Quick!! A new policy announced so let's not look at it with an expert- let's get the wisdom of a coalition ON sympathiser to spout fact free statements without challenge - and that can be the basis of a question 🤷🏼♀️😏your taxes at work 👎#auspol

Jess Wilson repeatedly dodges questions on whether One Nation Vic leader Warren Pickering’s status as a conspiracy theorist is ‘alarming’, until finally admitting she finds it “very normal” 🙄 What’s ‘alarming’ is the prospect of a Wilson-Pickering government running Victoria.
Spreading lies to stir up fear and hatred. It's long past time that more people saw through the far-right's sickening tactics. Here's a useful burst of truth from @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu to help.
Vance, Farage and Weidel posted fear-mongering messages about a Spanish migrant crisis that weren't true. They haven't retracted them. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Russia wants the world to forget who started the war. On 24 February 2022, Putin ordered a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The invasion was not preceded by any Ukrainian attack on Russian territory. The war was not ‘forced upon’ Russia. Russia chose to start it.
If Putin still denies Ukraine even exists, why are we still afraid to call this what it is? More than four years, civilians are being killed in growing numbers, so at what point do we stop searching for softer words? It’s genocide. My latest piece. 👇 open.substack.com/pub/shaunpin...
You know who WAS found to be seriously corrupt by the ICAC?
All you Trump backers who lie about supporting Ukraine…this is what you actually support. These Ukrainians are being killed partly through the policy choices of the Trump administration. The USA could have saved many of these lives but chose not to. www.cnn.com/2026/08/05/e...

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08... We live in a racist country. We must call out PHON for what it is, a party with a racist agenda. PHON isn’t about addressing cost of living pressures .If she turns up to work she votes against such measures . Come on journos do your job and call out racism more often

The royal commission on antisemitism has hit back at comments from a prominent member of the Jewish community who accused pro-Palestinian groups of attempting to "hijack" the inquiry using "clickbait theatrics and gratuitous slurs".

What evidence Connor? Why does @abcnews just claim there's evidence of poor educational /life outcomes if students don't do well in NAPLAN without citing the sources? What alternatives are there? What are poor performing schools doing that might be better for their cohort? #auspol

❗️Zelensky: Today, many were shocked by another video of the Russian drone safari against people in Kherson. The man was injured by the explosion. The world must see this. It must see every fact that Russia has gone mad, and every fact that the Russian military enjoys killing and mocking people.

“Disappointing” was the best Guardian Australia could muster when Pauline Hanson’s One Nation banned it from a press conference, this time called to announce the party’s candidates for the forthcoming Victorian state election.

A video circulating on social media shows a Russian drone hunting an unarmed civilian trading at a local market in Kherson's Central district around 6:45 a.m. Video: National Police / Telegram.
#Auspol A reminder that ‘News24’ in Australia is owned by Rupert Murdoch. Rupert Murdoch also owns ‘Fox News’ in the United States of America. Neither network is news. Both networks are propagandist machines built by Murdoch so that he can feed the people his narratives to control political votes.
The bottom line is we live in a racist country enabled by a conservative media . This was showcased by the Voice Referendum. If you are going to vote for Hanson you are looking through a Howard and Hanson racist lens on who we will decide can come to this country. Cost of living is a smokescreen .

There is no decency in right wing political culture and this lack of decency is poisoning democracy. My analysis 👇 independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...
It's Right to say a decency deficit is poisoning democracy
Political dysfunction is not a “both sides” problem; it is the result of a right-wing culture that has currently abandoned decency and democratic norms,

'For $10,000 a ticket, attendees are offered a seat at the table with about 12 companions including Rinehart and One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, according to a number of sources familiar with the frequent dinners who were granted anonymity to speak freely.' www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...
Dinners at Rinehart’s mansion, Hanson loans, an offensive film: One Nation’s sources of cash
The mining billionaire is sometimes a late withdrawal from the $10,000-a-ticket dinners. But guests can still enjoy the sweeping river views with Pauline Hanson.

It would be appropriate to treat this disgusting attack (& others) on Indigenous people at a significant & sacred place in the same way as an equivalent attack on other people at a built place of cultural/religious observance (eg synagogue, church, mosque, temple, shrine) would be treated. #Auspol
Victoria Police are investigating an allegation of assault at Camp Sovereignty with a 37-year-old victim treated for facial injuries.
Victorians turn out in massive numbers to denounce Pauline Hanson’s “racism and fascism” — swarming her fundraiser to demand she get out of the state.💥 This should be the greeting she gets everywhere she peddles her hate. Well done Victoria. #auspol
A serious question: given that the Age, Guardian, and ABC were locked out of the One Nation press conference, why would those outlets cover the conference in any way? Yes, it's newsworthy, but ONP are expressing a clear preference not to be covered by those journalists, so what's right?
Yet Victorians voted him in repeatedly, with an increased majority each time Victorians loved him, largely because the Right wing media’s hatred of him was nothing short of utterly unhinged
The #Insiders panel is baffled about the unhinged hatred by some against Daniel Andrews and Jacinta Allan. It's not a mystery. The MEDIA (3AW/Seven/Nine/Sky News) runs relentless campaigns of hate against Labor leaders. #auspol #springst #journalism #cookers
