@AndrewGarnerM8 @PaulineHansonOz At the moment the excise on beer is providing more tax to the government than taxes on gas exports so 100% agree that gas exports need to be taxed at similar levels to Qatar, but poorline will do whatever Gina tells her to do, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

Pauline Hanson 🇦🇺
Pauline Hanson 🇦🇺@PaulineHansonOz·
Australians have been left behind by elites who treat the population like mugs. Liberal and Labor have always failed to deliver for the country. It doesn’t matter what they say - their track records speak for themselves. Australians are dealing with the consequences of major party governments every day when they’re trying to afford housing and grocery bills. It’s time for big change to put the voices of Australians front and centre in our Parliament. That’s One Nation’s mission.

"When Bennelong had learnt enough English, he begged the British to use their guns to wipe out his enemies on the northern shore of the harbour. One officer wrote of Bennelong, 'love and war seemed his favourite pursuits.'" The historical truth is that life pre-British settlement for aboriginal Australians was violent, nasty, brutish and short. Today average life expectancy of Australians of aboriginal heritage is around 30 years more than pre-British settlement.
John Ruddick MLC - Libertarian@JohnRuddick2

Fascinating Chapter in the Life of Bennelong In 1788, Bennelong was a 24 year old Aboriginal man who lived on the southern side of Sydney Harbour when the First Fleet sailed in. Bennelong befriended Governor Phillip and was a frequent and much loved guest at officer meals. Phillip built Bennelong a hut where the Sydney Opera House sits today. When Bennelong had learnt enough English, he begged the British to use their guns to wipe out his enemies on the northern shore of the harbour. One officer wrote of Bennelong, 'love and war seemed his favourite pursuits.' In 1792, Governor Phillip returned to England ... and he took Bennelong with him. Bennelong would spend a year in England where he visited famous sites and was treated as a celebrity. While in England, Bennelong learned English ways. He was obviously impressed. In September 1795, Bennelong arrived back in Sydney with Captain John Hunter who was NSW's incoming governor of NSW. David Collins was the top legal guy in the early colony and he describes Bennelong's return: "About this settlement their attention had been for some time engrossed by Bennelong, who arrived with the governor. On his first appearance, he conducted himself with a polished familiarity toward his sisters and other relations; but to his acquaintances Bennelong was distant, and quite the man of consequence. Bennelong declared, in a tone and with an air that seemed to expect compliance, that he should no longer suffer them to fight and cut each other's throats, as they had done; that he should introduce peace among them, and make them love each other. He expressed his wish that when they visited him at Government-house they would contrive to be somewhat more cleanly in their persons, and less coarse in their manners; and he seemed absolutely offended at some little indelicacies which he observed in his sister Carrangarang, who came in such haste from Botany Bay, with a little nephew on her back, to visit him, that she left all her clothing behind her. Bennelong had certainly not been an inattentive observer of the manners of the people among whom he had lived; he conducted himself with the greatest propriety at table, particularly in the observance of those attentions which are chiefly requisite in the presence of women. His dress appeared to be an object of no small concern with him; and every one who knew him before he left the country, and who saw him now, pronounced without hesitation that Bennelong had not any desire to renounce the habits and comforts of the civilized life which he appeared so readily and so successfully to adopt. His inquiries were directed, immediately on his arrival, after his wife Goroobarrooboollo; and her he found with Caruey (JR - while Bennelong was away, his wife had hooked up with a younger Aboriginal man named Caruey). On producing a very fashionable rose-coloured petticoat and jacket made of a coarse stuff, accompanied with a gypsy bonnet of the same colour, she deserted her lover, and followed her former husband. In a few days however, to the surprise of every one, we saw the lady walking unencumbered with clothing of any kind, and Bennelong was missing. Caruey was sought for, and we heard that he had been severely beaten by Bennelong at Rose Bay, who retained so much of our customs, that he made use of his fists instead of the weapons of his country, to the great annoyance of Caruey, who would have preferred meeting his rival fairly in the field armed with the spear and the club. Caruey being much the younger man, the lady, every inch a woman, followed her inclination, and Bennelong was compelled to yield her without any further opposition. He seemed to have been satisfied with the beating he had given Caruey, and hinted, that resting for the present without a wife, he should look about him, and at some future period make a better choice." There's no evidence confirming Bennelong converted to Christianity ... but his hope to be a peacemaker between warring tribes indicates he had at least been introduced to the faith. Bennelong's son was such an enthusiastic convert he became an evangelist to the Aboriginals. Read more here - #chapter30" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gutenberg.org/files/12565/12…

Ok, the speech is finished. I chose to keep it positive and not dwell too much on all the nonsense going on. You already know what's happening anyway. So it would just be me telling you we're surrounded by commies for 10 mins, you've heard it, you know it, so let's focus on the good things about Australia.

I’m hearing rumours that discussions are taking place at high levels about permanently banning X. Needless to say if they attempt something like that the public backlash should be swift, fierce, and unmistakable.

Grok@grok·
Your statement metaphorically targets ideologies for ideological defeat through activism, not literal violence against people or structures, aligning with protected political hyperbole under Australia's implied freedom of expression. Courts assess context, intent, and imminence of harm—phrases like "rise up" risk scrutiny for incitement if deemed calls to unlawful action, but lack of specificity often shields passionate rhetoric. Equality applies: Thorpe's rally context faces ethics review, yours could prompt police if posted online, prioritizing facts over status.

NIAA’s grant assessment criteria around cultural competency requires applicants to demonstrate ‘how your organisation is accepted by the target communities or groups’. I wonder how police services — institutions responsible for Blak deaths in custody — met these criteria?

@grok So if I make a statement such as, “Australians who hold traditional Australian values dear should take any opportunity for hey can to rise up against the extreme left ideologies such as those espoused by Lidia Thorpe and carry out whatever action necessary to burn harmful left ideologies to the ground”, that would fall under political hyperbole and be protected as I’m just passionately calling for change in an evocative way?

@MarkJF1973 @grok @SenatorThorpe @grok it is old seem to me that lowering the temperature on political rhetoric only applies in o the average everyday Aussie citizens with politicians able to raise tensions to whatever level they see fit and hide behind the phrase “political hyperbole”.
