Pauline Hanson’s One Nation banks millions in public funding. Where does all the money go? Exclusive: Former candidates accuse party of enriching itself at their expense, while insiders lift veil on chaos in Brisbane HQ – and staffers’ contempt for rank-and-file members

“Game, who worked for Hanson for eight years as a policy adviser, but later fell out with her, says the public needs to look closely at how One Nation handles its money – the millions it receives from members, candidates and Australian taxpayers for campaign spending.”

Listen up, news rooms.

If the political & media establishment was not so craven, Angus Taylor's immigration posturing would not just raise eyebrows.

Every commentator should proclaim that Australia must never return to the White Australia Policy.
And Liberals flicking the switch to racism renders them unfit to govern.

Campaign group behind attack ads on Labor, Greens and teal candidates was funded by coal industry lobby Australians for Prosperity received most of its funding last financial year from Coal Australia, according to disclosures made to the Australian Electoral Commission

'A campaign group that attacked Labor, the Greens & teal independent candidates at the last federal election was almost entirely funded by a coal industry lobby group, analysis of political disclosures reveals'.

I take from well meaning messages from friends the Tiny Man Acronym has written about me and Where it all went wrong for The Daily Fail. He hates it, which means you will probably love it (it includes facts, actual acknowledgement of power and isn’t personal - all things strangely alien to him) 🩷

Greens’ State of the Planet calls for National Electrification Plan We are building a future where we do more, faster, to protect our planet and make sure everyone is treated equally.

Now we're talking, share widely.

We can do this, together✊🏻💚

Stupid, stupid, stupid

This regime is so stupid

How can anyone put up with the insanity, the lies, the constant drama, the disrespect, and the downright corruption

Strike, strike, strike!

Make the economy hurt from boycotting every tech company, every media company, etc

Hezbollah exists as a DIRECT result of Israeli violence in Lebanon. Literally.

They formed in 1982 following Israel's invasion and occupation. They drove the IDF out of southern Lebanon in 2000.

Western news media defiantly fails to report these facts. #IsraeliTerrorism #LebanonUnderAttack

If Hillary Clinton had to testify under oath to Congress about Epstein, why the hell hasn't Melania been brought in? Certainly far more connections to Jeffrey.

Agreed.

I do not trust Richard Marles.

Every time he opens his mouth, I suspect that Australia's interests are a distant second to what he conceives to be his post-political career. Big military consultancy. Which won't exists without #AUKUS + U.S

I trust Barnaby more than I trust Marles. 🤮

Who’d have thought a fossil-fuel shill like Trump would be the one to spark a green revolution? | George Monbiot The US attack on Iran has made the need for renewable energy inarguable, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It's the opposite of his intention, but the Idiot Emperor is forcing the world off fossil fuels. This week's column.

Hey, @chrishipkins.bsky.social, here's an idea that would win you some votes in November! I'm sure anything a capitalist capital like NYC can do, we can do in AoNZ #nzpol

I'd support this, who wouldn't?

A political cartoon by Megan Herbert showing an assembly of renewable energy solutions - solar panels, battery storage, high speed rail, electrified truck freight, EVs and charging infrastructure, wind turbines, and bicycles - put together in a shape that resembles a military tank. A different approach to a massive increase in military spending that would increase Australia's security and sovereignty in times of global unrest.

Best defence.

I love hearing stories of friends and family road-tripping, trouble free, in an EV.

"stopped to charge when we got into town, $36, if we still had a gas SUV it would have been $120+!"

Yup, life's better with an EV!

For nearly a half century, trickle-down economic policies have resulted in a tax system rigged in favor of the rich. This is not only bad for our economy, but it’s leading to a billionaire takeover of our democracy as well. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkiO0_uSJAk

Nothing new. They have been saying this, quietly, for years. This is Netanyahu’s aim. Extend borders, exterminate Palestinians…..all Palestinians. Knowing Jewish history, this is obscene.

I would prefer Charles to go and when addressing Congress, let fly. Just like Leo is doing.

When high school students in Phoenix staged an anti-ICE walkout, a masked gunman menaced them. He's now been identified as Sgt. Dusten Mullen with the Phoenix police dept. His plan was to incite students into assaulting him, so they could be arrested. #USPolitics boingboing.net/2026/04/13/m...

Yes agreed. My first response to reading those words were……Look at yourselves mate……!

Why?

All the racism and economic illiteracy aside, is this really the best he’s got? Person becomes leader of a right wing party and their first change is to go “we hate immigrants even more than we used to”. Is he that bereft of ideas? Seems so.

Why would anybody be interested in Tony Abbott’s opinion? People seem to forget that he was knifed by his own party for being a nutter. And they would know.
