Australian news and politics.

How? I posted a quote without comment.

But while we are here, can you give me the name of another Aussie politician thats being flown around in a private jet to parties and luxury destinations by a billionaire? Doesnt have to be one who claims to be for the little guy or aussie battler or whose policies and public comments magically align....

Was just a joke about all of them tbh... Ones that do it with taxpayers money are personally worse, but they're just as bad as each other. When it comes from donations, it's just making our political system as bad as in the US with lobbying

While they are generally all bad, I do agree, but maybe a few, (very very few) seem decent and honest

If she wants to be influenced by a billionaire and pretend to be for the battlers, yet only have policies to benefit her billionaire mate - so be it, But she needs to own it

What is it about declaring donations from her multibillionaire friends that Hanson finds so difficult? There needs to be consequences for her continually being late on these things, it makes a mockery of Australian democracy.

It slipped her mind she was treated to the RIviera and high fashion parties. I always forget when a billionaire does that for me.

Ah actually she looks to have declared the gifts within the 35 day window. At least she complied with the rules this time and we're left to judge her on the substance of her behaviour.
