We don't need to post everything debating what this woman claims or does

There are so many politicians worth listening to, who are actually worth attention

Agreed. All of a sudden this dickwit is popping up all over. Stop giving her airspace. The very same thing happened with that Orange blob of shite in America and look what happened there. Brush this piece of crap under the carpet and ignore the smell.

Yep. She's doing what Trump does. Flood the zone.

It means we can't hear from the other parties because she's taking up space. And it makes it seem like despite her lack of real policies, that she actually has some too

Lets not discuss her like she has has any merit whatsoever, ok? Don't fucking legitimise her bullshit. She's a stupid little attention seeker with outdated extremist views taking reactionary shits on everything and literally gobbling billionaire boots.

Discussing her as a power gives her power. Remember how she ended up in the wilderness last time? We pointed and laughed at her stupidity. And it's frankly still more attention than she deserves

extremist views are not outdated, they are raising in popularity these days. Not surprising that politicians are attracted to it as fly to a shit.

Wtf is this headline. The reality is not more complex, she is just wrong. Just say she is wrong and a liar.

The part of Aus I’m from celebrates their Cornish heritage with a festival every couple of years. Will that be banned since it’s “not Australian culture”? Of course not, because Cornish people are white.

Pauline Hanson as a figure for "thought leadership"?

Really? The Battlers Battler who talked more about the poor business people who struggle to sack workers and have to find the money for pay rises! (Sounds like Gina Mineheart)

ON, all about BIG business but ALWAYS say "small business"!

If you can't spot this basic misdirection you should not be voting!

Uh, we have to vote. It's one of the best things about our democracy - it's moderately representative.
