I'm really looking forward to seeing the continuation of the orange freight train.
One thing that would help though is spending time making sure every candidate is across One Nation policy before they hit the ground.
Unfortunately avoidable mistakes have hurt the party’s credibility recently.
Dr Bella d’Abrera’s new book Mindless puts into words what many of us have been thinking: Western schools have stopped educating children and started indoctrinating them.
Instead of teaching knowledge, history, and critical thinking, the curriculum in Australia, the UK and the US has been captured by identity politics, gender ideology, and “decolonisation”.
The result? A generation being taught what to think, not how to think.
Worth reading if you’re a parent or just concerned about what kids are actually being taught in school.

@SkyNewsAust One Nation is on an upward trajectory, the Coalition is on a downward trajectory.
One Nation is the only hope the Coalition can hold on to some form of relevancy.
They are like a drowning person too stubborn to grab onto a lifebuoy.
A Defence Minister’s job is to strengthen military capability, deliver AUKUS, manage the threats, and ensure the ADF is ready. Using a defence speech to lecture about “xenophobia” and claim that criticism of migration levels “makes us less safe” is not part of that role.
It looks like the Albanese government is using the Defence Minister to shut down debate on immigration at a time when Labor is deeply unpopular on the issue.
Perhaps it would be better for Richard Marles to be focused on whether Australia can actually defend itself, not on policing the tone of the immigration debate for political advantage. Conflating the two weakens the seriousness of the portfolio.
Australia since 2000 in numbers:
The population has grown 46% from 19.2 million in 2000 to around 28 million today, driven largely by high immigration.
Federal government debt has exploded: net debt rose from roughly $100–120 billion (just 5–6% of GDP) to $540 billion today, with gross debt now exceeding $1 trillion.
At the same time, housing affordability has collapsed. In 2000 the median house cost about 4.5 years of average full-time wages ($190,000 vs $41,800).
Today it requires 8.7 years for the average house price ($930,000 vs $106,700).
Over this period the Liberal-National Coalition governed for ~16.5 years and Labor for ~10.5 years (currently in power after the 2022 and 2025 elections).
These three trends, rapid population growth, soaring public debt, and housing that has become dramatically less affordable and have defined the cost-of-living pressures facing younger Australians.
Both Labor and the Coalition have had their chance and failed Australians, it is time for a party that puts Australians first.
Young people are being fed a heavily one-sided, alarmist version of climate change through the education system, and it often crosses the line from education into propaganda.
1. The curriculum is deliberately skewed
Australia’s National Curriculum has a mandatory “Sustainability” cross-curriculum priority that embeds climate change messaging across every subject, not just science and geography, but art, music, maths, PE, and humanities from as early as prep years.
The Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) analysed it in detail and found alarmist teaching materials from third-party activists are routinely used.
Kids are taught that their personal actions are directly destroying the planet and that they have a moral duty to become activists. The focus is overwhelmingly on worst-case impacts, catastrophe, and guilt with very little coverage of uncertainties, adaptation successes, or the costs of net-zero policies.
2. It’s creating genuine psychological harm
Recent data confirms the damage: many young Australians say climate change is negatively affecting their mental health. Psychologists are reporting cases of young kids compulsively checking weather apps in terror, believing the world is ending.
3. The science vs. the school version
Warming is happening and humans are contributing to some extent, that’s not seriously disputed. But schools routinely present IPCC projections as certain doom, downplay adaptation and technological solutions (like nuclear), and ignore economic trade-offs. That selective framing is what makes it propaganda.
The education system isn���t teaching kids “the science” it’s teaching them a moral panic.
This helps explain why younger Australians (Gen Z/Millennials) show such high levels of climate concern and strongly left-leaning voting patterns.
It also explains why Labor (and the Greens) have repeatedly shown interest in lowering the voting age to 16. A generation that has spent years absorbing this alarmist messaging in school becomes a very reliable and enthusiastic voting bloc for the so-called progressive parties.
Teaching kids to understand the climate system is fine but scaring them into activism with exaggerated doom is not education.
@ellymelly The more dangerous ideology at the moment in Australia is the Fabians.
AKA "socialism by stealth” or “wolves in sheep’s clothing”.
It explains a lot of the current administration's behaviour.
@senatorbabet Read the top line people:
"Remember this?"
A video showing UK police warped sense of priorities.
"Why do you ask?"
Did they handcuff and allow a young man to bleed out? Because of their warped sense of priorities.
I often see people quoting TheyVoteForYou website to attack some a politician or party they are not fond of.
The site is useful, but it’s misleading on bills. Bills are complex containing the main law plus dozens of amendments.
The site often labels a vote against one small amendment as “voted against”. That does not mean the MP voted against the whole bill.
The site’s simple “for/against” labels are their own interpretation, not the official record.
For full context you should always check the actual Hansard (parliamentary transcript) before claiming someone “voted against” something popular.

The crazy Giggle vs Tickle case shows exactly why women need to keep standing up for what’s right. Julia Gillard caused this mess back in 2013 when she added ‘gender identity’ to the Sex Discrimination Act. The Coalition then had 9 years in government to fix it but did nothing.
Huge respect to the brave women fighting for single-sex spaces and biological reality and great to see Senator Roberts backing them all the way.
This is a smart, Australia First policy.
Taking real equity stakes in our own gas and oil and putting the profits into a sovereign wealth fund is exactly how we should be managing our natural resources. No more watching foreign companies walk away with the lion’s share while Aussies pay the highest prices.
Spot on Senator Sean Bell.
Labor’s budget showed a real level of contempt for Australian taxpayers, using stuffed giraffe and zebra toys to explain it just continues treating us all like idiots.
While they sit in their cosy Canberra offices, they treat our veterans like an inconvenience with the $5k health cap, hammer small investors with CGT and negative gearing grabs, and blow billions on net zero while cost of living crushes everyone.
Cory really nailed it in his maiden speech. Victimhood has turned into a massive taxpayer-funded industry these days, think the endless grants for gender ideology programs, race grievance groups, and woke uni departments pushing division instead of unity.
We should all be proud to be Australians, proud of our history and culture, not ashamed or exploited for votes.
Labor’s straight-up shafting our veterans with this $5k allied health cap. It’s rationing care for diggers battling PTSD, blown knees and backs. Phil Thompson called Keogh a liar for selling it as “better support” and they booted him from Parliament.
Why? While they sit in their cosy Canberra offices, they treat our heroes like an inconvenience. They blow billions on net zero, foreign aid and bureaucracy while our veterans are left to fend on their own.
Good to see some sanity in Canberra, well done Senator Canavan stepping up with this bill to define biological sex and finally protect women’s spaces, sports and rights.
One Nation has been leading this fight for years, introducing almost identical legislation long ago.
Labor proudly boasts about their quota system and how many women they employ in Parliament, yet when it comes to actually protecting biological women, they will almost certainly vote it down.
Their hypocrisy is glaring.
