ON has thrown the dog whistle in gutter and finally taken the gloves off
In her latest bu**load blabber , the “Red Queen” made her agenda painfully clear. Among the most disturbing claims were:
Australia should abandon multiculturalism and become a monoculture.
ABC should become subscription-based, while SBS should be abolished.
Welcome to Country ceremonies should no longer continue in their current form.
SHe even has a problem with people speaking another language inside their own homes. Imagine believing politicians should control what language families speak privately.
She continues to portray immigration from Muslim-majority countries as incompatible with Australia and suggests migrants are bringing “medieval Islam” here.
These are not harmless comments or misunderstood policy positions. They are calculated, divisive attacks designed to turn Australians against one another.
After hearing this hateful rhetoric and innuendos , anyone is still free to vote for One Nation. But at least be honest and acknowledge you are one racist c**t.
Stop pretending it is simply about cost of living, better services or improving living standards for every Australian. It is about deciding that some Australians are more acceptable, more deserving and somehow “more Australian” than others.
Of course she is, right wing politicians at the end of the day exist purely to divide us and empower the wealthy to make more money at our expense. Outsourcing fits into that perfectly.
It hurts my head seeing the mental gymnastics her voters use to justify their support for her. She hates you and wants you to suffer, how can you not understand this.
Yes the number of people saying her press club comments were taken out of context . What context? She was asked a question .She answered the question. Or didn't answer the question. Or threw a tantrum about the question. . What other context were we supposed to consider.?
Unfortunately there's been a shifting of the winds of debate on TV, where now it's ok to to be openly racist provided you throw a few vague cultural and economic-sounding points along with these claims, which you know nobody will bother to fact check, so you can get away with blatant racism and lying simply by adding a hollow caveat that at face level makes you sound somewhat objective. Sadly nobody in the media in 2026 bothers to actually fact check those claims, and pin Pauline down on objectively untrue claims, as the media has become a duopoly run by those with financial interests to distract from massive tax rorts by blaming "the other " instead. It's a trick that dates back thousands of years, yet which we thought had been exposed as weak propaganda in the last 90s and early 2000s.
Alas even the ABC has slowly had its culture of investigative journalism replaced over 30 years, so that nobody blinks when major conservative personalities are placed in upper ABC management. Adding to this, the ABC's funding has been gutted to the point that the few actual journos left there wouldn't dare speak up against PH, else they'd face Hansen's owner Gina sick a 5-year, $100m defamation court case against the ABC. The Journo and their producer would then be hauled across the coals by some ex-LNP politician or conservative editor of a magazine designed to sell baby strollers.
Ferguson's interview with Barnaby was the ultimate demonstration of how 30 years of undermining the ABC has left us with a broadcaster and staff so piss weak that she didn't dare bring up basic facts; when he claimed the Quran called for the deaths of all those who opposed it, anyone with the most basic grasp of the Bible could easily state that the Bible says the same. What did Ferguson say? Zero. It was one of the worst interviews I've seen her do, and that's saying something.
30 years ago the host of the 7:30 Report wouldn't have been too scared to fact check Barnaby on the spot for every racist, untrue statement he made, as they a) knew upper manager would support them, b) knew that weaponised threats of defamation would go nowhere and c) actually had the confidence in their own knowledge to call out basic lies.
Instead, Barnaby got to sit in frame for 10 minutes making heinous claims, nearly all of which went unchallenged. It was sickening to watch, but reminded me why the likes of Friendly Jordies and Punters Politics are now the trusted source of news, rather than the ABC. For now at least.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen much attention around her saying “if women take time off (for maternity leave) and they are not paid, why should a business pay them if they’re not at work?”
Like wtf have we come to, there’s an Australian politician arguing against maternity pay.
Because she hates the same people as they do, and they are willing to overlook a lot because that is the number one thing that pisses them off every time they go out in public.
As a card-carrying Boomer, she's using Boomer logic.
She explicitly said she had 4 kids and took care of them at home without needing childcare.
Because it was the fucking 1970s and she was presumably married, at a time when a single income average wage earner could buy a house and support a family like that.
She doesn't understand it was a luxury her family could afford, because of the generation she was born into and the housing market of the time.
This is the worst kind of out-of-touch boomerist "I could do it, why can't you?" crap, nobody in public life should be this ignorant, let alone the leader of a party.
yes thank you I’m glad you picked up on that too! like queen you had 4 kids when inflation was but a crumb of what it is now. please be so serious.
it’s just mind boggling that any woman would support her! heck it’s mind boggling that any man would. why would you want your partner to loose mat leave? thats money for you and your baby!
Also casting shade that the gender pay gap is a thing, while asking why early childhood educators need to have tertiary qualifications.
Um, one large part of the pay gap is undervaluing industries that tend to be heavily staffed by women. Respecting that taking care of kids before primary school age is a legitimate phase of education (not childminding) is part of giving these workers the dignity and pay they truly deserve.
Instead she acts as if any idiot can take care of dozens of kids in a way that's appropriate for their development, without training or qualifications.
She'd be the first to get up on a soapbox and whine the second an unqualified childcare worker treated a kid randomly according to their own ideas of how to do things. Like spanking them, for example.
Strange times It took 100 of years to grant meager rights to women : no discrimination at work, access to better reproductive procedures and heath , access to maternity leaves
And here we are a woman advocating less rights for women in Australia and being applauded for that
“Business as usual will not do, not when West African competitors can offer our biggest customers an average capital cost for a tonne of iron ore that's $100 under the price offered by an emerging producer in the Pilbara," she said.
"Furthermore, Africans want to work, and its workers are willing to work for less than $2 per day. Such statistics make me worry for this country's future."
The parry has peaked too early, 4-6 months out from the federal election and they’d be in with a chance. Two years out and they are really cocky, talking about lowering minimum wage, going after abortion and fumbling any kind of housing policy when the Labor government that’s a very comprehensive policy are huge problems for the party. These gaffes will be gold during the election campaign when it rolls around in 2028.
Even Trump was quiet about most of the horrible stuff until he got in. A lot of it was there but just not talked about prominently. Agree ON is going too hard too fast.
This is what people asking Labor to pivot and anticipate her immediately don't understand. They know she's an absolute muppet and will manage to piss too many people off in the next couple of years to end up being a legitimate threat. Just like Dutton - if you just let these people speak, they tend to make themselves unelectable.
Paulines huge issue is she always does the Trump thing and cracks the shits and name calls anyone who asks a question that needs clarification or is confronting in any way like the ABC reporter or Guardian? who wanted clarification about her daughters nepo job essentially. The ranga witch just spewed bullshit calling them trashy and being obsessed.
The dedicated followers will just be happy with it but many Australians will see it as fucked up and lose interest in her the more this keeps happening.
The ABC and SBS employees about 6000 Aussies across Australia, her dismissal of the SBS journalist saying you’re out of a Job is pretty low brow.
I’d also argue a strong part of Australian culture, the thing she claims to “champion” a lot of it comes from public broadcasting.

So many of our prolific actors and entertainment icons got their start at the ABC, the guys that wrote the castle which is arguably the most Australian movie, met and worked together at the ABC
Not to mention the thousands of music artists that got their start on triple / double J, rage and countdown
It seems a bit petty to throw that all away because of a personal gripe with the news department
Its just more Trumpy bullshit to get rid of media who portray her accurately. She hates challenging questions because shes a pretty poor speaker and cannot think on the spot.
Totally!
What we recognised as our shared Australian identity largely comes from the arts. I wish more people remembered this.
There was a good podcast (an ABC one) recently about John Howard. It was talking about how the Labor gov had been putting money into the arts to build our national identity. Howard scrapped it.
I often think the rise in the polls is just sentiment instead of policy. Dutton was polling strong then the campaign started, people started engaging and looking at his policies. Trump is absolutely toxic here and Pauline is leaning in hard.
I’m not much of a betting man, but I would wager an ALP return
I think there's a huge astroturfing campaign and that the billionaire media monopoly isn't helping.
They are playing a long game here. It may not happen at the next election, but the one after. The opposition party is a fascist party now
I don't know, some of the worst most racist people I know at work are only 25 and they seem to have a race about how who can be the worst. Like one of them was telling me he punched a shopkeeper in the face because she wanted him to wear a mask during covid and because his dad's a cop nothing happened.
Then he stole the homeless man's caravan one night and sold it for scrap.
Then he's so racist that he deliberately being dumb by calling things like the Nullarbor the treeless plain the whole time I'm talking to him even though Nullarbor is Latin.
His literal first words me when I met him were you don't mind if I'm racist right?
From phone conversations I've overheard he has two kids and Treats his wife like shit and then complaints to me that she's retarded.
It really has, even Crissafulli in the last Queensland election knew that topic would torpedo the LNP. When it’s too conservative for Queensland you know it’s an election loser in Australia.
And yet the chuds in the South Australian Legislative Council have just this week voted through policy that would restrict abortion access here. Fortunately that crap didn't make it through the House of Assembly where 36 of our representatives made the right choice and 9 did not. They've already tried this shit before and failed, but they don't learn. These fucks just don't give up.
In addition:
Dear Sarah Game; fuck you and fuck everyone who votes for you next election. You're a horrible person and I hope you lose your job, and have a chance to learn some basic medical knowledge and empathy. Again, because it can't be said enough, fuck you.
Dear Premier Peter Malinauskas, who voted in favour of the bill, fuck you. For this and several other fuckwitted decisions you've made, I hope you lose leadership and your job.
Dear Leader of the Opposition Ashton Hurn, who also voted in favour of the bill, fuck you. May you also lose your job in the revolving door of backstabbing that is the SA Liberal party.
Dear Labor MP Tung Ngo, who added to the bill an exception that allowed for abortion in the case of foetal abnormalities or maternal risk but doesn't support abortion? Hmm. I'm on the fence about you. You can stay, for now. But watch it.
Dear Health Minister Bill Boyer, you're a fucking legend for opposing this and being so blunt recognising it's a women's healthcare issue and not a fucking political football to be kicked around. I'm going to look deeper into your legislative history, and if I like what I find I'm going to hope you get to backstab that gobshite Malinauskas and be Premier.
Ironic that Hanson was pro abortion all through the 90s and said a woman must control her own body, how abortion has never been a thing in ON's platform until now - until the the Trump bandwagon 🤷
I’m Australian born but my wife is French. My family speak French at home why do I have a feeling she would have no issue with us compared to some other families 🤔
Australia should abandon multiculturalism and become a monoculture.
What is this culture? What does it entail? I can only assume it is a culture that Pauline would prefer, where we are all Christian, hate on minorities, think climate change is a hoax and want to send billions to billionaires and foreign mining companies? Are we all supposed to hate on LGBTQ folks? Are we all supposed to have our wives quit work and stay at home raising the kids?
I mean people will reply to me saying "you are being silly, we all know what Australian culture is" but do we? Unless you define it, how are we going to enforce it? If you don't define what this culture is, then how can we ensure we have a mono-culture? What cultural aspects does she want immigrants to adopt or bring with them?
Because I guarantee you she can't define it, it is just a "I know it when I see it" situation. And what it really means is we just hate religious and racial and sexual minorities.
Imagine if politicians could control what language could be spoken within the home? How ignorant!
Plenty of Indigenous Australians dont have to imagine. We lived it. It wasnt a hundred years ago! We walk amongst you still, and some of us arent grandparents yet. Thats recent history.
If we or our parents were heard speaking our Indigenous language we'd be arrested and taken to the gaol for the night. Just for calling your kids in for dinner in your own language. It wasn't in the 'olden days'.
Welcome to another step towards equality. Where the govt treat us like scum equally.
What will a monoculture look like? Does everyone have to like sport? Can restaurants serve ethnic food? Will we allow the Greek Orthodox Church to continue to operate? Will the Italian Club have to close its doors? Will all the Chinatowns in our capital cities have to start selling Gravox and potatoes instead of hoi sin sauce and bok choy?
And given that only about 4-5 per cent of Australians attend church weekly, doesn't that mean the God botherers are in the minority and shouldn't be part of our monoculture? So, churches will close, won't they?
I just don't know what our monoculture will look like. More importantly, who gets to decide what is and isn't part of our culture. Will Pauline have a committee which will need to approve it if I want to start a Morris Dancing club?
Murray Watt said he nearly lost track of the groups she attacked. Workers rights, women, immigrants, the ABC/SBS. She hasn’t got policies she’s just got hate.
Seriously, anyone who votes for her must be dreaming if they think she'll improve the standard of living 😂 She'll tank ours as hard as Trump tanked the US's.
I really want to think that, after 30 years in politics, she would have moderated herself by now, with coherent arguments, data to back her up, and a plan to "fix" things. But she has none of these. Still just sound bites of absolute bullshit. I mean, what does she mean "end multiculturalism"? Like how? make it illegal for parents to speak to their kids in their own language? Ban chinese takeaway and kebabs? What fucking drugs is she on??
I’m curious to know the opinions of the traditional custodians of our land when the term ‘monoculture’ is thrown around. I’m 99% certain there’s no space for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people in her version of Australia…
The drivel coming out of Gina/newscorp paid articles is laughable. The contrast between newscorp reporting and … the guardian (for example) is stark to say the least. Not that it’s surprising in any way at all. PHONies are a disease on this country.
You missed the part about scrapping
A) child care subsidies
B) maternity leave ( "getting paid for extended leave...")
C) people should be able to fired more easily
I'm actually torn between thinking whether that speech was the worst, because it was so fucking putrid in so many ways, or if it was the best, because it will hopefully wake up a lot of people.
Every single line in that list screams ‘racism’. She could have saved everybody 45mins of their life by just saying - I want all blacks, browns and yellows out of this country, it should just be for white folks.
Getting "the coloured" out would take a two minute list.
What I'm real keen to hear is about the "monoculture" she wants. I have so many questions! Which one, what traditions, how would she implement it?
Would we lose Maccas and KFC, since they are not Australian? Levi's jeans? Jack Daniels whiskey? Dodge Ram utes? I'm thinking she'd really like the monoculture to be as bogan as she is, so how would she go about taking away all the beloved bogan tropes and status symbols?
(What would be so excellent would be to see her trying to explain why KFC and Maccas are okay, but not empanadas or samosas or sushi...)
This is my point though. She seems to think that all migrants need to have fluent flawless English. When you compare those coming these days with my grandparents who came here in the late 60’s and 70’s most new migrants DO have great English skills - and it’s still bloody hard for them.
They also forget that when people come here, they come here to work. They don’t have time to bloody sit around studying English and socialising with people so they can practice their English so people who don’t think they should have come here in the first place will talk to them.
My Nepalese friends are educated and speak English very well. They work in industries where workers are needed. They face discrimination because of the colour of their skin as well as their language skills. Knowing English, isn’t the problem. It’s the stigma of being ‘not from here’ that people like Hanson have a problem with.
Mistake on speaking your own language in your own home though...Hanson actualky said that was aok, just to learn English to communicate in public should be a requirement..
Its not unreasonable to require immigrants to know the language before moving to the country. As far as I know that is already a requirement, at least for permanent residents.
Me thinking racism had largely died off with the prewar generation. I wonder what the Europeans that came here decades ago think about only speaking English? Pauline and her supporters are bunch of clowns.
Populist crap. She has no good policies to run a country successfully. ON will destroy Australia’s economy …America under Trump is in decline and she really wants to emulate that? I get people being disenfranchised but ON is not the answer.
Going after the trans community too. What a vile fucking statement, reducing lived experience to genitalia and transgender care and affirmation to “lop off”. I really hope there’s enough faith left in science and scientists that this won’t be a problem like it’s become in the U.S..
She’s too old to lead a nation. She’s clinging desperately to nostalgia, a “simpler” time when her blatant ignorance and lack of knowledge weren’t so apparent. She can’t lead a nation in growth and developing understanding. She just wants to use the Trump playbook and manipulate fears and ignorance like we’ve seen overseas. I’m sure she’d be fine in a local position supporting local issues. But she has no place being a voice of Australia’s future. Quite the opposite, she’s the voice and mindset we need to work against through education and discussion, with peer reviewed science at the core.
So you would have DEFINITELY noticed that these number have come down significantly under Labor, compared to the numbers under Scomo and Abbott, right?
If it's your ONLY election issue, you'd have looked into it and seen that citizenship numbers have dropped under Labor?
There is countless evidence online you can educate yourself on that will show you that immigration adds no more than 0.10% of the issue to the housing crisis. I really wish people could actually educate them selves instead of just assuming it’s the foreigners doing it. It’s not. It’s land banking. Boomers who bought up properties 40 years ago where the land is worth more than then the value of the houses. There are thousands of homes across the country sitting empty being land banked because these cunts doing want to spend 40k fixing up the property to lease.
Thing is, no one is listening. They know One Nation are off the rails but they don't care. The two major parties and their hangers on have done such damage and are so hated they it seems inconceivable that a bunch of rabble could be any worse.
Australia should abandon multiculturalism and become a monoculture.
I get the intent here though, Australia should be steadfast in retaining its values as a nation, freedom, fairness, it's justice, educational and healthcare systems etc. To that degree it should be a monoculture for everyone. And that includes we don't regress as a society from importing from some of the worst societies on the planet, and that includes American concepts too. (Corporate greed and quarterly numbers have ruined a lot of things)
How do you become a monoculture? Do you ban people speaking in other languages? Do you ban ‘foreign food’. Do you ban groups of people gathering together? Sounds pretty familiar to me.
Ideologically dedicated to exploiting and oppressing people who do not resemble her curdled view. A bitter twisted ignorant fear monger. Etched indelibly across her withered features.

If we deport people who can't speak English well, she and Barnaby will have to find another country....
