  6. Poor Lean and her PHONy gaggle are very excited with the first House of Reps win in her entire THIRTY years staining a Senate seat. 😆 Ah, but the cold, brutal reality...

  17. Senator Jordan Stell-John has just deliverred his response to #PaulineHanson’s call for an Inquiry into the #NDIS that has absolutely demolished her arguments and called her out as an outrageous #Ablist. His response reminds everyone that fraud in the disability support sector is decades old, perhaps centuries old and service provider #fraud ought to be prosecuted for it. The disabled community are the vicitms here and #Hanson’s digusting ‘hear-say’ proposal was a ignominious slurr.

  18. "Pauline Hanson accessed a taxpayer-funded rebate scheme to install solar power on her Queensland home, despite calling for an end to public subsidies for renewable energy projects."

  19. The immediate way to signal this is to position the Greens as fighting Trump and all his Australian allies, from #Hanson to #Albanese. The idea that One Nation is uniquely beyond the pale has been abandoned by the Liberals and Nationals, with all three seeking to occupy the same territory.

  20. "Merry Christmas Baby" is an #RAndB Christmas standard credited to Lou Baxter and Johnny Moore. In 1947, #JohnnyMooresThreeBlazers recorded the tune, featuring vocals and piano by #CharlesBrown. Subsequently, many performers have recorded renditions of the song, including #ChuckBerry, #JamesBrown, #IkeAndTinaTurner, #OtisRedding, #BBKing, #ElvisPresley, #BruceSpringsteen, #Hanson, #ChristinaAguilera, and #MelissaEtheridge.

    still finding this book illuminating… and can’t recommend it highly enough. it’s free, but i hope this price does not suffer the giffen effect and put people off

    Why Intolerance and Extremism Happen
    Teri Kanefield

    after discussing yellow journalism, the psychology of rage in news etc, Teri says

    “Enter Stage Right, the Performance Master of Outrage, Donald Trump
     
    [SHE MIGHT JUST AS WELL BE DESCRIBING PAULINE HANSON]

    Into this environment came Donald Trump, a product of the current media environment. Before running for President, he was a reality TV show host. He therefore understands how this all works. Among the things he understands is that the way to get more media coverage is to be as outrageous as possible. Remember that Trump is not conservative. He doesn’t want to conserve anything. He wants change, and he wants it fast. He therefore benefits from continually stoking outrage. He pulls people into an outrage cycle that looks like this:
     He does something outrageous that shocks or enrages his critics.
    The same act thrills his supporters because it carries symbolic significance. The act, in some form, lands a blow on the liberal establishment.
    When his critics exhibit a strong reaction, his supporters feel an even greater thrill because he is proving he can take on the enemy. “Trump is a radical,” they say approvingly. “He is upsetting the applecart. He is fighting for us.”
    Meanwhile, Trump keeps himself center stage and controls the conversation”

    “In Demagogue for President: The Rhetorical Genius of Donald Trump, Texas A&M University professor Jennifer Mercieca stood against the crowd of Trump-mockers and argued that Trump’s gaffes are not gaffes. She pointed out, for example, that he effectively uses a device known as ad populum (“appeal to the crowd”) by deliberately positioning his lack of political correctness as genuineness. He positions speaking in a manner acceptable to the mainstream as being “scripted,” which he then equates with going along with corruption. The result is that the more outrageous his comments, the more “truthful” he appears to his supporters and the more they admire him.”

    [imo, there is a trap australian labour has fallen into, and is exacerbating by refusing to move even one inch back to the left — the more people feel dis-enfranchised by inaction on important issues, indifferent legislation and indifference to the decay of the public service, the greater the risk people will start to admire the seeming frankness of people with even more shit values than labor]

  22. Rechtsextreme Abgeordnete kassiert heftige Kritik für Burka-Auftritt.

    Die Rechtsextremistin Pauline #Hanson kam bereits zum zweiten Mal mit einer #Burka ins Parlament in #Canberra, um gegen Muslime Stimmung zu machen. Ihre Kolleginnen ließen sie damit nicht durchkommen. spiegel.de/ausland/pauline-han

  23. #Auspol #Hanson

    Australia decades from now will be ruled by a multi-racial, lesbian, part-cyborg president, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has written.
    The post-apocalyptic sci-fi prediction in the outspoken politician’s book The Truth claims in 2050, the country of “Australasia” will be run by president Poona Li Hung.

    Ms Hung, a lesbian, is of multiracial descent, of Indian and Chinese background and was felt by the World Government to be a most suitable president,” Senator Hanson wrote in her book.
    “She is also part machine – the first cyborg president.”

    ——

    hmm.. a choice between Ms Hung and Pauline Hanson… 🤔

  24. No one can hear but you're screaming so loud
    You feel like you're all alone in a faceless crowd
    Isn't it strange how we all are a little bit late sometimes.

  25. I was today years old when I finally checked out the 2010 one-off supergroup #TintedWindows (featuring members of #SmashingPumpkins, #FountainsOfWayne, #CheapTrick, and.......#Hanson?) ...and it definitely has the glammy "bazooka rock" of Cheap Trick as its spine. It's delightfully catchy, energetic and listenable: youtube.com/watch?v=fmbRRBVjTd
