For too long conservative Australian values have been undermined by woke, lefty-Liberals and if Scott Morrison will not stand up to them then I am happy to do his job for him and send them packing.

I will always tell you where I stand and speak the truth without fear or favour.

I will fight for what I believe in and I’m prepared to answer the tough questions that come my way.

This is why I am targeting the woke Liberals in five of the 151 lower house seats.

I know the Nationals and their supporters will not be happy about the Liberals’ lurch to the left on these issues either, which is why I’m prepared to work with them in all their seats to offset the possible loss of Coalition seats held by left-leaning Liberals.

One Nation is not here to prop up the major parties. One Nation is here to represent the people of Australia, to stand up for true Aussie values, and to do what is right.

Deaths in January were a shocking 2,965 (22%) above the baseline for Australia.

This increase has coincided with a large increase in COVID-19 infections which are blamed as the cause. But if we dig down a bit on that claim, it does not stack up.

ABS figures show that only 442 COVID deaths were recorded in January. What is the explanation for the remaining 2,443 deaths above baseline?

Prime Minister Morrison must explain the difference.

I spent yesterday travelling through the Hunter region of NSW with Dale McNamara for Hunter - Pauline Hanson's One Nation.

We met with coal mine workers, and dairy farmers and then spent the evening speaking with locals at the pub discussing policies and their hopes and concerns about the future.

Over the last 6 years in the Senate I’ve been passionate about supporting Australia’s mining and farming sectors because, as the Hunter proves, these industries are the lifeblood of so many rural and regional communities.

I am worried that the net-zero climate path the Liberal and Labor parties are forcing this nation down, driven by their pandering to the inner cities and green votes, will have a devastating effect on both mining and farming jobs.

If these Liberal and Labor net-zero targets are allowed to continue then, as always, it is rural and regional communities that will suffer.

One Nation strongly opposes this net-zero climate cut madness.

Instead, we are committed to supporting rural and regional jobs and communities because when these communities thrive, Australia thrives.

MEDIA RELEASE

One Nation preferences will target left-leaning Liberals in some key seats in a bid to protect Australian values and ensure strong conservative representation in the new Parliament.

One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson said her plan to target Bass in Tasmania, held by left-leaning Liberal Bridget Archer, had been her first shot across the bow.

“The Liberals need a wake-up call and I’m more than happy to provide it,” Senator Hanson said. “They are no longer the conservative party Australians knew. We need to clean out a small number of left-leaning Liberals who masquerade as conservatives. Instead of talking to me about preferences, the media should be asking Scott Morrison why he is prepared to hand Jacqui Lambie the balance of power, someone who hates the Liberals and votes consistently against them.”

Senator Hanson said that in addition to Bass, One Nation would also target Tim Wilson in Goldstein, Trent Zimmerman in North Sydney, Helen Haines in Indi, and James Stevens in Sturt.

“Scott Morrison has surrendered independent Australian climate policy to these left-leaning Liberals, who are obviously in the wrong party,” she said. “He needs to be reminded that conservative Australians feel betrayed by his lurch to the left with net-zero emissions by 2050, and the left-leaning Liberals who pushed him there need to be removed.”

Senator Hanson said One Nation would work with the Nationals in some seats to negate the loss of seats held by left-leaning Liberals.

“I think we are all in broad agreement that a Labor-Green government would be a disaster for Australia,” she said. “Unfortunately, left-leaning Liberals aren’t giving conservative Australian voters much reason to hope their party will act differently to Labor on issues such as immigration, the housing crisis, religious freedom, critical race theory, gender reassignment, trans women competing in women’s sports and climate change.

“The Nationals and their supporters won’t be happy about the Liberals’ lurch to the left on these issues either, which is why I’m prepared to work with them in some seats to offset the loss of Coalition seats held by left-leaning Liberals. Conservative voters who support Australian values will not be silenced and must have representatives who will stand with them on these issues.”

Remember when you go to vote, you control your preferences, not the political parties.

How to vote cards are only recommendations and you can ignore them and put your numbers in whatever order you like.

Every election, Labor will claim One Nation is preferencing Coalition and the Coalition will claim One Nation is preferencing Labor. Don’t fall for the scare tactics, remember that you own your preferences.

The world is staring at a giant pile of government debt worth $226 trillion.

It represents the biggest surge in borrowings since World War II.

Japan's situation is particularly alarming. It has borrowed more than $9 trillion, around 230 percent of its GDP.

For two years, poor countries worldwide have been encouraged to take on record amounts of debt, which is now throwing many into default.

With debt interest payments becoming more expensive, the World Bank and IMF say more than a dozen or so countries will go into default over the next 12 months.

Officials in countries like Sri Lanka now face a stark choice — feed their hungry people or default on their debts.

The real sleeping giant in all this is China. China’s debt is 290 percent of its GDP according to the Bank of International Settlements. That’s higher than any other major economy in the world, including the US.

China’s debt-to-GDP ratio is growing at a rate of 11 percent per year — which means its debt is outpacing its GDP growth.

China’s state-owned banks, meanwhile, are sitting on mountains of bad debts and non-performing loans.

Bad loans alone hit $581 billion in 2021. And that is just what’s visible.

Not included are $990.22 billion in non-performing loans carried by banks as "special mention loans", which are in danger of default.

Over 70 percent of these non-performing loans have been bundled up and resold to investors at inflated prices.

More murky debt can be found in China’s shadow banking sector where $13 trillion of lending is done through non-traditional financial institutions.

Then there is China’s local government debt which official figures put at $3.97 trillion, but which Goldman Sachs says could be as high as $8.2 trillion, nearly half China’s GDP.

The list of Chinese property developers defaulting is now snowballing. The sector has serious liquidity problems and $117 billion worth of debt maturing this year.

Banks won’t lend to them, new projects have ground to a halt and unfinished infrastructure projects are being demolished.

Global pension funds and institutional investors who have invested $2.1 trillion in Chinese companies are all at risk.

Anyone who likes a good horror story should read AFR’s article on "Why your super is making the long march to China"!

If China’s economy collapses, it will wipe Australia out, along with many of its people’s super nest eggs.

And yet, hardly anyone is talking about this.

Financial 'experts' instead say that 'debt' is a good thing and Australia needs more of it!

Seriously in any normal, functioning meritocracy, these people would all be pushing trolleys at Coles, not steering our economy.

The fact they are should keep every Australian up at night.

It does me.

As the cost of living pinches Australian households, the Morrison-Joyce government favours foolish net-zero targets, rather than investing in a new power station for Australia’s energy affordability and security.

Shine Energy’s coal-fired Collinsville power station in North Queensland is a community-led project dedicated to providing affordable energy using Australia’s clean coal reserves and can be a vital part of Australia’s national energy and industry security.

The Queensland Government’s recent purchase of two existing pastoral leases north of Weipa, amounting to nearly 325,932 hectares of agricultural land, has led to calls for the buying program in Cape York to "stop".

Many graziers say they are becoming fearful for the future of the cattle industry up North, as more and more large pastoral properties are being bought up by the Government.

Since 2007, the Queensland Government has bought more than a dozen pastoral properties in Cape York, including Kalinga, Crosbie, Strathmay, Killarney, Dixie, and Wulpan Stations.

Bertiehaugh Station was bought by the Federal Government and renamed the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve.

All these stations have been permanently removed from Australia’s agricultural lands network and converted into national parks or wildlife reserves.

Now Bramwell and Richardson Stations have joined the list – the northern-most cattle enterprise in Queensland.

The buy-ups are impacting neighbouring stations and communities, as more money is ripped from town economies, along with countless jobs.

Many are suspicious that the government may be buying up land to gain carbon credits. Bramwell Station, for example, came with a "carbon farming deal" in place.

Grazier Emma Jackson, who runs nearby Wolverton Station in Cape York, said the sale of Bramwell Station was very troubling.

"If the cattle stations continue to close down in Cape York, it will be … another nail in the coffin for the grazing industry," she told the Brisbane Times recently.

"The state government might buy the land, but they don't invest money into it. It's not feasible or possible for them to manage it”.

"When you're producing on the land, you know where every weed is, you do your fire management, you make a dollar and it goes straight back into the land".

She further explained, "There's this perception that when you're working the land in cattle or horticulture, you're not working with the land, that you're not doing the right thing and that's simply not correct."

Local graziers and communities are not being consulted or given a say over the government 'buy-ups'.

Questions around the vital issue of our 'food security' or the impact on Queensland’s agricultural sector overall continue to go unanswered. Bear in mind that this is productive farmland we are talking about – land that food producers could make good use of.

Land that is now lost to Queensland agriculture forever.
