โ€œYou can silence 50 scholars with one fact but cannot silence one idiot with 50 factsโ€. Give up on this white-supremacist, illiterate, hateful cohort of scum. They literally donโ€™t care for anyone who is not of their myopic tribe. (Hanson: Ronald McDonald on bad acid.)

Carbon offsets = grifters' paradise.
Australia Institute research shows the Safeguard Mechanism has failed to deliver promised reductions in gross emissions. Its biggest failure is its overwhelming reliance on carbon offsets, which have enabled fossil fuel producers to INCREASE their actual pollution. #auspol

I bet they don't have enough nurses either... Thanks National, ACT & NZ First for destroying our public health system. Maybe we should open EDs in your precious private hospitals and make them earn their money? Oh no, there might be bottomfeeders.. Can't have that.. ๐Ÿ™„ #nzpol

Iโ€™m enjoying One Nation's innovative approach to vetting where the media does it afterwards for free.

Arrested in a London loo. Cash for comment .The Cronulla riots. Libel actions. Alan Jones โ€“ a little like Donald Trump โ€“ seems impervious to scandal

The revolving door means former ministers and senior public servants can take insider knowledge from Parliament and use it for commercial advantage. It casts a pall over the integrity of decision-making when access and influence can trump evidence and transparency. My Clean Up Politics act would stop the revolving door by preventing ministers and senior staff from becoming lobbyists for up to three years after leaving Parliament.

Exactly like the LNP, Labor is joined at the hip to the fossil fuel industry.
