Pauline Hanson is not challenging the elites, she’s one of them. She’s using her position to protect her own interests and back her billionaire mates.

While she distracts with division, the battlers and people she says she stands for are being left behind.

Over recent years, One Nation has been forced to repay over $200k in wrongly claimed election spending. It's not clear how much personal wealth Hanson has, but she recently loaned $245k to her own party and refuses to say where the money came from.

She has previously failed to declare gifts from billionaire Gina Rinehart, failed to properly disclose business interests and shareholdings, and her daughter has been installed into a plum $180k taxpayer-funded role in a One Nation office.

She claims to stand up for working people, but today we've found out she billed taxpayers thousands of dollars for flights and chauffeurs to attend One Nation fundraisers.

Senator Hanson can distract with culture wars and call me a bitch as much as she wants - her record tells the real story of what she's about. 🧡

Thorpe criticises government inaction over NT Administrator appointment as Larrakia Elder is arrested during protests Senator Lidia Thorpe says the federal government should have done more to block the appointment of David Connolly as Northern Territory Administrator, after he was sworn in on Friday amid protests out...

It is completely disingenuous for the Minister for Indigenous Australians to claim she stands with our people against David Connolly.

Her own government signed off on his appointment and holds the power to remove him, but refuses to.

Malarndirri, now that you’ve found your activist voice, I guess I'll see you at the next deaths in custody rally?

And I’ll expect to see you fighting just as hard to get 10-year-old children out of prison.

It’s the same refusal we see when it comes to using federal powers to stop the NT Government from targeting and locking up our children.

That power exists but the Albanese government refuse to use it.

By failing to act, they are part of the problem.

Their inaction sends a clear message that they still endorse this man, no matter what the Minister may say at a microphone. She’s protesting something she can change.

The Minister for Aboriginal Australians, Malarndirri McCarthy, was there. She denounced the new Administrator.

But it is completely disingenuous to claim she stands with our people against David Connolly when her own government signed off on his appointment and holds the power to remove him.

Eric is a staunch defender of his Country and his people. It is utterly shameful that police would treat an Elder this way on Larrakia land.

NT Police must publicly apologise.

This morning, as mob and allies gathered in Darwin to protest the appointment of racist NT Administrator David Connolly, NT Police arrested and manhandled respected Larrakia Elder Eric Fejo on his own Country.

Racism against First Peoples and Black and brown communities is rising. The Government must take direct, serious action.

They can start by implementing the National Anti-Racism Strategy, which has sat untouched for over a year.

It’s time to show our lives matter too.

Now the Commissioner has made it clear the inquiry will not examine racism against First Peoples or other communities.

The Government can no longer use this Royal Commission to deflect responsibility for tackling racism.

The Albanese Government refused to expand the terms of reference for the Antisemitism Royal Commission to examine racism against First Peoples and other communities.

Instead, they claimed vague β€œsocial cohesion” wording would cover everything 🧡

My love is with the Lakemba community, and with First Peoples and black and brown people being targeted right now. We should not have to beg to be kept safe.

We deserve better. I will not stop calling this out until this country treats white supremacist violence with the seriousness it demands.

People should be able to go to a mosque, to protest, to celebrate Ramadan, to live their lives without looking over their shoulder, and without the threat of white-supremacist violence.

20.02.2026 04:22 β€” πŸ‘ 141    πŸ” 24    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 1

And the Anti-Semitism Royal Commission’s terms of reference must be expanded to explicity address all forms of racist hate and white supremacist violence.

The government could start by formally responding to the National Anti-Racism Framework delivered by the Australian Human Rights Commission over a year ago.

If they are serious about tackling racism, that work cannot sit on a shelf.

20.02.2026 04:22 β€” πŸ‘ 131    πŸ” 37    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 1

Words of concern are not enough. Where is the concrete action? Where is the coordinated response to white supremacist extremism?

20.02.2026 04:22 β€” πŸ‘ 116    πŸ” 22    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 1

We’ve seen neo-Nazis attack Camp Sovereignty, white supremacist terrorism unleashed against Aboriginal people on Invasion Day in Boorloo, and now our Muslim brothers and sisters being targeted during Ramadan.

The Albanese Government must treat this as the national security threat it is.

20.02.2026 04:22 β€” πŸ‘ 143    πŸ” 39    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 1

It is absolutely shocking that years after threats against First Peoples and Muslim communities were first reported, no one has been held accountable.

How many warnings does this country need?

White supremacy is not fringe. It is organised, persistent and escalating.

This is a person who has been targeting Black and brown communities for years β€” and who remains at large. Senator Fatima Payman has also been targeted. And now during Ramadan, Muslim communities are being threatened, with references to the Christchurch massacre.

This week, when I saw the letters sent to Lakemba Mosque, I immediately knew that it was the same perpetrator. The same distinct handwriting, language and misspellings, and the same stamps made using a bullet dipped in ink.

Menacing letters sent to politicians bear hallmarks of Sydney mosque threats The ABC can reveal two of the threatening, hate-filled letters sent to Lakemba Mosque this month bear close resemblance to similar racist letters sent to multiple politicians since 2022.

Three years ago a series of racist threatening letters were sent to the Victorian Greens. They were covered in white supremacist hate, swastikas and explicit threats against my life and my family. They were reported to police. But as far as I know nothing came of it 🧡

Dumping Arrernte Senator Liddle from the Indigenous portfolio for Julian Leeser is a shameful move.

Kerrynne understands the realities mob face, is hardworking and across the detail.

This is just hollow politics and Leeser will be useless.

All I can say: Fantastic. Great move. Well done, Angus.

When attacks have occurred against other communities, the government has spoken out strongly and acted quickly.

First Peoples are asking why this attack against us is being treated so differently.

Here's what they should do:

Albanese must lead a strong response to the Boorloo Day of Mourning bomb attack.

After the horror at Bondi we saw that leadership on violence and racism is possible with political will.

The same urgency is needed on rising threats against First Peoples.

We know how this will play out. Policing isn’t neutral. First Peoples, Muslims, migrants and activists will be targeted first.

Protest isn't hate, and it isn’t a threat to democracy β€” it’s how democracy survives.

We need real action on racism in this country, but these laws are not it.
