GetUp! is back to take on One Nation in the leadup to the Farrer by-election, and Pauline Hanson, Barnaby Joyce & Advance are running scared. GetUp! had an advert budget of 400k for Farrer, which is now 550k thanks to Beetrooter. #auspol #OneNation #insiders #GetUp

The Albo changes to property tax are estimated to raise $30 billion over ten years. Will it all be returned to young voters given the ‘excuse’ is inter generational fairness ?

@bbcquestiontime @AmberRuddHR @jreynoldsMP @Anna_Soubry @Nigel_Farage @John_Mills_JML @BBCOne @bbc5live YOUR MONEY will enable @BBC to platform a man driven by greed, division & hatred. He will gaslight a nation by claiming he is 'standing up for democracy' in the UK. The below clip from @aliklay's The Brink reveals the real @Nigel_Farage Please share:

@novaramedia Why doesn’t Novara Media want an inquiry into the influence of pro-Russia groups? Never mind. I’ve figured it out.

The Labour government will not hold a public inquiry into the influence of pro-Israel groups, even after more than 114,000 people called for a probe. novaramedia.com/2026/04/23/uk-…

@TheIPA TRUMP and his backers like Gina, Rupert and the IPA are responsible for Australia’s fuel crisis.

“Fuel is the headline vulnerability we are facing.” Australia imports most of its fuel. Now we are taxing what little we produce. And calling it progress. Saxon Davidson in this IPA media release highlights how current policy settings are exposing Australia to serious fuel security risks. Read more here: bit.ly/4mZvK7r

Thanks in part to Trump’s war with Iran, Pauline Hanson’s One Nation has peaked. The LNP is One Nation lite. Labor looking at another landslide win. #auspol #OneNation #polls
Kos Samaras@KosSamaras

New AFR/RedBridge Accent Reseach poll. Labor 31. One Nation 27. Coalition 22. Greens 13. One Nation have been running second on primary vote nationally for months. They are not new to that position as they are now clearly the second largest party in polling. What this poll tells us is where the ceiling sits. We tested Hanson's net satisfaction among what is left of Labor's base. It sits well over negative 50. Labor's primary back to its pre-election base. What remains is locked in. These voters are not moving to One Nation. More telling, the PM’s ratings have also jumped. But the ceiling is also now shaped by Liberal party voters, that being those still supporting the Liberal Party across the country. Hanson's closeness to Trump has built much of that ceiling. Asset-rich voters, as we saw at the Nepean by-election this weekend, are repelled by it. Hanson has now consolidated a bloc. That is clear but she has not built a national movement. And the bloc she is consolidating is largely made of her historic supporters, former working class Coalition voters and a smaller slice of Labor’s outer urban and regional base. A ceiling at the national level does not mean One Nation will not do well in specific seats. Farrer and many more sit firmly in their territory. Those seats can fall to them. 2PP: Labor 54 v Coalition 46. Labor 55 v One Nation 45. The Labor Federal Government wining in a landslide in either matchup. Full piece in today's AFR link below.

One Nation's Pauline Hanson claims she's a Patriot, but for which country? 🇦🇺 Australia? 🇷🇺 Russia? 🇺🇸 USA? 🇮🇱 Israel? Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. #auspol #OneNation #insiders #patriotism
