Across rural New South Wales, pubs and clubs aren’t just places to grab a meal or catch up with friends—they are major employers and community hubs. These venues keep local economies moving by providing work for bar staff, wait staff, kitchen teams, cleaners, maintenance workers, and countless others. When policies threaten these businesses, it’s not just the venues that suffer; it’s rural jobs and community stability.

What’s frustrating is that NSW Labor seems more focused on targeting pubs and clubs than helping families deal with soaring living costs. Instead of addressing electricity bills, grocery prices, rents, and fuel costs—issues that are genuinely hurting households—Labor is preoccupied with how venues operate and how community grants are funded.

And here’s the part that is often forgotten: the grants program supported by poker machine revenue has delivered enormous benefits to local communities. Sporting clubs, local events, charity initiatives, infrastructure upgrades, and essential community services have been funded through these programs for years. These aren’t abstract ideals—they’re real, tangible improvements that regional towns rely on.

If the government redirects its energy toward micromanaging pubs and clubs, the fallout will be felt hardest in rural communities where these venues serve as economic and social lifelines.

NSW Labor should be prioritising the real challenges facing the state—reducing the cost of living and easing pressure on families and businesses—instead of undermining the very venues that support local jobs and fund vital community grants.

Pauline Hanson has delivered another strong live interview on Sky News’ The Kenny Report, doubling down on her long-standing warnings about out-of-control immigration, weak leadership, and the growing surge in support for One Nation across Australia.

Hanson blasted both Labor and the Liberals for failing to control migration levels that are pushing Australia’s housing, roads, hospitals, and schools to breaking point. She told Chris Kenny that the major parties have become completely out of touch with everyday Australians, who are now voicing overwhelming frustration at the impacts of mass migration.

She pointed out that between 2022 and 2023, Australia brought in 740,000 migrants, yet only 1,800 worked in construction despite a national housing shortage and rising rents. Hanson said the system is “flooding the country” with the wrong skill mix, and politicians refusing to address the issue are ignoring over 70% of Australians who believe immigration is far too high.

Hanson also hit back at claims from Liberal Senator Andrew Bragg supporting high migration levels. She said Bragg “should be in Labor or the Greens,” accusing him of abandoning grassroots Australians and failing to recognise the real-world pressures ordinary families are facing.

The interview also highlighted One Nation’s soaring poll numbers, now sitting at 18% nationally, with explosive growth among Gen-X males, many of whom are struggling with mortgages, rising costs, or family law issues. Hanson said these voters are turning to One Nation because the party actually listens and fights for them.

Pauline Hanson’s message is clear:
Australia cannot handle mass migration.
The major parties won’t fix it.
And more Australians are putting their trust in One Nation to do what’s right for the country.

One thing you can always count on from Pauline Hanson is honesty. She says what she thinks, she means what she says, and you never have to second-guess where she stands. So when she joked that she doesn’t want to move to Victoria, many people nodded along—not just as a punchline, but as a sentiment that reflects how a lot of Australians feel.

Written by: Senator Sean Bell

Labors rushed changes to the Environment Protection Reform Bill 2025, supported by the Greens, should have Australians deeply concerned. Labor rammed this package of bills through the Senate with no debate, resulting in the worst abuse of process we have witnessed in recent times.

More than 1500 pages of bureaucracy, these bills will not protect the environment. They will hand enormous power to Canberra, fast-track renewables, and open the door to a “pay-to-destroy” system where our environment is effectively for sale.

More Power for the Minister

This bill rewrites the EPBC Act and gives the Minister sweeping authority to make and change National Environmental Standards. This allows the government to ram through approvals, override state processes, and pick winners, mainly large renewable projects.

New Agencies, Less Accountability

Labor is creating a new National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA) costing $121 million, run by a CEO appointed by the Governor-General and almost impossible to remove. Australians can vote out a government, but not this unelected environmental boss.

A second body, Environment Information Australia, will cost another $51.5 million and control environmental data without Ministerial oversight. It will also impose civil penalties for disclosing information the bureaucracy wants kept quiet.

Development Zones & Offsets-for-Sale

The bills allow the creation of “development zones”, areas labelled as having “lower environmental values.” Projects in these zones can skip full assessments and public consultation. Remnant native vegetation isn’t protected and can be bulldozed as long as developers pay into a new Restoration Contributions Account. This is environmental protection in name only.

New Charges & Taxes

Four more bills introduce restoration charges, exemption charges, excise and customs charges. These create a system where developers can pay compensation to bypass environmental rules, especially for renewables.

Fast-Tracking Renewables, Banning Nuclear

While renewables get special treatment and fast-tracking, the bills ban all nuclear energy facilities, shutting down any chance of a reliable zero-emissions alternative.

We Reject this Bill

This package centralises power, weakens real protections, and threatens farmland, wildlife, and communities. One Nation rejects this Bill.

Senator Pauline Hanson spoke at a major march in Victoria, saying thousands of Australians turned out because they feel unheard, worried, and frustrated about the direction of the country. She said people are not being listened to by state and federal governments, especially in Victoria—now dealing with a housing crisis, rising crime, and collapsing services.

Hanson rejected suggestions that simply relocating migrants to regional areas is a solution, arguing that rural communities don’t have the doctors, hospitals, schools, or infrastructure to cope. She warned that Australia is facing unsustainable mass migration driven by government mismanagement, not by what the country can realistically support.

Addressing critics who label these concerns “racist,” Hanson said people have every right to speak up about cost-of-living pressures, crime, farming challenges, and the failures of Victoria’s government. She added that name-calling is used to avoid engaging in real debate.

Senator Pauline Hanson also defended her past burqa protest in Parliament, saying it highlighted the refusal to even allow a debate on banning the burqa despite national security and women’s rights concerns. She criticised politicians for being “too scared to offend” while ordinary Australians pay the price.

Despite intense pressure, Hanson said she will continue fighting in Victoria, offering voters an alternative at the next election and promising to push for policies that restore accountability, rebuild services, and give Australians their voice back.

NOTE: Recently, Queensland Coalition (LNP) Senator Matt Canavan penned an opinion piece in News Limited papers in which he sledged Senator Pauline Hanson. After this post below was published, Matt put on quite the show of rage. Let's be clear. One Nation will defend ourselves when attacked, we don't apologise for that, and we’ll keep asking others on our side of politics to focus on Labor's poor record rather than obsessing over how many MPs or party branch members choose to join One Nation.

Senator Hanson’s response is as follows:

Hypocrisy used to be seen as a bad thing, especially in politics.

Senator Pauline Hanson is calling for an end to the growing division she believes is tearing at Australia’s social fabric. Speaking from the heart, she reminded the country that regardless of background, culture, or how long someone has lived here, “we are all Australians together.”

Sen. Hanson said she welcomes those who come to Australia seeking a better life for their families—people who work hard, contribute, and share in the nation’s values. What concerns her, she says, is the increasing division being fuelled across the country, particularly in her home state.

“It breaks my heart to see the division that is happening,” she said. “Australians deserve unity, respect, and a future where we stand side by side.”

Senator Pauline Hanson's message is simple: Australia is stronger when its people pull together, not apart.

One Nation’s Lee Hanson has spoken out powerfully on 2SM Sydney, defending Pauline Hanson’s decision to wear the burqa in Parliament and exposing a shocking new scandal involving asbestos inside Chinese-made wind turbines in Tasmania.

Lee revealed she had a feeling Pauline was planning something big that morning and she was right. Pauline attempted to move a private member’s bill to ban the burqa and all full-face coverings, arguing it is vital for national security and women’s rights. When Labor, Liberal and the Greens refused to even debate it, Pauline made a bold point: if Parliament won’t discuss banning the burqa, why do they ban it being worn inside the Senate?

Listeners called in overwhelmingly agreeing, describing the burqa as oppressive, antisocial, and demeaning to women  and praising Pauline for forcing the conversation the major parties refuse to have.

But the interview turned even more alarming when Lee exposed a major scandal unfolding in Tasmania. Wind turbines at the Castle Hill Wind Factory were found to contain asbestos, despite the deadly material being banned in Australia since 2003.

Wind turbines manufactured by a Chinese company with over 600 similar turbines across Australia  may now pose a serious health risk. Workers have already been blocked from accessing sites, and asbestos removal crews have been called in.

Lee blasted Net Zero and the renewable rollout as a reckless, rushed disaster, destroying pristine Tasmanian countryside, killing wildlife, and now threatening workers’ safety.

One Nation’s message is clear: Pauline Hanson and her team are the only ones willing to expose hypocrisy, stand up for women, and protect Australians from dangerous, poorly regulated renewable projects.

From the team behind the Please Explain cartoon series comes something bigger, cheekier, and guaranteed to ruffle the right feathers. A Super Progressive Movie has landed with a trailer so bold that Canberra’s gatekeepers scrambled to shut it down. The bureaucrats even booted it from Parliament House at the last minute. Apparently it might “offend a person.” Heaven forbid.
