Odd indeed. I checked Andrew Constance's many utterances in NSW Hansard about Israel - there are far too many to list here, but he's on parliamentary record as being a huge fan of Israel.
I could find nothing in Hansard about him speaking of the rights and displacement of the Palestinian people, even though he'd been all the way to Jerusalem and back.

This is the housing price correction Australia has to have after two decades of property market distortion via neg gearing/CGT tax slush. The egalitarian Australia Bob Menzies built after WWII was based on wage earners being able to afford their own homes. Now .. letās get inflation and interest rates down so more young families can call āhomeā. š
š Interest rate hikes, falling house prices and major changes to property tax rules have led to a 15% drop in new home lending in the September quarter. š Thatās the biggest drop since the ABS started keeping such records in 2002. My latest reportš youtu.be/if53fu9ShtY?si=ajnyā¦

Dear people of Victoria. Please do not vote for Pauline Hansonās One Nation candidates. Her political base comprises white supremacists, neo-Nazis, antisemites, racist dog whistlers, Islamophobes. She is now trying to be all things to all people. In power she will broker uncontrolling guns, work choices2.0, horror cuts to services. abc.net.au/news/2026-11-10/vā¦

Pauline Hanson is all over TikTok/social media with paid/boosted content claiming to be a warrior for struggling Australians. This is a lie. She is a stalking horse for uncontrolled guns, horror cuts to services, work choices 2.0, let er rip coal/gas low taxed exports, dogwhistle immigrationā¦.

Dear Treasurer @JEChalmers and Finance Minister @SenKatyG, while you search for savings to appease the inflation monster, please get serious about revenues: e.g. a fairer tax on publicly owned natural resources e.g. gas exports. This would be overwhelmingly supported by the Australian people.

If Pauline Hanson and her Trumpist, Faragist F#*K YOU grievance party get anywhere near the levers of legislative power in Victoria, NSW or federally they will undermine Australiaās democracy, as only vested interest authoritarians can. Electors shouldnāt touch them with a barge pole.

One year ago today, Victoria made history by enshrining Australia's first Treaty into law - a historic step towards truth, justice and First Nations led self-determination.
It's time for the rest of Australia to catch up.

Victorian Indigenous leaders accuse liberal leader Jess Wilson of using Treaty as a 'political football' & warn decades of progress lost if the historic agreement is scrapped. Victoria's landmark Treaty is a national first & Libs want to rip it up #auspol abc.net.au/news/2026-10-31/tā¦

News24ās @aclennell is a fearless journalist who has now gone public over what heās indicated was an attempt at intimidation by Pauline for PMās director James Ashby. Hereās hoping his bosses Boris and Lachlan will back him up. Have a look at Clennellās exchange with Peta Credlin.šWe need all Oz media to stand together re censorious non-access and any Trumpist bully tactics.

Join the call for Australiaās media companies to stand together by refusing to cover One Nation events until the access issue is resolved. Media companies should be insisting that One Nation accepts the attendance of ALL accredited journalists, not just the ones it perceives as unquestioning or supportive. We need a robust liberal democracy ... not a Trumpian perversion.

One of the most emotionally charged moments of the 2026 election unfolded in Cleveland as thousands gathered to support Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton, just days after a controversial Republican campaign advertisement turned her traumatic childhood into a political battleground.
