This says what needs to be said about Gaza

Correct me if this is not what happened but it appears Pauline Hanson was given the questions prior to event and was allowed to reject questioners ( Margo Kingston & Greg Jericho ) and actually prepare her attack on the Guardian journalist.

Lulz, got told the pass is not being cancelled just that I will no longer be member of press gallery and thus I need to get a different pass if I want to get access to parliament 😂 (pretty sure that means cancelled!)

@dazjvv Because she represents misinformation on steroids

@crakeka1 So why bring the Pauline angle into it?

That anyone in Australia could consider Pauline Hanson as a possible PM illustrates the failure of our education system.

@ne37538636 Not a chance in hell. Remember when The RW media claimed Dutton would win in a landslide

@crakeka1 No just anyone mate. The majority ... lol.

@Gatty54 what has Pauline Hansen said that is racist? The list is long, but how about for a headline "there is no such thing as a good muslim" a whole religion, an entire faith dismissed and stereotyped. That is clearly racist, bigoted and unacceptable.

So, let's recap, shall we? This week the @PressClubAust managed to: * cancel at the last minute, the questions and subsequent presence of renowned journalist Margo Kingston, who’d travelled over 2 days to Canberra to ask her question of Pauline Hanson – and yes, they were questions initially requested and organised by the Press Club itself 9 days ago. * cancel the press gallery membership of long-term journalist, Greg Jericho, allegedly because he works for the @TheAusInstitute. Although Greg has been employed by the Aust Institute for 4 years, his membership cancellation only came yesterday after he publicly called out the Canberra press gallery - which is of course a highly fortuitous coincidence and not at all connected to his criticism. * somehow allowed a person or persons unknown to enter the Press Club premises and put up a 3 metre wide electronic banner, without anybody in the Press Club noticing them doing it. How several people enter a private club carrying something that large, then proceed to wire it up on an open stage and nobody at the premises noticed in any way, is yet another display of the NPC’s staggering incompetence. * release an unnecessarily detailed, high-school level statement about said banner incident, a statement that reeks of defensiveness and hysteria, while also prejudicially naming an alleged culprit and arguably sinking to the bottom of the barrel in terms of the journalistic standards it supposedly represents. Read it below and remind yourself that people who work with words for a living wrote that. * allowed the speaker, Pauline Hanson, to defame one of their own - a journalist from the Guardian who dared to ask a hard-hitting question - by calling her "trash". This was only weeks after calling the same journalist a "nasty bitch". Mirroring, Trump’s “Quiet piggy” incident, the journalist's alleged colleagues all sat mute, as did the moderator, Tom Connell from Sky News during the abuse. No rebuke, no blow-back, no support for their fellow journalist, standing alone under Hanson's hissing vitriol. Just pusillanimous silence. The National Press Club outdid their already dubious reputation this week, spraying themselves in a spectacular shower of self-inflicted shit – wall to wall, dripping effluent. Australians currently suffer some of the most timid, captured political journalism in the western world, and if the actions of the #NPC this week are the metric, then we can all see why. What a national and international embarrassment of an organisation meant to serve as a vital democratic institution and a cultural conscience – and one that has offered us neither. .

@TheKennyDevine Cringe

Oh dear. Oh deary, deary, dear.

@dazjvv No I am saying our education system should teach how the voting in our democracy works & the variations between federal state & council election rules. Also that one’s preferences are one’s own choice & should not be dictated by party leaflets. 409,748 informal votes last federal

@crakeka1 Are you saying only educated people can vote??

@BennTheBased Except your claim is absolute BS

@crakeka1 Yeah let me go vote for infinite migration from the 3rd world, so my nations culture and people can be replaced in my lifetime.... fuckoff you uneducated swine

@ksim77777 Oh Lee seek help

@crakeka1 What illustrates the failure of our education system in Australia is people like yourself. People who clearly lack any form of critical thinking, which our education system should absolutely be teaching.

Hansen said that 25% spoke a foreign language at home and suggested this was largely Arabic and Mandarin. Jane Norman ABC News repeated this without question. This is appalling from the National Broadcaster. The truth is that around 4% of people speak Arabic or Mandarin at home.

@Claudia157619 @PollyGone6 Self described “ educated” incapable of critical thought?????

@crakeka1 @PollyGone6 You asked how anyone ‘educated’ could vote for one nation and you’ve had a multitude of replies from ‘educated’ individuals, what facts are you actually looking for? Don’t fall into the Hilary Clinton ‘deplorable’ trap of thinking those with differing opinions must be uneducated.

@BourbonShandy No way Hanson will ever be PM

@crakeka1 Why is it a failure? She will have a mandate - will have bureaucrats to draft legislation and support policy implementation just as every Prime Minister before her

@isaacrrr7 Not confined to one patriarchal religion.

@Claudia157619 @PollyGone6 No I post lol when the post is without any factual basis to address

@crakeka1 @PollyGone6 You say ‘lol’ when you have no argument to make? Such incredible critical thinking. Just, so ‘educated’ 😂

@GeorgeSchulte Your profile reveals the futility of replying.

@crakeka1 Explain that intelligently, without just emitting hot air. Expose YOUR failure within the education system.

@ChristyDanFan A factual banner versus a misogynistic one ?????

Can Jacinta Allan now tell Pauline Hanson to suck it up? About a banner? Because the outcry from Pauline Hanson and her supporters about a banner that’s based on actual facts, will cause the biggest tanty we have ever seen. Suck it up.

@PollyGone6 lol

@crakeka1 I’m educated by your standards. I have 6 degrees including a master. I’m voting ON because I want ALL these useless lifelong parasites out of the APH. Especially the Greens who actually hate Australians.

Hanson “We cannot be a multicultural society. We are a multiracial society, but we must be monocultural. Australians must live under the one cultural umbrella.” And not one journalist asked: whose culture becomes the single culture? That is the literal ideological DNA of fascism. The chilling part is she said it at the National Press Club and walked out without being challenged on it. Well Pauline; we did have one culture on this continent. For 65,000 years. And you don’t like that one either.

From “One Nation Decoded” on Facebook. Give them a follow. 👇🏻 “I went through Pauline Hanson’s full National Press Club speech. Not a clip. Not a headline. The whole thing. And the numbers are wild. Out of around 86 checkable claims, I counted: 12 outright false claims. 43 misleading, cherry-picked or unsupported claims. 58 slogans, attack lines or loaded catchphrases. 17 things that just didn’t logically make sense. That means the speech was not some brave truth-telling moment. It was a misinformation machine with a microphone. The scariest part is how polished it all sounds when it’s delivered confidently. Big numbers. Big claims. Big outrage. But when you actually stop and check it, so much of it falls apart. The 130,000 “sleeping rough” claim was wrong. The $200 billion Clean Energy Finance Corporation claim was wrong. The overseas-born comparison with America was apples-to-oranges. The climate change “hoax” line was straight-up nonsense. The capital gains tax section was dressed up like young renters should be crying for young property flippers. This is the trick. Say enough things quickly. Sound angry enough. Blame enough groups. Wrap it all in flags, slogans and “common sense”. Then hope nobody checks the details. Well, I checked. And what I found was not leadership. It was grievance politics running on dodgy numbers, culture war panic and emotional shortcuts. Australians deserve better than a speech where the slogans do more work than the facts”
