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.

The system is working exactly as it was designed. ▪️Adani’s $400 million royalty liability forgiven after a $600,000 donation. ▪️The gas industry paying less tax than beer drinkers. ▪️900 days of gambling reform delay with secret industry meetings running in parallel. ▪️The think tank that produced the Shadow Treasurer funded by the companies he now shadows. ▪️The party that wrote Australia’s donation disclosure laws writing itself out of them. ▪️A housing policy blaming immigrants for a crisis created by a 1999 tax discount. ▪️A leader who stepped off a billionaire’s jet to demand gas returns – then voted against the only mechanism that would deliver them. ▪️A political class that spent $22 billion on buybacks, while telling you to work harder. 👉 You want straight talking? Here it is. No jet required.: theaimn.net/you-want-straigh…

‘The answer is the one Plibersek gave to start with: the proof of what One Nation really is, a racist Potemkin controlled by billionaire donors, unconcerned with the rights of workers or with reform of any kind.’ Demonising migrants is not the answer. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/shar…

He cannot even apologise or admit he was wrong very typical he should own it

I wonder what Pickering has to say about Jillian Segal’s recommendations about limits to free speech?

The Guardian article was an embarrassing waste of electrons. At the very least Donna Lu could have asked Pickering's opinion about Israel's genocidal behaviour. After all, there are Jews who don't support apartheid or Nuttyahoo's incessant murders. I for one would like to know if he's one of those. The suspicion lingers that he's actually on board with Zionist cruelty and expansionism.

Charlie Pickering meant to say: "We Zionists used to be able to commit an illegal occupation, land theft, and genocide ..." But social media has changed all that. It's a shame when you're held accountable for your own words in support of Israel's atrocities, isn't it Charlie.

I think it was more "Hail Pauline Hanson", but yes - you have to figure that if you're supporting a party that attracts Neo-Nazis, you have taken a desperately wrong turn and are completely lost? #Auspol

Angus Taylor caught clueless in WA, unable to name the very electorate he’s holding a press conference in. “Do you not know the seat you’re standing in right now?” “Seriously do you not know…?”💥🔥 No he doesn’t 🤣 Staggering. #auspol

Thank you for your sage advice. I tried for seven years. Kept my mouth shut. Let people say whatever the fuck they were going to say and everyone told me it would eventually go away. But that never happened. Donald Trump has mentioned my name as President more time than any of his own children by a factor of ten. He’s invoked my name more than Jefferson Epstein’s, and they were best friends. So fuck it Novangelus. I’m going to say whatever the fuck I want to say and you can say whatever the fuck you want. It’s still America- unless we let them take it away from us.

Hunter Biden is worth following.

Everyone's replaying Barnaby's Permanent Resident stuff-up. Media haven't asked the key question: what does One Nation's policy even achieve? Foreign buyers are under 1% of purchases in Aus. Got the gaffe, but missed the point of how useless One Nation's policy actually is.

Oscar winner Colin Firth's ex-wife Livia launches extraordinary attack on Gwyneth Paltrow and cancels Hollywood star's visit to her Italian farm over her 'disgusting' advert for Israeli development. Read the story from Saturday's Eden Confidential: dailymail.com/tvshowbiz/arti…

"This is the final farewell between P_alestinian prisoners and their loved ones moments before they are taken away forever. On March 30, 2026, thousands were condemned under “t*errorism” charges, a profound injustice. Nearly 11,000 lives—most of them young, now stand on the edge of silence. We live in a world where videos of lonely penguins and playful monkeys go viral in seconds… yet speaking about prisoners in P_alestine feels heavy, constrained, almost forbidden. And somewhere between our silence and our fear, their stories begin to fade…" ©aestheteofyoursoul

What is so shocking about Australian women on the flotilla being raped, is not that Israel did it (modus operandi) but that they knew that our Ausralian government would give them a free pass. Why is there not more outrage in the community about our govt's behaviour?

@GuardianAus editor Lenore Taylor went on an all expenses paid junket to Israel. Charlie "As a Jewish Australian" Pickering just got a full page puff piece - because we hurt his feelings. It's vomitous. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

Thank you, Ronni Salt for revealing this disgusting conduct by the NACC. Albanese and LNP need wonder no more why Australian voters would contemplate voting for someone else, even one nation theshot.net.au/uncategorized…

"Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained." — Amos Goldberg, Professor of Holocaust History, Hebrew University of Jerusalem #GazaGenocide #IsraeliTerrorism
