Pauline Hanson and One Nation are now refusing to appear on the ABC altogether, cos they're too scared to face tough questions. This reminds me of the time Tony Abbott banned his ministers from appearing on Qanda. No ticker. #auspol #OneNation #FreedomOfSpeech

GP visits to be free for most under #Labor's $8.5 billion #Medicare election promise. The #ABC's Jane Norman: "Labor is UNASHAMEDLY using government money to to guarantee greater access to basic services" Why the actual F should Labor be ashamed? #journalism #insiders #auspol

Liberal Party Senator Jane Hume: "The average mortgage holder... has paid an additional $50k a YEAR...". Hume is helping out Angus Taylor with the Liberal Party costings due today. Clown show. 🤡 #LNP #AusVotes25 #AusVotes2025 #auspol

Dave Hughes, who paid $500k OVER the reserve for a Block house in 2018, falsely claims #property prices in Victoria have been FALLING for TEN YEARS. This is what happens when you get your 'facts' from 3AW, Sky News and Bec Judd. #auspol #cookers #RealEstate

Pauline Hanson's One Nation, the party of FREE SPEECH, has banned the ABC from it's election room cos the ABC covered the UK sexual assault claims against candidate Aoi Baxter. #auspol #OneNation #SAElection #sapol #FreedomOfSpeech

Dave Hughes thinks there's a government conspiracy to out him as a cooker, with paid social media pile-ons. It's ok for celebs to saturate the podcast market with lies &amp; unhinged pile-ons against Labor, but the little people talk back and the elite cry foul. #auspol #cookers

James Massola gets ONE question for One Nation's Pauline Hanson at the National Press Club, and his question is: "Is Australia in danger of being swamped by Jews?" He said Muslims, but, same diff. Racism 101. Harking back to 1996 'Asians' quote? #auspol #OneNation #NPC #racism

Sky News hatemonger Sharri Markson hijacks the National Day of Mourning ceremony for the VICTIMS of the #BondiBeach terror attack to launch a hateful tirade against Labor and Muslims. Reminder: Murdoch incited the 2018 Pittsburgh Synagogue terror attack that killed 10. #auspol

LNP's James Patterson (#IPA): 🔹"I'm not worried about (#Woolworths) going out of business" 🔹"Australians... don't want⬆️weighing into divisive political debates". It didn't. Dutton did. 🔹"unsurprising to see the Prime Minister defend⬆️. He always defends big business" #auspol

Jacinta Price thinks she's on the road to become the Liberal Party's next Prime Minister. Hopefully Sky News keeps feeding this delusion. Which safe Liberal Party seat is she going to parachute into? Are there any left? #LNP #auspol

One Nation’s Pauline Hanson is speaking at the National Press Club Tuesday. This isn’t a test for Hanson, we know she’ll talk BS. This is a test for Canberra’s journos. They'll be intimidated. They won't go hard. They'll fail. The Gish Gallop. #auspol #insiders #OneNation #NPC

Pauline Hanson's been in politics for 30 years. What's she achieved? She's made herself rich of the backs of suckers. #auspol #insiders #OneNation

Labor's Tanya Plibersek makes the outrageous demand that Australia's journalists start asking some tough questions of #OneNation's Pauline Hanson. That's not how #journalism works in Australia. Labor gets the tough questions. The others get Dorothy Dixers. #auspol

2023: Nikki Savva offers free advice to Peter Dutton and the Liberal Party in the wake of their shock loss in the Aston by-election. They didn't listen to Savva. They listened to Peta Credlin and Rowan Dean. #LNP #AusVotes2025 #insiders #abc730 #auspol

#ABC news director Justin Stevens ran Trump rallies uninterrupted for hours, but when the Oz PM is giving a major update to the public about 30 pieces of legislation he gets cut off after just 150 seconds. Any questions from journalists? 🤷‍♂️ #journalism #misinformation #auspol

Andrew Clennell (#SkyNews) &amp; Ashley Raper (#TenNews) push the 'hasty generalisation' logical fallacy about #CostOfLiving. Intent: - Clennell: Everyone is worse off. - Raper: Most are worse off. Albo hits them for six. #Election2025 #journalism #misinformation #auspol

Charlie Pickering claims abuse victim Grace Tame's new ABC podcast is problematic, while appearing on the podcast of self-confessed neo-Nazi and convicted wife-beater Avi Yemini. 🧐 Pickering &amp; Pauline Hanson. Two peas in a pod. #auspol #Israel #OneNation #DomesticViolence

#Labor welcomes the new MP for #Dickson, Ali France. #AusVotes2025 #auspol

One Nation's Pauline Hanson on Russian dictator Vladimir Putin after he killed 35 Australians on flight MH17: "I respect the man. He is very patriotic. The people love him. He is doing so well for the country." AS AN AUSTRALIAN... PH should FO to #Russia. #OneNation #auspol

Vic Liberal MP James Newbury tweeted that Victorians are coming for Jacinta Allan's Labor with baseball bats. Both Allan &amp; Dan Andrews and their partners &amp; children have been the subject of death threats from a NOISY MINORITY of Sky News cookers. #auspol #springst #HateSpeech
