Pauline Hanson in a trainwreck crucified on Ch10 after claiming it’s cost $300m to pursue Ben Roberts-Smith, then refusing to name her source🙄
“That’s not accurate — the entire budget of the office of the special investigator in its existence is $261m for 53 investigations”🔥💥

BREAKING: Trump administration strips Social Security benefits from a Black American cancer patient by claiming that she is “not lawfully present in the U.S.”
This is what Trump’s intentional cruelty looks like in 2026.
Ramona Rakestraw, 59, was born at Parkland Hospital in Dallas in 1966. She has never left Dallas County — not for vacation, not for work, not for anything. And yet somehow, the federal government has decided she is “not lawfully present in the U.S.”
Her crime? Existing while sick.
Rakestraw has battled kidney disease for decades. She endured a transplant. She returned to dialysis. In 2024, she was diagnosed with cancer. Through it all, she survived on Supplemental Security Income — her only source of income — and Medicare Part B.
Then in October, the payments stopped. Why? Because her “immigration status” was suddenly under review.
“I’m not an immigrant,” she said. “I’ve never even left Dallas County — let alone the country.”
Let that sink in. A lifelong Texan. Born in an American hospital. Fighting cancer. Forced to march down to a Social Security office with her birth certificate in hand to prove she belongs in the country where she was born.
And still, she received a letter stating: “We cannot pay you benefits because you are not lawfully present in the U.S.”
This is the human cost of a system so obsessed with rooting out “illegals” that it can’t tell the difference between a Dallas native and a border crossing.
Her Medicare was eventually restored. Her SSI — her only income — was not.
Now she’s appealing, drowning in paperwork while undergoing dialysis and cancer treatment. Sixty days to fight a bureaucratic accusation that should never have happened.
This isn’t about paperwork errors. It’s about a government climate that treats citizenship as suspect and vulnerable Americans as disposable.
Ramona Rakestraw isn’t asking for special treatment. She’s asking for the benefits she’s legally entitled to — the benefits she paid into with a lifetime of perfectly legal existence in this country.
Born in Dallas. Fighting for her life. And now forced to fight her own government just to survive. That’s not just incompetence. That’s a system that’s lost its humanity.

After my pathetic photo of the #eclipse, my sisters sent me the view over Sydney Harbour. As usual, Oz does it better! No wonder my love for my home town never um, wanes. How was your eclipse? Were you over the moon? (Beyond cheesy. Eclipse me in the pun dept, I’m begging you!)

@DavidCrisafulli I live in a 6 bedroom home. My housemate owns it. 2 of us live here and he won't sell to live in a 2 bedroom house because he would have to give too much money to the government to sell.

We've axed this tax to make it easier for Queenslanders to buy their first home.
From 1 May 2025 first home buyers who build or buy a new home will pay no stamp duty.
We'll also let you rent out a room and keep your first home owner's grant.
We're giving our State a fresh start and giving more Queenslanders a place to call home.
