#BREAKING Australian Bureau of statistics published today reveals a staggering 1,154,000 permanent and long term arrivals to Australia over the year to February 2026.
In 2026 we are seeing the highest levels of annual arrivals on record in fifty years (since 1976).
When pressed on where all these new immigrants would live given the current housing crisis, Tony Burke said that “immigration was the solution” to the housing crisis and “not the problem”
February recorded Australia’s 3rd highest intake of migrants since records began with 96,110 arriving in 4 weeks.
That equates to 3,432 people.
A day.
The country is in huge trouble with this current Government at the controls.
I have been amused at those people who have been criticising me for taking the Greens to court to get my party membership back. Why would they (and the Greens) think that someone who was prepared to go to jail over 20 times for civil disobedience on free speech issues during the Bjelke-Peterson era would meekly accept being told he would be expelled from the Greens for supporting freedom of speech? I pointed out to them many times that their process lacked natural justice but, like the arrogant authoritarians they are, they kept going with it, breaching natural justice provisions right to the end.
We should all be prepared to resist injustice, just as Jillian Spencer, Andrew Amos and Sall Grover are doing in their struggles against gender-based authoritarianism.
Hanson and her mob of illiterate cretins ran third in today’s Victorian bi election.
Can’t win a Liberal party seat in Victoria, but Hansons dopey supporters believe she will be PM.
Fuck me drunk how thick are they?
By sheer coincidence…..the media is dead fucking silent.
Pauline Hanson will not build one school, one hospital or one train station.
If you don't like people who are different from you, she will help vent your misguided resentment. That's it.
Nothing to make your life better in any tangible way, or that of your children.
A vote for One Nation is a vote to keep Labor in power. In Victoria, a vote for One Nation is a vote for Jacinta Allan. Federally, a vote for One Nation is a vote for Anthony Albanese. Change only comes one way: vote Liberal!
@tbonier As a republican I encourage Democrats to follow the advice of this article and invest heavily in Arkansas, Wyoming and Tennessee. It's genius.
A great example of what I was saying earlier this week. Money sitting in a DNC bank account may look better in FEC filings, but it does nothing to win races. It's good that they are sending it to the states where it helps win races.

By my count: of the 29 people One Nation has ever had elected to an Australian parliament, only TWO so far hold the distinction of both making it to the end of their term, and never defecting.
(Even Hanson herself left One Nation in 2002.)
@jimaxon66 Immigration suppresses wages, increases rent prices, increases housing prices, increases homelessness, puts pressure on healthcare and schools, public transportation is overcrowded, traffic is jammed. One Nation is the only party brave enough to take this issue on.
Graham Platner is now the presumptive Democratic nominee vs. Republican Sen. Susan Collins in Maine.
In DDHQ's polling average, Platner leads about 49%-42% in early surveys vs. Collins. But the 2020 cycle showed Collins could outperform the polls and win.
@BrentHodgson Immigration suppresses wages, increases rent prices, increases housing prices, increases homelessness, puts pressure on healthcare and schools, public transportation is overcrowded, traffic is jammed. One Nation is the only party brave enough to take this issue on.
@RightKf Is the “only politician” remark a prediction that she’ll be the last one standing in the party?
If so, why do you think the other members of One Nation will leave?
BREAKING NEWS - I've got a new plane, Sarah.
Yes it was donated. Yes I'm super happy. Yes it's fast. Yes it's amazing. Yes it's going to annoy the Guardian. Yes it means I can visit more regional towns across the country more often.
Yes it's a Cirrus G7. Yes it's sexy. Yes I have a pilot.
No I won't be doing welcome to country each we land. No it's not battery operated.
I also want to give a huge shout out to two wonderful, patriotic Australians, Angus and Sarah Aitken for their enormous $1 million dollar investment in myself, Malcolm Roberts, Sean Bell, Tyron Whitten, Barnaby Joyce and future One Nation candidates this week.
Two other tremendous friends of One Nation by the names of Adam Giles and Ian Plimer were also on hand to support the party with donations of $500,000 each.
Their faith and investment in One Nation is an enormous help towards our next federal campaign and I can't thank them enough.
We have a lot of additional fundraising to undertake between now and the cut off in December to combat the uni-party ahead of the 2028 federal election.
I want to pass on my sincere thanks to everyone who has made a contribution to One Nation over the years. I cannot thank you enough for the hope and encouragement you give me to help turn this country around.
I wish I could do all press releases like this....
Keep an eye out for my maiden voyage.

This is an interesting read. All credit to Peter Lyndon-James and his page.
Pauline Hanson got a $1.5 million plane. The major parties are dead silent. Here’s why.
Yesterday Hanson stood in front of a camera and unwrapped a Cirrus G7 light aircraft, valued between $1 million and $2.1 million, donated by a company owned by Gina Rinehart. On top of that came $1 million cash from NSW stockbroker Angus Aitken and his wife Sarah, $500,000 from former Northern Territory Chief Minister Adam Giles, and another $500,000 from geologist Ian Plimer.
Total drop: around $4 million in plane and cash, all in one announcement. She named every donor and thanked them publicly. The whole thing happened in front of a camera in an aircraft hangar.
So where’s the outrage from Labor and the Coalition? Where’s the moral panic from the press gallery? Normally these mob are jumping up and down at the slightest whiff of money going to a minor party. This time, nothing but total silence and there’s a reason for that.
Labor pulled in $67.5 million in 2024–25 and the Coalition pulled in $73 million. Across the major parties last cycle, the total was over $417 million up 58% on the previous election. That’s nearly half a billion dollars flowing into the same two parties that have been running this country into the ground for decades. And a huge chunk of it comes from people you’d recognise.
Anthony Pratt, the packaging billionaire, gave $2 million to Labor and $1 million to the Liberals in the same year, hedge his bets, buy both sides. Hancock-linked entities funnelled hundreds of thousands to the Liberals, the LNP and Advance Australia, Sportsbet, Tabcorp and the Lottery Corporation collectively dropped serious cash on Labor and within months Labor quietly dumped its planned gambling advertising ban.
DoorDash gave the Liberals $785,000 after opposing Labor’s gig worker laws, Coal Australia funnelled $5.15 million into fossil fuel lobby groups during the campaign.
And the part that should make every voter sick: roughly 45% of the money flowing to the major parties is “dark money” pushed through associated entities like the Cormack Foundation on the Liberal side and Labor Holdings on the ALP side. Around $75 million in a single year with no real public disclosure of where it actually came from. Money is laundered through shell entities so the public never sees who’s really paying for the government.
That’s why they’re silent on Hanson. The moment Labor cracks the whip on a $1.5 million plane, the next question from any half-decent journalist is: what did Anthony Pratt buy with his $2 million?
The moment the Liberals attack One Nation’s donors, someone’s going to ask who’s really behind the Cormack Foundation and why the public can’t see the books.
Hanson named her donors, stood there in a hangar and thanked them on camera. Whatever you think of her politics, that’s transparency. The major parties hide the bulk of their cash behind shell companies, associated entities and disclosure loopholes specifically designed to keep the public from joining the dots.
That’s the real story. The silence isn’t accidental, it’s defensive. The duopoly does not want a national conversation about political donations, because they would lose it badly. They’ve built a system where the public can see the loose change but never the cheque book.
How much of your government has already been bought, and you’ll never get to see the receipt?
What’s your thoughts…?

Maine Governor Janet Mills has dropped out of the Senate race, leaving Graham Platner as the only major candidate left on the Democratic ballot.
He will almost certainly face Republican incumbent Susan Collins in the November general election.

@tbonier Attacking Democracy? Are the Republicans trying to add extra judges to the Supreme Court, make DC a state and try to put the main Democratic presidential contender in jail? Those Republicans.. luckily the blue is here to safeguard democracy.
The algorithm on this site will give you a skewed view of certain things, so it could just be me, but it seems like Dems (myself included) have spent way too much time arguing about '24 and way too little sounding the alarm on the Supreme Court's latest attack on our democracy.
