Pauline Hanson complaining about people not speaking English properly is peak hypocrisy. #NPC

Hanson started her National Press Club Address by deliberately misrepresenting what Welcome to Country is & announcing those groups of persons she considers should be honoured as nation builders. Went rapidly downhill from there as she mangled Australian population statistics👎

Breaking news; 🇮🇱 According to a poll conducted in Israel, Netanyahu is predicted to lose the elections with a 24% drop in support. If he loses the elections, Netanyahu will face trial in The Hague for war crimes.

Australia isn’t “on the ropes” because workers have annual leave, sick leave, penalty rates, workers compensation and safety laws. Those things weren’t handed down by generous employers. Workers and unions fought for them over generations. The 38-hour week, annual leave, superannuation, parental leave, workplace safety standards and unfair dismissal protections all exist because people organised and demanded them. The claim that productivity has stalled because wages are “forced up” doesn’t stack up. For years, wages grew slower than productivity and slower than company profits. In fact, one of Australia’s biggest economic problems has been weak wage growth, not excessive wage growth. If employment laws were making business “almost impossible”, Australia wouldn’t have thousands of profitable businesses, record company profits in many sectors, or unemployment near historic lows. As for offshoring, companies offshore work because it is cheaper. That’s a business decision made by boards and executives trying to reduce costs and increase profits. Blaming unions for decisions made in corporate boardrooms is like blaming firefighters for house fires. Australia absolutely faces challenges: housing affordability, productivity growth, energy transition, infrastructure bottlenecks and an ageing population. But the answer isn’t to strip away worker protections and return to some mythical past that never existed. The countries with the highest living standards in the world generally have strong worker protections, strong institutions and productive economies. Those things are not mutually exclusive. If we want a stronger Australia, let’s have an honest conversation about tax reform, skills, innovation, infrastructure, housing supply and competition policy. Blaming workers, unions and employment laws for every problem is simply looking for an easy scapegoat.

Do you think he called Israel’s attack on Gaza’s Great Omari Mosque deplorable? Or any Israeli attack on men, women, and children?

Any woman would feel intimidated with #TimWilson narcissistic behaviour. Using abuse to control & intimidate. Name calling to hurt. “Grow up Amanda.” “Amanda needs to get a breathalyzer.” Not to mention BL. teeth baring, yelling talking over the top, threatening finger pointing.

Even in Mordor where the evil eye of Sauron watched over the Orcs, it didn't steal all their personal details, it didn't steal their medical history, it didn't record every single thing they ever did. The evils of Palantir is far beyond anything Tolkien imagined

Not only a test for Hanson at the National Press Club it's also a big test for Australian Journalists today
