’s delivered confidently.

Big numbers.

Big claims.

Big outrage.

But when you actually stop and check it, so much of it falls apart.

The 130,000 “sleeping rough” claim was wrong.

The $200 billion Clean Energy Finance Corporation claim was wrong.

The overseas-born comparison with America was apples-to-oranges.

The climate change “hoax” line was straight-up nonsense.

The capital gains tax section was dressed up like young renters should be crying for young property flippers.

This is the trick.

Say enough things quickly.

Sound angry enough.

Blame enough groups.

Wrap it all in flags, slogans and “common sense”.

Then hope nobody checks the details.

Well, I checked.

And what I found was not leadership.

It was grievance politics running on dodgy numbers, culture war panic and emotional shortcuts.

Australians deserve better than a speech where the slogans do more work than the facts”

Please share widely.
My paper has just been published in Clinical Psychologist: “Arguing the need for Aboriginal specific testing of attachment theory as a foundation of culturally informed child protection and attachment best practice.”

This paper, I believe is critically important to reducing Indigenous child removals.

The gap it documents is this: Aboriginal child removals have increased 119% over a decade. Non-Indigenous removals are down 12%. And the primary scientific tool used to assess infant attachment — Ainsworth’s Strange Situation Procedure — has been validated in more than 40 countries. Never with Aboriginal Australians.

That is not a footnote. That is a foundation missing from every child protection decision made about Aboriginal families by a workforce that is 94% non-Indigenous.

Based on over two decades of original research and clinical work, this paper presents new models for understanding culturally informed attachment — including collective caregiving, kinship obligation, skin and avoidance relationships, race-mediated trauma, and Black Identity Formation — and what it means for assessment and treatment.

The Westerman Jilya Institute has secured funding to do what this paper argues is urgently needed: validate the SSP with Aboriginal children for the first time, and build the first evidence-based attachment program designed from within Aboriginal culture.

@PaulineHansonOz Women and children are living in tents, cars and parks because violent men have left them destitute and homeless. And this is how you decide to spend donated money. I guess they can sleep under one of your billboards though.

@DJH188704373 Thank you for that. The NACC seems to just be a huge, shiny shopfront to placate the Australian public

The problem is, inside everyone's been having a lovely time avoiding doing what the Australian public expected of them

29 women & 9 children have been slaughtered in Australia this year in domestic violence events.

@AlboMP - no action.

13 Jews slaughtered in a single terrorist event

@AlboMP - RC, millions $, public ceremonies, urgent legislation, visit from president of Israel, repeated public condemnation of antisemitism, repeated public & financial support for bereaved families…

This should make everyone very, very angry.

[Simon Banks @SimonBanksHB]

If you repeat the line "death tax" as a journalist

Without making clear it is an LNP or conflicted tax adviser's talking point that has no substance in fact or law

Then you aren't a journalist

There is literally no element of the ALP's policy that supports that claim

On perusing media sources online and reading various “articles” regarding the Albanese government’s tax reforms on capital gains tax and negative gearing changes - I have come to the conclusion that the majority of the apoplectic pearl clutching is coming from RW media and RW political party sources.

Some of the RW claims: 🙄
- crime against democracy😵‍💫
- drive up the cost of new properties🤪
- an assault on aspiration and wealth creation for everyday Australians🥴
- worsen inter generational equity by making it harder for people to leave wealth for their children🥱

If that sounds like a bunch of whiny nonsense from vested interests who are already receiving past benefits of a system that was geared to increase the gap between the haves and the have nots - you’d be right.

From July 2027 the 50% CGT discount will be replaced with inflation-adjusted indexation.

So in essence, back to pre-Johnny Howard levels before he wrecked the joint and created the beginnings of the current housing crisis.

Negative gearing will also be restricted to new builds.

There is a lot more to it - but despite the backlash, the Barefoot Investor agrees that getting rid of the CGT is a good thing. “The CGT discount was a boneheaded policy that pushed property prices higher”

Now, back to the whiny RW vested interests.

According to Toilet Paper Australia, News Corp have many fingers in the real estate pie. Apart from Real Estate dot com, through REA Group their Mortgage assets include:

Mortgage Choice
Smartline
Athena Home Loans

.. and according to ACOSS - property investor loans are on average $100,000 more valuable than first-home buyer loans.

There are virtually NO legitimate reasons why the Labor government’s changes to CGT and negative gearing won’t be a good thing for the future of home ownership for first-time buyers.

It’s smart policy. It is grandfathering existing assets, there are new build exemptions that will likely increase housing supply - and there is no cap on new properties for investors to negatively gear.

Conversely, if investors don’t like it, I’m pretty sure they’ll find something else to invest their money in.

There is every reason to believe that News Corp is using its massive media presence to influence negative opinion with regard to CGT and negative gearing changes - regardless of whether it is factual and regardless of whether the long-term impact of these changes will be significant and beneficial for future first-home buyers. News Corp are clearly not here for the benefit of anyone but themselves. They have continued to profit from this wealth-fare glitch for decades. It has not only created the housing crisis, but it has driven the increasing gap between the rich and the poor.

It’s a fkn disgrace that the so-called 4th estate is no more than a propagandic arm of the wealthy and RW political interests.
