People keep telling me that Pauline Hanson stands up for ordinary Australians.

So let’s look at the record.

Pauline Hanson and One Nation have voted against or opposed:

• Increasing JobKeeper payments during the pandemic
• Raising the Newstart/JobSeeker rate for unemployed Australians
• A Royal Commission into violence, abuse and neglect of people with disability
• Making TAFE fee-free for more Australians
• Greater funding for universities and education
• Measures aimed at improving housing affordability
• Expanding access to subsidised childcare
• Measures aimed at reducing the gender pay gap
• Stronger protections for Aboriginal heritage sites
• Increasing diversity in media ownership
• Environmental protections for forests and threatened ecosystems
• Stronger action on gambling harm

At the same time, Hanson has supported:

• Tax cuts that disproportionately benefited higher-income earners
• Expanding welfare cashless debit card programs
• Greater political intervention in research funding decisions
• Reductions in some welfare supports

Then there was the infamous attempt by One Nation figures to seek support from the US gun lobby to weaken Australia’s gun laws after Port Arthur.

So the question remains:

What has Pauline Hanson actually delivered that has improved the lives of ordinary Australians?

After nearly three decades in politics, where are the major reforms? Where are the new hospitals, schools, infrastructure projects, wage increases, housing programs or worker protections she can point to?

A lot of outrage. A lot of headlines. A lot of blame.

But very little delivered.

Australians deserve more than slogans. They deserve results.

How in the bone-cracking fuck do we live in a world where people are right now more incensed about a couple of torched ambulances than they’ve ever been about tens of thousands of slaughtered Palestinians?

Still trending at no.2!

The outpouring of support for Prime Minister Albanese over the last few days, has been breathtaking.

Australia has shown hate will always be defeated.

We will not be divided by the divisive and mean spirited of this country.

Wayne Swan nails the hypocrites booing the PM at Bondi!

[JayJay @JayJay91341991]

Anthony Albanese does not deserve the treatment he is receiving from the disgusting media, the RWNJ’s and most of all the putrid LNP.

If you support our Prime Minister, please
type #IStandwithAlbo in the comments section.

Thankyou! 😊

[The Cockatoo @DarcyAmaroo]

Albo has been attacked by Netanyahu, criticised by the Liberals and the Media and booed by some attending the Memorial Service.
In the face of this undeserved attack Albo has acted with dignity and restraint.
I stand with Australia’s PM.

If you support Ferguson and Tingle please like and share this post
In my opinion these two are balanced when reporting or hosting shows .. Media like @SkyNewsAust wants to control all media, we must not let them . #auspol

[Rick @colonelhogans]

What did Albo do stop Bondi?

Why the fuck didn’t Netanyahu, with the most revered intelligence agency on the earth, along with one of the world’s most powerful military machines…..

Stop the October 7 attack??

Amazing how the media never asks that question!!

This is a truly excoriating and well-deserved take-down of the National Press Club @PressClubAust by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges.

You do realise don’t you, that Zionists have prevented one of Australia’s top cardiologists from working - Peter McDonald, cancelled by St Vincent’s, as ordered by Zionists.

This is Australia.

It’s not fucking Tel Aviv.

ABC’s John Lyons has slammed Israel for wiping out an average of 28 children in Gaza “Every Day. Week in, week out, month in, month out”

Lyons “There are on avg. a classroom of Palestinian children in Gaza today, who this time tomorrow will be killed by an Israeli bomb”😳#Abc

I expect as the NOalition continue to carp for the duration of their time in opposition about “Labor” government debt while espousing the virtues of their “small government” cost-cutting offerings…

…Now would be a good time to remind the coalition that our government debt got to this point largely due to past coalition governments.

“Over the past half-century, Coalition governments have added a total of $605 billion to the level of gross government debt while Labor governments have added just $406 billion”. It could’ve been worse for the coalition and Howard but for the mining boom and the selling off of our assets.

As it stands now, the Labor government debt is lower than the previous coalition government (treasurer Frydenberg) predicted it would be in 2024 under a coalition government - and in 2026 will be $147 billion lower than projected by the coalition when they were last in government.

So, basically under a Labor government - Australia is economically well positioned and well managed - NOW and into the future.

Please save this excellent article below and its links to use every time the coalition try to convince us all of their economic superiority.

Facts speak for themselves. Something the coalition and their RW media sycophants fail to understand. The coalition are NOT the superior economic managers. While they fight amongst themselves regarding immigration, net zero, nuclear and cost of living “crisis” - Labor are reducing debt, increasing the minimum wage, increasing living standards, lowering taxes and increasing our economic prosperity.

[The Noisy Elephant @TheNoisyTrunk]

#SussanLey released a video yesterday about government debt.

We don't know who advises her, but we do know that she's a numpty.

The advert is typically misleading. #Noisy corrects it.

The link to the original post by Sussy is in the thread. What's hard to believe is not that she was stupid enough to release it, but we pay her media advisers who actually let her. DUMB.

[Barbara Pocock @BarbaraPocock]

Assume Sussan’s war on dependency will extend to the $14.9 billion of annual subsidies to major producers & users of fossil fuels? And end the dependency of wealthy property investors on annual tax breaks of $12bn? Or is she just talking people with disabilities?

[💧Mary Kostakidis @MaryKostakidis]

I’m accused of ‘hate speech’ and tied up in expensive litigation that has colonised my life, for criticising Israeli war crimes, but this, is cool and normal.

“You’re all terrorists!”,“Go back to Lakemba!”,“Get off our beach!” / “This is our beach”,“You can stick your Palestine up you’re a.hole”.“Send them home”,“White Australia”,“Deport you all”,“No dogs on the beach” '.
