Where's the death data for Aged Care Vaccinations? I would have thought COVID data on deaths in Aged Care would be on hand for the Government, especially at Senate Estimates. Instead they've taken the questions on notice. I was also shocked to find that there had been no improvement in breaches of the Aged Care Quality Standards.

The Queensland government reversed course yesterday, lifting mandates on most venues, despite last week labelling anyone who questioned them as an anti-vaxxer. The corporate media have, of course, gone nuts, burying their lead with alarmist headlines on skyrocketing case numbers, deaths and new variants. Ho hum. Some things never change. What no media outlet will say, however, is that this unexpected ‘change of heart’ was almost certainly sparked by last week’s protests against the Bill extending emergency powers/measures for another six months.

From April 14th vaccine mandates are partially eased for many Queenslanders. I and the One Nation team are proud of the work we have done but we haven't done it alone. I'd like to thank the more than 200,000 Aussies who signed the One Nation petition against vaccine mandates and the more than 40,000 Aussies who have signed the One Nation petition calling for an investigation into this pandemic. It is through continued pressure, both in parliament and in our communities that we have been able to begin the process of restoring our freedoms and removing these draconian mandates. Thank you for your help and support. If we keep fighting this together I am confident we will win!

Once upon a time, most Australians would have agreed that freedom as a value was something to be treasured above all else, even safety. Sadly, decades of government propaganda on the need to subordinate freedom to safety, has left its mark on the national psyche. Anyone who values freedom or wishes to live freely is increasingly being marginalised and spoken of as a ‘risk’ or ‘danger’ to others. It is a dangerous way of thinking, and the corrosive effects it has had on people’s minds is especially evident amongst those under 40. In the past, the first question people asked when a new law was proposed, was ‘does it infringe on my freedom?' Today, the only question anyone asks is, ‘Will it make us Safer?’

For years I have warned that Australia has not been doing enough to prepare against the threat of China. Yet my warnings were ignored, opportunities were missed, and as a result years of proper defence and preparation have been wasted. I worry that instead of focusing all its efforts on how best to defend our nation, politicians have pushed our military towards virtue signalling and unnecessary pandering.

This limited edition gin is produced by a Sunshine Coast distiller and I've produced just 5000 bottles to mark the 2022 Federal Election. You can pre-order your bottles online and we'll start distributing next Monday. Let's raise a glass to democracy and the great Aussie spirit that will always defend it.

Important data from NSW Budget Estimates: In desperation to fill the NSW teacher shortage (they created) the NSW Department of Education has shortlisted 139 overseas and interstate teachers, of whom over 50% come from just 2 countries: Fiji (44) and Zimbabwe (28). From interstate: only 13.

Remember this? Albo says that solar panels can charge your electric car at night. "The future... is solar panels on your roof charging your [electric] vehicle for free overnight."

I called in some help from Australian television and radio icon John Burgess and teamed him up with the Please Explain crew in an effort to answer every question you might have about how voting works in Australia. Your vote is your voice and I want to make sure it is heard. Feel free to show this helpful guide to anyone you know who has questions about voting and let's make sure this election everyone's vote is counted and correct.

Yesterday, the Liberal/Nationals and Labor voted to take away the ability of minor parties and crossbench Senators to deliver a budget reply on the floor of parliament. Thankfully I still have the ability to speak with you directly through social media and I refuse to let the Liberals or Labor silence my alternate vision for this nation. This is the budget reply they didn't want you to see because they are terrified that One Nation's vision will expose them for what they are. They are short-sighted, desperate, and with nothing real to offer. Thank you for taking the time to listen and I hope that you will consider supporting One Nation at the next federal election.
