Australians are being played by Rinehart and Hanson, and the media is helping – Amy Remeikis Legacy media's refusal to scrutinise One Nation is going to hurt the country

It should worry you that the One Nation candidate on track to win Farrer thinks it is "above his paygrade" whether Gina Rinehart is funding the party.

The entire issue with the NDIS is that a generation of Australians (including almost everyone working in the political media) have become indoctrinated to believe the private sector is more efficient than the private sector.

Privatize disability care? What *could* go wrong???

Albanese, Wong, Marles and Labor have left this country in a dangerous state

The dag-end of a Duopoly that has hollowed out this country for over a decade

Voters have a choice - Fascism or a new democracy around community independents.

Polls suggest fascism - WTF

Has Penny Wong expressed her concern yet? Has Marles talked about our shared values?

Every time they get asked about AUKUS they talk about the alliance.

Well this is the alliance.

Always enjoy centrists believing despite it all we can’t do anything to hurt our alliance with the USA, as if it is actually in our interests to be a US marine and sub base, as if that is a cheap form of our defence, as if that makes us safer.

It stopped being 1942 a long time ago.

Anonymous $200,000 donation helps free dinner service as demand doubles The cash donation alongside a free van will help the charity continue to feed people in need and allow it to expand its service.

Australia, 2026, people lining up for charity food.

We have hundreds of billions of dollars for arms, but people are lining up for charity food.

This is twisted and wrong.

‘We’re living in an Orwellian nightmare’: Grace Tame calls Anthony Albanese a ‘coward’ in scathing critique In an essay for Crikey, the former Australian of the Year says the PM is a ‘turncoat’ who is ‘capitulating to foreign powers’ amid the US-Israel war on Iran

“Anthony Albanese has let us all down by capitulating to foreign powers who crave hegemony, profit from endless chaos, and whose interests conflict with our own.”

Australian governments subsidising fossil fuel use by more than $30,000 a minute, analysis finds Australia Institute data finds state and federal subsidies for coal, gas and oil products increased 10% in past year, growing at a faster pace than funding to NDIS

Remember this next time anyone in the govt says they can’t afford to raise the rate.
