“It’s not true!” Says Wilson But it is true, in his book The New Social Contract Wilson argued the current tax system was “screwing young Australians” And that keeping in place the CGT discount was “intergenerationally unjust." Wilson caught with his pants down shouldn’t point.

The media reported on Pauline Hanson swearing, and her media advisor telling a female reporter to "Shut Up" aggressively. What they DIDN'T talk about was WHY the ON media baboon told the reporter to shut up. And that was actually the important part. The reporter asked if James Ashby, Pauline Hanson's chief of staff and partner in the business of #OneNation (yes, it IS a business) would be running for the Senate at the next election. And the reason that one nation doesn't want to talk about that right now? is because James Ashby is as toxic as radioactive waste. From the Slipper affair, the court cases, the "teen sex allegations" and more, this is the real story here. Forget the "Fuck" distraction. James Ashby is Gina Rinehart's little pet, and for those of you who think Gina's interest in one nation is recent, it's not, as the video shows: The #MSM bleeped out the swearing - Noisy put it back in.

Absolutely disagree with this. People like Hanson will rise and fall but Australia’s system of compulsory voting ensures that every single person has a voice and a choice even if they don’t want it. That is democracy at work.

He eliminated USAID, and defunded pediatric cancer research for this. He cut every worthy program so he could paint super algae-producing reflecting pools & post his name to already-named buildings- If you think this UFC spectacle didn't cost any tax payer money, you deserve to be publicly tarred & feathered.

So after all this death and destruction, the idiot Trump will end up with a deal far worse than Obama’s JCPOA agreement with Iran back in 2015. This is spectacular folly and incompetence. abc.net.au/news/2026-06-15/t…

Historic, alright. A humiliating defeat that will be long remembered when oily sycophants like you are forgotten.

Prof Hal Pawson says Labor’s CGT changes are “to be commended” & shreds the LNP’s “well out of line” tax scheme that incentivised investors to pile in “causing inflation in the system”💥 Says we’re “already seeing the beginnings of the beneficial impact” of the changes✅ #auspol

You've said "toxic taxes" 3 times in 4 sentences Angus. Whatever arguments exist against the CGT changes, you've forfeited your chance to make them by instead choosing to debate like a 10-year-old. What a diminished, unserious party you now lead.

The fear Pauline Hanson is selling is not yours. It was manufactured for you, at a cost to others you will never fully see. The first act of political freedom is to recognise the manufacture. The second is to refuse the product. blakandblack.com/2026/06/15/…

Every one of these is a feeling with a villain attached. Show me the migration number, the costed energy plan, the housing model. You can't, because there isn't one. This is a grievance with a press release. One Nation don't do policy because they can't, and they're lazy.

yes this is the prob. She cant talk policies because they are simply made up for votes with no real research gone into it. The limited/brief policies presented are not about fixing oz like a business but just for what ppl want to hear. They r out of their depth bigly'

It appears that exposing charlatans in Australian politics is now down to our cartoonists and a few independent journalists - not the mainstream media. It will be interesting to watch Hanson at the #npc this week.
Yep. And more of our journalists need to do their jobs and hold her accountable for her vacuous BS statements

Howard can fuck right off. He introduced these obscene perks for his rich mates. He didn't take them to an election. We should have got rid of them years ago. Good on Labor for finally doing so. Most of us agree with them. Only rich privileged selfish whingers don't.

Sky News: 📢Breaking, lol, haha. ▓ One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce has made the staggering claim there are multiple people with “serious drug convictions” - including heroin traffickers - connected to parliament. - Sky News ▓ Barnaby Joyce, the man who fell over, drunk off his limited brain, onto a pavement and yelled down a mobile phone rather than get up, which he couldn't as his legs were trying to escape his fat carcass. The same man who previously and unexplained, made an Irish dance out of walking into parliament (many suggest he was properly maggoted), NOW wants to talk about drug addicts in Parliament. Ok. Sounds like Barnaby. Link to Sky Spews article in replies.

Interesting that AFR columnist Jennifer Hewitt argued at the same time that the media was trying to report #OneNation's antics. She should start reading @GuardianAus.
On Pauline Hanson: Raf Epstein on #Insiders nails it - "the media hold her to a different standard." Which is to say, no standard at all. We've never had a detailed policy interview with Hanson. And a rare policy question sees Pauline unravel.
