Hanson is a fucking disgrace: a rancid little merchant of resentment who sells cruelty as courage, division as patriotism, and fear mongering as leadership. This 👇 is Hanson’s politics in one clip: suspicion first, facts never, and contempt either way.

Pauline Hanson's core policy platform: gay people bad, migrants bad, science bad, experts bad, and progress generally bad.

Josh Frydenberg asked, “How did they come here?” Sajid Akram arrived under Howard. He received a gun licence under Abbott. His Aus born son was assessed and cleared by ASIO under Morrison, with Frydenberg in the Cabinet. That’s the answer, Josh. /2

An exquisitely stupid myth: That Australia sat on immense oil riches for decades and nobody in government, business, or finance managed to notice.... until Angus arrived for the great unveiling. My god this is ridiculous.

No idea if this is true, but my brain immediately screamed déjà vu. Pretty sure the current Member for Kew is halfway through their metamorphosis into the former Member for Kew. And yes, I’ve got the receipts. 1/3

Day 2 of ignoring council orders at Kew pre-poll, and the Liberals have escalated - they’ve sent in Liberals in blazers to show they mean business. Council officers are snapping pics. Hope the Liberals have budgeted for fines. Those fossil fuel donations will come in handy.

Another Jess Wilson rage-farm special, this time whinging about a pet-registration fee rise, omitting the key fact that it amounts to 8.6c a week and funds the RSPCA. Selective outrage, driven with the same finesse her Liberal Kew predecessor Tim Smith showed behind the wheel.

When the Liberals leave out rudimentary details, it’s usually because you wouldn’t like them. Which taxes exactly? How much are they?

Dave Hughes booked a flight to the US, failed to get the required ESTA, turned up at the airport anyway, and has now completed the only process that interested him: blaming everyone else.

There is something deeply unsettling about how quickly Barnaby turns this level of anger on his dog. That degree of anger toward an animal is not normal. And he is doing it on national television.

Councillor Rob Baillieu has tabled a report showing that if rate exemptions currently given to religious site and private schools, the average rate payer in Boroondara would save $865 over a decade. How much of a free ride do Churches need?

The right demands we defend “Australian culture” while steadfastly refusing to say what it is. So let me help: Australian culture is the freedom to tell Barnaby Joyce he’s a dog-whistling imbecile whose contribution peaked asleep on a footpath.

Raf Epstein has assessed Karl's recent work as, and I quote, 'bullshit'. And it's the most accurate take so far.

If you’re not following Henry Bretz on Instagram, fix that. His piss-take of Karl Stefanovic and Tommy Robinson is hilarious because, unfortunately for Karl, it’s basically documentary.

The unbridled lack of irony in Karl Stefanovic talking about bland mainstream media personalities is incredible. A man who has spent decades proving that you can be on television every morning and still somehow leave no detectable trace on human thought.

Dave Hughes is proof that you can add geography to ignorance and still not get insight. You can explain the energy transition to him, but you cannot understand it for him.

Chris Minns continues to suggest that 300,000+ Sydneysiders who participated in march for humanity are somehow responsible for the actions of the two terrorists. It is one of the most absurd propositions ever advanced in Australian politics.

Most One Nation voters don't care how insane the policy is. But this is a ripper: the interview opens with a plan to evict 400,000 permanent residents and seize their homes for the govt. So unhinged even Barnaby thought wtf and returned to do the interview again. All true👇

Pauline Hanson adopting Gina Rinehart’s plan to get people in their 70s and 80s back to work is inspiring stuff. My grandmother just turned 103 and is pretty lazy these days. Perhaps it's time for Gina to harden her up with a job in the mines.

According to Pauline Hanson, asking for policy costings is a “stupid question” - because One Nation has never been serious enough about policy to survive real scrutiny. One Nation doesn’t build policy - it sells slogans.

It is very much an issue for you Pauline Hanson 🇦🇺. If neo-Nazis keep finding something to like in your party, the answer is not to get huffy at the question. The answer is to ask: why do Nazis like what we stand for? Start there, and work backwards.

This is performative bullshit and a waste of everyone's time. A no-confidence motion when you hold 19 seats to Labor's 56 isn't politics, it's theatre. Is behaving like adults genuinely beyond the Liberals under Jess Wilson?

Jeff Kennett introduced the '3,000 days as Premier = statue' rule just before the 1999 election, which he expected to win, having already clocked over 2,500+ days himself. So naturally Jess Wilson is now pretending this had nothing to do with Jeff Kennett or the Liberal Party.

Andrew Hastie’s pitch: a cringe video next to a 1970 Ford pretending Australia stopped making cars because we abandoned coal and gas. Tiny problem: Ford, Holden, Toyota and Mitsubishi bailed when our grid was nearly 100% fossil fuels. To win, the Libs need voters to be stupid.

Michaelia Cash’s brilliant plan in 2019 for Johnny was to lock him into a vehicle that costs nearly $300 a week to fill up, forever. That was the moribund, visionless LNP model: resist the future and leave Johnny paying for their 1950s nostalgia.
