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.

All kinds of things are said about me in the media and on the floor of Parliament, but if there’s one thing I’m well known for it’s that I speak my mind. No-one is ever in any doubt about what I’m thinking. When I see politicians deliberately insult and run down the country and people they are elected to represent and serve, I am going to call it out. The Australian Greens love running down this country and the people who built it. It’s in every speech, every press release, and every social media post they make. And for the most part, they just get away with it. They’re rarely held accountable for the toxic hatred they spew at the Australian people who pay them huge salaries to represent their interests in the seat of our democracy. The Greens are the worst kind of hypocrites, and this is on full display on the rare occasions their appalling anti-Australian conduct is called out. They immediately play the victim card – usually on race or gender, or both – and claim they’re the ones being unfairly attacked. In a nutshell, that’s all that really happened this week. After Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi called Queen Elizabeth II the head of a racist empire within only a few hours of her death, I told her to piss off back to Pakistan since she was so obviously unhappy with being in this particular part of that former ‘racist’ empire. I didn’t say she was inferior because she came from Pakistan, or attribute stereotypical traits to her based on her skin colour. Criticism is not racism, but that’s the card Faruqi played. The Greens threatened to censure me in Parliament, haul me before the Australian Human Rights Commission, and complained Parliament wasn’t a ‘safe and and respectful’ workplace. The Greens themselves don’t make Parliament a respectful workplace – quite the opposite, in fact. They have no respect for the institution of Parliament itself (they actually call it illegitimate), and the disgraceful behaviour of the entitled Lidia Thorpe is all anyone needs to know the Greens are anything but respectful. Their hypocrisy has been breathtaking. Ultimately, the Greens’ censure motion this week came to nothing. Their threats are as empty as their heads, and as meaningless as their hateful rhetoric. It would be laughable if their outrageous policies were not so dangerous and destructive to our way of life. In any case, their threats will not silence me. I will speak my mind. I will speak the truth. I have always fought for equality among Australians regardless of race or country of origin, which is something to which the Greens cannot ever lay claim. I will always speak on behalf of the Australian people the Greens so obviously loathe and despise. I will always express my pride and love for this country and its accomplishments. I’m very grateful for the many thousands of Australians who have supported me in this. We’re all sick and tired of privileged and entitled Greens running us down as racist occupiers of our own home and destroyers of our own planet. I will never stop calling them out, and if they can’t handle it, my offer to take them to the airport is still there.

Australians have been left confused about the scope of the proposed Federal anti-corruption body with Labor constantly shifting the goalposts. One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson said she was also seeking clarification about the proposed body’s scope to investigate matters retrospectively. “Labor now wants this proposed body to be able to hold public hearings in ‘exceptional circumstances and where it is in the public interest to do so’, but we need some stricter definitions of these terms – this body must not be used for partisan political witch-hunts,” Senator Hanson said. “Labor has also shifted from the proposed body being able to investigate allegations of ‘serious and systemic’ corruption to ‘serious or systemic’ corruption. This has the potential to significantly expand the proposed body’s scope, and these terms also need stricter definition. “One Nation also questions the government about what will be investigated retrospectively, and has a few suggestions: former Senator Sam Dastyari’s links with Chinese donors; the Coalition’s Community Sports Infrastructure Program; legal support provided to former speaker Peter Slipper by the Gillard government; and payments by the government-owned Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) to Al Jazeera for secret footage of the meeting between One Nation officials and the National Rifle Association in the United States. “The matter which is most frequently raised with my office is the politicians and judges linked to the so-called Bill Heffernan files – this should be a priority too. “It will be very interesting to see what past wrongs Labor expects will be investigated, but if this body is to be effective in investigating and preventing corruption it must be strictly apolitical and not subject to the partisan whims of Labor.”
