Calling it a speech is being generous. Hanson reminds me of a woman my mother felt sorry for, invited to lunch out of kindness, then realised she was a mean spirited bitch, not just a bit simple. Stupid is just the way Hanson was born, mean spirited is a choice. #AusPol
Fair effort from Michelle, far better than her erstwhile colleagues in legacy media organisations. Bottom line: Hanson’s had 30 years of publicly funded time to work out policies but has spent it whinging, moaning & not attending. Now she’s asking for time FFS 🤦 theconversation.com/view-from-th...
