@Mathew1norma @RavenZech2 I think you will find it was the Coalition that created extra ministerial titles Labor actually got rid of them after they were elected

@Re7ardfinderJr @Cassandrasl99 Giving women their rights back? Hanson has talked about removing parental leave which quite frankly strips away a right women fought for years to obtain. Malcolm Robert’s said he would push to have abortions banned completely. Seems like they are trying to take basic rights away

It’s alright for Advance to use this kind of putrid and aggressive language with regard to “smashing” Labor, “smashing”the Greens and “smashing” the Teals like it’s a battle plan, an action and a toxicity that they are stealthily utilising every single day until it is embedded into our society to achieve a corrosive mindset in individuals who suck in their misinformation and disinformation…

It’s worse when they remind us quite blatantly here that they utilised the same negative strategy when they “smashed” The Voice…

.. and this rhetoric, this activity, this mindset goes virtually unnoticed and unchallenged by the media, by politicians - especially the coalition and One Nation..

.. but as soon as people question Pauline Hanson, her motives, her policies, her questionable political policies, her expenses and her extreme rhetoric .. when we fight back against the One Nation trolls online with our own commentators and a narrative that exposes Hanson’s political aspirations as nothing more than a populist tilt that is funded by the big end of town…

.. we are suddenly the abusers, the trolls, the malignant “lefties” who want to take down the salt-of-the-earth fish-and-chip-shop lady.

See the hypocrisy? See the gaslighting?

Not a word about Advance and a post that is beyond malignant. One of many. Nothing about their continued abuse online, their trolls and the massive numbers of trolls and bots that are in the employ of One Nation to infiltrate online spaces, communities, astroturf, abuse others and spread misinformation and toxic rhetoric.

Not a peep out of the media. Not a word from so-called journalists.

Hanson can tell Premier Jacinta
Allen to “suck it up” when it comes to abuse and misogyny.. and barely a raised eyebrow in the media.

..but when it comes to Hanson’s hurt feelings - she’s under attack, she’s maligned, she’s a VICTIM… and the media let her get away with it.

If Hanson had to put up with the scrutiny, the vilification and the vitriol that Labor does on a daily basis - she would no longer be in politics - and we would not have to put up with her.

That we are even in this position is because we have a compromised media and a toxic social media that supercharges malignancy, culture wars, hate, division and discontent.

They have pushed this agenda because it benefits themselves. They don’t want a democracy where everyone benefits. They want a world where the few benefit at the expense of the many. People like Hanson are just the vehicles they use to achieve it.

Look to tangerine land and you will see just how much damage people like this can do when they are let off their leash without a democratic process to keep them in check.

"If you had a $50,000 share portfolio five years ago...then that person would be about $1,000 over five years worse off because of the tax changes."

"But also, over those same five years, house prices have been increasing by about $60,000 a year."

@strongjaw01 @blowingtom2 Yes we do - the current tax offset for seniors means they can earn just over $52000 before paying tax. This “policy” by Hanson is just odd

[The Mediator @th_mediator]

@austin_gg The Seniors and Pensioners tax offset currently allows retirees to earn just over $52000 before they start paying tax - under Pauline’s plan they will start paying tax after $35000???

@PaulWil45615315 @blowingtom2 She has a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science - her degree literally teaches her to create and evaluate public policies but you guys want Pauline Hanson running these things who has been in Parliament for 30 years & only found out last week how to get policies costed???

[The Mediator @th_mediator]

@amandakf95 @blowingtom2 Depending upon the Arts degree you can study Political Science where you quite literally learn to create and evaluate public policies

@blowingtom2 @IncrediblyBozza To be fair to Sky News (not something I’m used to) they cut the feed straight after this statement & Laura Jayes clarified that the PM had never attended a pro Palestinian rally.
