Pauline Hanson reveals policy talks with Gina Rinehart

Hanson said she had not been influenced by Rinehart on immigration matters.

"Just because we've got a plane doesn't mean to say my tune has changed as far as migration," Hanson said.

"I've been speaking about this for the last 30 years. I'm on the record of talking about this. I've been consistent with my policies, what I stand for."

But she said Rinehart did raise matters of policy with her, in line with other organisations and groups who meet with her in parliament.

"She (Rinehart) puts forward some policies like everyone else. I had the gas industry here today as well. I've had ... a lawyer about family law. So, I'm talking to all people, which I have done for years, about policy.

"Why shouldn't she talk to me about policy? No one changes my vision, what I have for Australia, what I want to do. I'm quite happy to listen to anyone. Why wouldn't I listen to Gina Rinehart? She's one of the highest — if not the highest — taxpayers in this nation, and what she does for this country as well."

"I'm sick of people saying, you know, who criticise her for the wealth, but she's one of the people in this country that does give back to the community, unlike some of the others in the mining industry."

It's not just a JW belief I know, but I think it's rammed down the throats of JWs more, but regardless of whether Adam and Eve existed or not, if the Bible is true or not, or whether God/Jehovah exists or not; there is simply no justification whatsoever for punishing all of creation with suffering and death.

I think this is the most glaringly profound fact and insight that should make anyone who is using critical thinking, and has a sense of justice and fairness, should be able to confidently recognise and therefore question the validity of all of the claims; especially that of "God's goodness".

Just wanted to express my appreciation for OnlyOffice and the Developers who made it.

I seldom use Microsoft Office because OnlyOffice is a close equivalent and works so well, and is generally compatible with Microsoft Office files.

Thank you.

From people you've known, whether friends, family, or a deranged CO or Elder, what's the craziest & weirdest stuff you've heard from them about what the "new system" will be like?

I'll start with my Aunt, she thinks that technology is from Satan, (but of course like everything in "Satan's wicked world" that God lets him own apparently, allowance is made to use his devil tools 🤣) so she thinks in the new system technology will be eradicated. She thinks that if we need to travel anywhere, the angels are going to fly us wherever we need to go. 🤣

And then my Dad, he thinks that we are all going to be naked again in the new system because it's what God wanted.

So what craziest and weirdest things have you heard by others about what they think/thought the "new system" is going to be like?

It was weird how Fatima chose to build the Golem inside. Not to mention a bit selfish, because people need all the space they can get in the town for living quarters and for other stuff.

Do you think the Golem will come to life or actually end up offering some protection or something else?

Does anyone else think that each Season or each episode is just slightly different from the next, but ultimately they are repetitive & similar with no real things being explained or happening?

It feels like watching Lost.

I'm wondering if any others have had these consistent experiences with Torrens like myself, and if you finished your degree or withdrew?

A few things that I've experienced with them, are, very inconsistent information in the Assessment Briefs vs what the preferences of the Lecture is on any given week, but if you bring it up respectfully with evidence, they oftentimes still make you feel like you've not understood or are wasting their time.

Either the Assessment Brief is to be followed or it isn't. If their requirements change, why can't they update the Assessment Briefs?

Very long delays or inconsistency with replying to emails, especially when it's important or they've asked for us to reach out if needed. And taking up to a month or more to Mark each Assessment with absolutely no updates.

Persistent reluctance to allow for any extensions, or failing to check the online Extension Request to approve or disapprove, and then because days have passed they deduct Marks when they finally get around to checking.

Lastly, taking phone calls, reading other things while conducting an online class and thinking that's acceptable, (as if the only time that matters is the Lecturers and not equally the Students as well), and passive aggressive behaviour when asking questions in class.

I was going to do a Bachelor with them after finishing my Diploma, but after 2 years of the above-mentioned with no improvements, I'm considering studying with Deakin University.

As much as there are a lot of people in the religion that were brought up, misled, or guilted into being in this religion, I think we need to be honest about the fact that there are a lot who are in this religion 100% by choice and like everything about it.

We often think about all the "new light" changes or "clarifications" that have been made and we think that maybe this time others we know or others as a collective in the religion will finally see the contradictions and hypocrisy of what's taught & believed. But, I think that there are a lot who simply don't care or want to be in the religion for those EXACT reasons of actually loving ALL of it, including the hypocrisy and contradictions.

I actually think that if the Governing Body suddenly became progressive and humane and ended disfellowshipping/shunning entirely, anti-gay beliefs, etc, which are major doctrines of theirs, that a significant amount of people would leave the religion because they actually stay in the religion because of liking those Doctrines in the first place.

This isn't a complaint at all. I love my experience at TAFE as an online student studying the Certificate 4 in Cybersecurity and all of the Teachers have been incredibly helpful and extremely understanding, especially for granting extensions. I'm learning properly and I'm enjoying all of it.

But I was just wondering if anyone else finds some of the assessments extremely long? Like I fully understand that we need to properly understand things and that this is higher education, so things should be advanced. It's just, I've done University assessments that required advanced detail of course, but weren't 10's of pages long.

I understand TAFE is vocational and the layout is different to typical University format. But does anyone still think that some of the TAFE assessments are unusually long?

I recently found Night Player for Android TV as an external player for Stremio that looks and works brilliantly so far. Just make sure if you try it to go into the Night Player Settings and configure the things you want to, like automatic Subtitle retrieval and Subtitle size and colour, etc.

Also, make sure Resume in your Settings is on. It was on by Default for me, but it's probably best to check that so that can you can Resume your videos from where you left off.

You can use Night Player free or get the premium version, but the free version is great so far and has no ads either.

The visual quality that Night Player gives on your TV, especially if it's a decent size, is the best visual quality I've ever seen from an external media player that works with Stremio.

If you don't want to do anything sexually with a guy or feel pressured to perform on Grindr or any other app to impress any guy, leave that stress at the bottom of the ocean!

Go with what you are feeling at the present time. Check the vibes with the guy, regardless of how much you want him and are turned on by him, don't lose yourself in the exchange. Keep grounded. Log off, go outside, take a nice shower or do something else you enjoy to get a break from any pressures you feel to perform.

Your inner peace is all that matters and if you don't prioritise it, you'll end up with bad mental health, regrets, and general burnout. It's not worth doing that to yourself for ANY guy!

Don't let loneliness or desperation take over where you end up settling for a stressful or uncomfortable situation with a guy! It will erode your self-esteem in ways that are so insidious to the point where you will begin to be incapable of returning to yourself.

Don't force interactions or energy. The path of what's right for you will come to you or work out in the end if you value yourself and in turn you actually show value and respect towards the other guy even if you or they aren't aware of it at the time.

Do you think Techland has lost its passion and talent to keep the franchise epic?

It's hard to explain how phenomenal & magical the first Dying Light is, and while I loved The Beast as well, it was definitely too short and did feel like they cut corners in some ways.

If the next Dying Light game is set in a different location, do you think this will be a good choice to keep the franchise epic?

With Tymon leaving as well, do you think this will help make the next game better or worse?

How long did it take you to find all of the Notes in Dying Light & The Following?

I've been playing for years and still haven't found all of them. I have been circling around everywhere for years & looking in every place high and low.

I feel like it was easier finding most/all of the Notes in The Beast.

So how long did it take you to find all of the Notes?
