@NinaBar52496637@TheKennyDevine@PaulineHansonOz Hey Nina - name one other politician who has missed 88% Senate Estimates, who has skipped HALF parliamentary sitting days.
YOU are paying her wages.
Anybody in any other job would be sacked.
@Mark35785935@TheKennyDevine@PaulineHansonOz Not asking for much: just that an elected (supposed) representative turns up for…ooh, let’s say…MORE THAN 22% of Senate Estimates … because, well, It’s her fucking job.
Nice for her to have a PAID holiday, though. best politician money can buy.
Pauline Hanson’s One Nation is taking money from property developers seeking profits and businesses pushing to end Victoria’s wfh laws.
So much for being the party of the battlers.
In Victoria, One Nation is backing the wealthy. 👇🏼
Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose…😁 In July 1939 the saintly Robert Menzies proclaimed that “ history will label Hitler as one of the really great men of the century…”
They are slow learners, these Tories. If indeed they learn at all.
A really, really good article by Margo Kingston in Crikey about how gina rhinehart keeps pulling the strings on her puppet, Pauline hanson

Christopher Pyne lied on ABCs' $ 0.73c report last night, claiming that Lib Crims & Malcolm Fraser were "the father of Multicuralism in Aus" & also, they invented SBS.
I've got News for Chris & its all bad!
Al Grasby was its' actual Daddy & SBS was a Whitlam Govt Initiative , like all the Bridges & other Projects Gough created, Libs cut the Ribbon & claimed credit.
1973 – The Hon Al Grassby MP, Minister for Immigration in the Whitlam Government, issued a reference paper titled A multi-cultural society for the future.
1975 – At a ceremony proclaiming the Racial Discrimination Act 1975, the Prime Minister, the Hon Gough Whitlam referred to Australia as a 'multicultural nation'.
This is why Bridget McKenzie is not in Parliament. She’s peddling anti-science diatribe at Jordan Peterson’s right-wing shindig in London.

I’d like to nominate Sarah Martin a sen /correspondent for The Guardian as
Journalist of the Year!
Sarah showed ultimate bravery in an out of control & hostile situation by being the only one to step up to the microphone to ask a highly appropriate question to well known thug!
Geraldton former pub owner Thomas 'Graham' Greenaway guilty of stealing $2.9m from Aboriginal charitable trust https://t.co/aqqCKKcN37 via @ABCaustralia attention PAULINE HANSON, here’s where some Aboriginal funding went, to a thieving white guy
Yesterday while Hanson was calling 13,000,000 workers in Australia lazy & impossible to sack at the national press club her sponsor, the worlds richest woman Gina, was sacking hundreds of workers from her profitable Roy Hill mining corporation
Just awful

Exposed: Pauline Hanson in Hot Water as official identified as white supremacist who defends Nazi Hitler Youth, advocates White Australia Policy & spews racist bile online. Says he’s “proud” to work for Hanson. Clearly fits in.
This is the rot at the heart of One Nation. #auspol
Caught on camera: One Nation caught begging the US NRA for $10M to buy Australian elections and dismantle our gun laws. They literally plotted to use NRA tactics to shame victims of mass shootings. Absolute betrayal of Australian democracy and public safety. #auspol
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”
