Newspoll and Resolve Strategic have government back up to 29% Primary whilst Hanson falls to 25% in both

As title says and considering this was recorded in two polls I think worth paying extra close attention to.

Abbott posted a video on social media claiming multiculturalism has failed and diversity is not a strength. Edit he also claimed Muslim leaders were more concerned with alleged Islamophobia over condemning Bondi. End edit.

Multiculturalism Minister Julian Hill went for the jugular calling Abbott's views neanderthal and that the Liberals just months ago elected him unopposed as their President. "Moderate" Senator Bragg tried to claim Abbott's views were his own but not the Parliamentary party's.

CPAC London filled less than the quarter of seating it booked

While the article is largely about Hanson I I do wonder if the lack of attendance caught here might be a sign of CPAC's global grip weakening? As can anyone doubt in previous years that would have gotten a full room for Hanson?

Anyone else think this is a media/ political beat up

  1. It was a female podcaster asking the question/ pressing for an answer so this isn't grubby locker room talk the way Henderson and others are implying.

  2. If they really want to play the how low can you go game remember how Morrison handled Brittney Higgins or the marches against domestic violence.

  3. It's a "game" million of people play. Is ever participant meant to be a sexist?

Anti-abortion activist Joanna Howe seems to have breached campaign finance laws

Only quoting select sections to show the questions around her compliance and financing

The ABC has tracked her Meta ad spend over the election's nine-month disclosure period and found Ms Howe spent more than $219,000, including almost $34,000 directly targeting voters and MPs in the SA election.

But Ms Howe declared $0 in political campaign expenditure to the electoral commission.

f third parties receive donations above $1,000 or spend more than $5,000 on political campaigning during the official reporting period, they are required, by law, to declare that money.

Joanna Howe registered her entity, Australia Life, as a third party last December.

The ABC's investigation shows Ms Howe racked up $219,000 on Meta ads in total during the disclosure period and spent at least $33,900 directly targeting MPs and political issues — mainly regarding abortion — in SA.

But this publicly available document shows she did not declare a cent of that spending.

Ms Howe also filed a separate return disclosing the combined sum of any expenditure and donations of $0 for April.

She has spent more than half a million dollars on Facebook and Instagram advertising her pro-life agenda since 2020 and, in recent months, has out-spent the Australian Labor Party (ALP).

The ABC asked Ms Howe to explain her funding arrangement and if she received donations she did not declare during the SA election.
