Pauline Hanson is so “Australia First” that she outsources Aussie jobs to the Philippines. You CANNOT make this shit up.

This woman is deranged. LOWER CLASS AISTRALIANS??? = LOW PAID = SQUANDER their money - WTF???? She uses the words "And the lower class Australians, okay, the ones who are not on high wages..." Oh dear, she's going to dig a fucking hole right there. These are "The battlers" she cultivates [Farms] for support. OR she is specifically targeting the #unemployed who actually don't benefit from the tax cuts and live on an income below the poverty line. Meanwhile, SHE got a $105,000 PAY RISE THIS financial year. Pauline Hanson wants you to believe middle-income earners are forgotten, while she pockets: → $349K a year, →enjoys free luxury flights, → Private car paid for →Exceptional superannuation → Huge expense account →and cries about tax cuts that handed her $9K annually. Newsflash, Pauline: Middle-income earners DO get →Medicare, →tax cuts, →childcare subsidies, →and free hospitals. The only thing they don’t get? →A private jet →and a billionaire sugar mummy to bankroll their lifestyle. Maybe instead of whining about "squandering," you should explain why you’re against policies that help the very people you claim to represent. Or is this just another One Nation con job? THIS IS WHAT SHE SAID: They WANT ME [Oh dear, you're hardly ever at work] to forego tax cuts to give it more to them so they can just squander the money. And the LOWER CLASS Australians, okay, the ones who are not on high wages, they have tax benefit cuts A and B, they have health care, they have prescriptions, they have rental assistance, they have plus, plus, plus. But the middle-income earner [She's NOT a "middle income earner"] doesn't get that. You know, even childcare, the billions that goes into childcare, where's the accountability for that? I have had a gutful. ______ We have had a GUTFUL of you pauline, lying to the base that got you a seat in Farrer, lying to the BATTLERS all while becoming a multi-millionaire by the taxpayer. #PaulineHanson against the poor, against the worker, against #Pensioners #Jobseeker

Guess who got a pay rise of over $107,000 since November last year? Go on #Batters, WHO? Which SENATOR in Australia got an EXTRA $2,057.69 per week - Not pay but INCREASED PAY? Or for you #pensioners who get paid fortnightly, she gets an EXTRA $4,115.38 per fortnight, yes, ON TOP of her 2025 salary - Since November. Yes, darlings, the VERY SAME PERSON who voted against increasing the minimum wage, against increasing #Jobseeker support. The same person who is MISSING from parliament nearly HALF the time. GUESS. WHO.

Let’s put that into perspective: Pauline Hanson received a pay rise worth around $100,000 a year — a 42.5% increase — while reportedly attending only 53% of Senate votes. At the same time, she opposed a pay rise of around $3,000 for some of Australia’s lowest-paid workers. A six-figure increase for politicians, but objections when working Australians get a modest boost to help with rising costs. Where’s the media outrage? Where’s the scrutiny? #auspol

🚨Pauline Hanson says minimum wage workers should not receive a pay rise Speaking on Sky News, Pauline Hanson argued that Australia’s lowest-paid workers should not receive a wage increase, claiming rising electricity prices and business costs are placing pressure on employers. The comments come ahead of the Fair Work Commission’s annual minimum wage decision, which affects around 3 million workers. 📊 ONE NEWS AUSTRALIA ANALYSIS From an economic perspective, many economists would challenge Hanson’s argument. While businesses face higher costs, wage growth that consistently remains below inflation reduces workers’ purchasing power. When low-income workers have less money to spend, consumer demand can weaken, which can also hurt small businesses. Research generally finds that moderate increases in minimum wages do not necessarily cause large job losses, particularly in periods where labour markets remain relatively tight. Supporters of wage increases argue that workers should not experience declining living standards while the economy continues to grow. Critics of Hanson’s position also note that minimum wage earners are among the Australians most affected by housing, grocery and energy costs, making real wage growth important for maintaining living standards. 🗣️ ONE NEWS AUSTRALIA VIEW At One News Australia, we believe any discussion about wages should balance the needs of workers and businesses. However, asking Australia’s lowest-paid workers to absorb rising living costs while their wages fall behind inflation risks placing the burden of economic adjustment on those least able to afford it. #auspol

They are promoting Pauline as Australia's Trump. Pauline will be controlled and directed by those same powers that direct Trump and in the UK, Farage, is that what we want for Australia?

Hanson’s attendance at work is much, much worse than we thought. As it turns out, she attends Senate estimates 12% of the time… …in the last DECADE.

Australia now has the world’s strongest economy and some of its weakest economic reporting. Coverage of the latest Federal Budget exposed just how far standards in Australia’s media have declined. The Budget data showed Australia remains one of the strongest-performing advanced economies on Earth. It is currently the only country with unemployment and inflation both below 4.7%, median adult wealth above US$250,000, triple-A credit ratings from all major agencies, moderate interest rates, and government debt below 25% of GDP. On top of that, the Budget introduced reforms aimed at tackling long-standing structural inequities changes that many economists argue were overdue. In most countries, results like these would dominate headlines and strengthen public confidence. Instead, much of Australia’s media responded with outrage, fear campaigns and ideological attacks. Headlines warned of “budget debacles”, “dire consequences”, “war on wealth”, and “further pain”, while largely ignoring Australia’s globally leading economic performance. Much of the commentary relied on the same recycled narratives that have dominated economic reporting for years narratives that often collapse under scrutiny. Claim: Living standards are falling. Reality: Living standards dipped globally after COVID, including in Australia, but key indicators have rebounded strongly since 2023. Australians are travelling overseas in record numbers, spending more on dining, retail and discretionary goods, and consumer activity has surged. Claim: Wages are going backwards. Reality: Real wages were hit during the inflation spike that followed the pandemic, but wage growth has now outpaced inflation. Since late 2023, wages, pensions and welfare payments have all risen faster than consumer prices. Claim: Australia is a high-tax country. Reality: Australia remains one of the lower-taxed advanced economies. The GST is just 10%, far below consumption taxes across much of Europe, while Australia’s total tax-to-GDP ratio sits near the bottom of the OECD. Claim: Labor keeps increasing taxes. Reality: IMF data places Australia among the lowest-taxing developed economies in both 2025 and 2026. Claim: Labor is anti-business. Reality: Business profits outside mining have reached record highs, while employment and expansion across many sectors continue to grow. Claim: Labor spends recklessly. Reality: Spending as a share of GDP under Anthony Albanese remains below levels seen under several previous governments, including the Morrison Government. Claim: Business investment is collapsing. Reality: Investment stagnated during the Coalition years but has resumed growth under the current government. The bigger issue is what this says about Australia’s media culture. Economic reporting increasingly resembles political campaigning rather than factual analysis. Too often, selective statistics, misleading framing and emotionally loaded commentary replace balanced reporting. When positive economic outcomes are ignored while fear and outrage dominate coverage, it damages public trust, distorts national debate and weakens social cohesion. Australia’s economy is not perfect. Productivity, housing affordability and inequality remain serious challenges. But pretending the country is in economic collapse despite internationally strong results does not inform the public. It misleads them.

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it. This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect. "Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. 'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth." - Tony Locke

Now, Jacinta 'Numpty Jumper' Price is on the foghorn. She herself is now a high-income earner (compared to the average Australian) with substantial expenses and 'other', She has a Discretionary Trust - Why, you may ask? So she can pay MORE TAX?, and guess what, she's worried about the POOR people. "Save the little people, the poor, the kookaburras and ants.". Fuck, these Liberals are dumb. 1. It does NOT affect “the entire Australian community” →83% of the CGT discount benefit goes to the top 10% of taxpayers by income. The changes are deliberately targeting the wealthy, not everyday Australians. →Only 2.2 million property investors and 840,000 discretionary trusts are directly impacted. That’s a tiny fraction of the population, not “the entire community.” 2. Working Australians are NOT “paying more” →6.2 million workers (42% of taxpayers) get a tax cut averaging $205 in 2026–27. →The 30% CGT floor doesn’t apply to average wage earners ($45k–$135k) because their marginal rate is already 30% . They pay the same as before. Existing investments (bought before 12 May 2026) are grandfathered, no extra tax. 3. Small businesses are NOT “paying more” →$20,000 instant asset write-off is now permanent for small businesses (turnover <$10m). →$1,000 instant tax deduction for work-related expenses. →Loss carry-back lets companies claim refunds for past tax paid. →Rollover relief for 3 years to restructure without penalty. 4. The “punished for working harder” claim is backwards →The old system rewarded unearned capital gains (taxed at <30% for high-income earners deferring sales) more than wages (taxed at 30% ). →The new system aligns capital gains tax with wage tax, making it fairer for workers, not punishing them. 5. Who actually pays more? →Discretionary trusts (from 2028): 30% minimum tax stops income-splitting loopholes used by high-wealth families. - OOPS, who has a Discretionary Trust? She does. →High-income earners deferring asset sales to low-income years to pay <30% tax. TL;DR Jacinta’s claim is demonstrably false. The budget: ✅ Cuts taxes for 6.2 million workers ✅ Protects existing investments ✅ Gives small businesses new tax breaks ✅ Targets the top 10% and tax avoiders The only people hurt are wealthy investors and trust users, not “kookaburras and ants.” She’s either lying or doesn’t understand the policy.
