Fucken hell! One Nation has taken over Barnaby’s entire electorate.

Australia’s first and only treaty signed with Indigenous peoples will be ripped up if Opposition Leader Jess Wilson becomes Premier in November, who has made the scrapping a priority. The USA, Canada and New Zealand have treaties with their indigenous people. Polling shows Treaty has clear support in Victoria and Jess Wilson’s pledge is unpopular and One Nation-style.

The Coalition will likely sign a deal with One Nation to form government.

I don’t want to start a huge fight in the comments, I just have been getting so many protest content on my socials and it is scaring me how the protest AGAINST is sparking the opposite effect. Social media is so manipulative but is there really a giant uprise in OneNation voters or are these bots? I don’t want to hear why people THINK Pauline Hansen should be PM or why she shouldn’t I just need more closure on if one nation has won most people their
vote or not thank you

This is partly a real question, and partly rhetorical. And also to save my sanity, because whenever some stupid comment of hers is aired on the radio news, she drives me frantic. Her asinine stupidity, her whinging voice, her deplorably bad English, and her complete and utter lack of understanding of anything at all, has me shouting at the radio in fury, trying to drown out her bleating. Never before has a public figure from any side of politics has had such a visceral effect on me. I wish she'd just go away.

And of course I'm terrified that PHON will gain seats at the upcoming Vic state election. They deserve less than none.

I have the lowest opinion possible of her, her party members, and her followers.

That's fucked up.

The more policies that Pauline Hanson announces, the more I suspect that we should be calling the party "Gina Reinhart's One Nation".

The policy announcements time and time again just seem to me be coming from a mindset that really has no understanding of what an average australian has to decide with.

No compulsory super? I mean, c'mon. And yeah, I know that there are those in the LNP(?) that would probably like to see and and to this too.

But this is usually the kind of shenanigans one suggests once in power. Like the GST.

Instead, this new wave of policies reads like someone who suggest we should be enriching uranium because "nuclear explosives would be cheaper to use in the mines"

Why are there so many influencers suddenly promoting one nation out of no where

They will find any clip of something bad thats happened, stitch it and immediately somehow connect it to one nation is the final solution for everything.

And no it doesn’t matter if they get a fact wrong in their video because everyone will take anything at face value and accept it because it might make sense the first time they look through it.

I feel like this type of content is made to paint Australia as a third world warzone but life here is pretty fucking good 95% of the time

Paul Toole on Instagram: "Labor’s renewable energy ideology should NEVER come before our ANZAC heritage. The Paling Yards wind farm developer still wants to move massive wind turbine components along Oberon’s 100 year old ANZAC Memorial Avenue of Trees. And what’s their solution? Slow the trucks down and hope they don’t damage them. That’s simply not good enough. This wind farm can find another route or go and pack your bags and go somewhere else. We cannot replace a living memorial to Australians who never came home. The project is now before the Federal Government and you can make your voice heard by lodging a submission by 13th August. 👉

Family lunch, and my right-leaning uncle was telling me how there is going to be a shake-up in Australian politics with a new, never been seen before, party based on the Magna Carta.

He has not read the Magna Carta. He doesn't know what it is, but he's in full support of it. His understanding is that laws will be wiped clean with every election. And police will make the laws stick.

From what I gathered, no immigration, no government handouts, no taxation, free health care (including dentistry), better quality doctors, better pensions, better buying power, no electronic payments (all cash), return to the gold standard.

He's 83, with cognitive dissonance.

So, what is he actually on about?

Also, can someone please let me know why a 13th century document limiting a kings power on taxation is the answer to modern politics?

TIA

One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce has accused “socialist” school teachers of encouraging students to participate in protests against his party on Thursday, as Education Minister Jason Clare cautions children to stay in class and move their protest to the weekend.

The nationwide “students say no to Hanson” protest, with events in state and territory capitals, is hoping to attract thousands of students angry at the ascendent party’s policies, particularly on changes to the school curriculum regarding Australian history and gender

“[Students have] been told to hate this country, and they’ve been advised by people – because it’s not on the students’ own volition – they’ve been advised by a clique of people who have a political purpose,” Joyce said on Wednesday.

Do you honestly believe … that three weeks ago those children of their own volition were saying: ‘I think I’m going to have a political protest against a political party?’ No, they just wanted to go to school and play soccer with their mates.

“Socialist teachers, left-wing teachers are making their statement and using the kids as a prop, and that’s very, very wrong.”

The first known photo of stone age remote work

Firstly, I wasn’t aware peak business lobby groups in Victoria had extensively study workplace relations in that epoch of human history but I managed to dig up a photo stone age remote work and it appears it may have resulted in greater productivity. Better him being relatively safe in the cave than out in the wilds presenting a hearty dinner for a sabre tooth tiger. Warmer as well.

Or could it be that anytime insecure and often mediocre bosses sense employees having some freedom there is a reactionary backlash from the mob that are accustomed to always getting their own way for the past several decades that has resulted in a serious decline in union membership and worker rights.

What actually resides in a historical period that is redundant is the idea that employees need to be eyeballed in the office to be motivate to work. Goodness knows organisations has sophisticated monitoring tools that will threaten the docking of pay if activity isn’t regularly detected on their remotely logged in terminal. That is usually in addition to these insecure mediocre assholes spying on mobile phone activity even though that probably breaks privacy ethics if not laws (it should break laws)

At the same time we want more kids for Daddy govt to maintain a sufficient future taxpayer base but we are creating more hardships for those who work remotely while caring for kids.
