Would we expect anything else? When a growing political movement is denied the staffing and institutional support required to function properly, Australians should ask why. A democracy is meant to respect the will of voters; not protect the existing power structure from growing competition.
One Nation’s rise is being met with resistance because the establishment understands that Australians are looking for an alternative. An uneven playing field does not strengthen democracy; it weakens public trust in it. Regardless of a persons political persuasion, Australians should expect all elected parties to be treated fairly and resourced appropriately so the voices of their voters are properly represented in Parliament.
This should be plastered on every hospital Emergency room across Australia
After all, aspiring PM Hanson has publicly insisted that she’s “a woman of her word”

I reckon if we called an election right now. Labor would be gone.
All credibility is lost.
You can’t make a load of promises, break them and then lie about the reasons you broke them and expect people to respect you.

I have no interest in being Labor-lite, Greens-lite, Teal-lite or One Nation-lite.
I will be fighting for a majority Liberal government with a bold and confident BIG Liberal agenda.
Pauline Hanson says that Anthony Albanese should have picked up the phone to Donald Trump and offered Australian assistance to the conflict in Iran.
“Pick up and the phone and ask how can we support you”
That’s what “mates do”
Albo’s not a mate.
He’s a slime ball.
Overnight we saw disgusting vandalism of war memorials in Port Melbourne. It's unacceptable and against the law.
And those responsible face up to ten years in jail.
Anzac Day is the most solemn and important date on our calendar.
If anyone is thinking about disrupting an Anzac Day service tomorrow - you're not welcome.
@RoadknightThe I still don't get why so many soft skinned, insecure, sooky men are triggered by a brief acknowledgement or welcome (or even know the difference between the two). We've become a nation of soft and whiny men.
I can't find when the first Acknowledgement or Welcome to Country was performed at ANZAC commemorations, although it's obviously comparatively recently.
But the question is: if we didn't have it soon after its invention in 1976 for a decade or two, why do we need it today?
@RoadknightThe A biased perspective of history. People not acknowledging the frontier wars leading to loss of First Nations Countries. Ignoring indigenous soldiers and their post war treatment. Plus dismissing a cultural ceremony as a 1970s 'invention'. Loosely veiled discrimination.
@Aus_Vanguard@MikeCarlton01 Posts like yours sound like childish school yard arguments. 'I'm not dumb, you're dumb' sort of immaturity . Your decisive bullshit of not respecting an acknowledgement of Country and your only comeback is to call it decisive? Fuck off.
Jeering and heckling at an Anzac Day service scrapes the depths of the gutter. It is disgusting, grossly offensive, beneath contempt, an insult to the living and the dead.
@Goalkickingguru Sad insecure sook, aren't you. Can't gather enough gut and decency to acknowledge the land inhibited here and the First Nations diggers who served. You really are a self entitled sook.
Anzac Day is a sacred focused ritual of national mourning and gratitude, not a venue for reconciliation messaging, identity politics, or implying that attendees (including descendants of settlers, migrants, and veterans) need to be “welcomed” to their own country by anyone
@Tom12060161@domknight Sad underachieving people who lack empathy, understanding and have a sense of self entitlement. So rather than step up and grow up, it's easy to kick others down to feel superior.
@domknight Jeez how would you feel being a descendent of a First Nations digger who couldn’t vote, got treated like shit but fought for Australia. There were many of them. Sometimes this country disgusts me.
@colonelhogans Yep, the ignorant racists who lack empathy and understanding will try and justify their atrocious behaviour with the usual bullshit words in their posts, like woke, divisive, communist, money grabbing, etc. embarrassing and offensive.
Sadly the Australian RW media have turned Anzac Day and Australia Day into Trump style culture wars for their desperation for click bait and to cause division within Australian society.
There is no day of the year in Australia and New Zealand that is more important than Anzac Day.
But the RW filth in the media use it to cause Trump inspired division.
Les by the filthiest of the filth.
Murdoch and Stokes.
