Any move to further lower qualification standards for overseas doctors to practice in Australia would be playing Russian roulette with Australian lives. One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson said NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard’s reckless call to fast-track overseas doctors risked lowering the medical standards they needed to meet to practice in Australia.

Economist John Adams has released a report questioning the way in which the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has used their powers to investigate and prosecute ‘white collar’ crime. Five years ago 2% of suspected offences reported to ASIC were investigated. In 2020 this is down to just 0.7% Only 1 in 50 of these investigations result in a prosecution. Ninety-one percent of reports by corporate whistleblowers resulted in no action being taken. Senator Roberts said: “The effectiveness of Australian Securities and Investments Commission has already been questioned following the failure to prevent the Sterling First managed investment fund scandal in Western Australia.” “ASIC provided incorrect guidance on the security of Sterling First to potential investors. Many investors lost their life savings as a result.” “I note Liberal Senator Bragg and Labor Senator Pratt have both confirmed the need for an inquiry into the performance of ASIC.” “I join in calling for an inquiry and look forward to a start date before the end of the year.”

The World Economic Forum has described One Nation as Xenophobic, Racist and Extremist on it's "Strategic Intelligence" hub, a member only service. The Strategic Intelligence hub aims to provide talking points to some of the world's most elite corporate and government officers. One of the WEF's Strategic Intelligence partners is the Center for China and Globalisation. One Nation's policies do not contain one reference to skin colour. Our goal has always been the equal treatment of all based on content of character, not differential treatment on skin colour as Albanese's Voice to Parliament would do. As for extreme, our policies are simply conservative, all of which were accepted in the mainstream media only ten years ago before politicians accelerated their sellout of our country. International, globalist, unelected organisations that seek to control our country from the top down must be rejected. This false labelling of One Nation must be called out for what it is, foreign interference in our democracy.

Australians should be able to keep physical evidence of their property deeds as the theft of personal customer information at Optus further demonstrates the vulnerability of electronic records to hacking. One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson said property was the biggest investment most Australians ever made and called for deeds to be issued to owners on paper so they can be kept safe. “Cyber-attacks are becoming more frequent and more brazen,” Senator Hanson said. “Whether it’s activist and terrorist ‘hackers’ or the cyber-warfare being waged by China’s communist regime, the security of our personal records and details are under constant threat. “Governments and businesses are being forced to invest more and more money into cyber-security and for individual Australians, hardly a week goes by when we don’t have to upgrade the security of our smartphones and computers. “Few Australians these days have physical evidence of the deeds to their property. They’re kept in electronic form at title offices, which in some cases have been sold or leased to private operators. What’s preventing some hacker from removing or changing these records? “Deeds on paper really mean something. They’re physical evidence of the sacrifices you’ve made, and the economic security and family stability that home ownership represents. It’s tangible evidence of something you’ve worked hard to earn and be proud of. “While title offices are the responsibility of states and territories, carriage services and their security are a Federal matter. It’s time for the Australian government to work with the states and territories and introduce practical measures which improve the security of our records. Physical property deeds kept safely at home cannot be hacked.”

The Greens’ terrible economic illiteracy was skewered this week after their call for a national freeze on rents. It sounds like a great idea on the surface. There is no more pressing problem in Australia than our rental crisis. Every day it seems there’s a media story about an Australian family facing homelessness. However like all ideas from the Greens, a national rent freeze will only make this crisis worse. Seventy percent of Australian landlords own only a single investment property. Most of them have worked hard and sacrificed much to invest in a rental property to supplement their income into retirement. While Labor and the Greens view them as greedy property tycoons, they are anything but. Rents are certainly going up, but then so are the costs on landlords like insurance, council rates and state government taxes. Property investors are also facing increasing costly regulation that effectively takes away their rights. The Palazsczuk government is even taxing Queensland investors on the value of property they might own in other states. This is driving people out of the market. There are many other ways to invest their money, for example entering the lucrative short-term holiday accommodation market. This means there are even less homes available for rent. Our rental crisis is primarily one of very short supply. Australia has the lowest proportion of dwellings per population in the developed world, because for at least a decade home construction has not kept pace with population growth. Demand is only going to intensify as the Albanese government floods Australia with more than 200,000 new immigrants every year. Increasing the supply of rental accommodation needs to be the priority, and one surefire way to do this is to ban foreign ownership of all residential property in Australia while putting in place policy settings which encourage, rather than discourage, property investment by Australian families. Agencies and vendors should be required to sight evidence of Australian citizenship or permanent residency for a sale to go ahead. Lowering immigration to more sustainable levels would also help reduce demand. Councils need to get their act together too, releasing land more quickly and reducing red and green tape. And we need to have a hard look at state and territory government fees and charges, particularly stamp duty. When the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was introduced, we were told the revenue would replace what the states and territories derived from such charges. That didn’t happen, and today those fees and charges can make up to 40% of the total costs of purchasing a property. As always, fixing our various crises – the rising cost of living, housing, health, energy, workers and skills – can be achieved by putting Australia and Australians first.
