Racist Pauline,
You must explain as to why One Nation is not transparent or democratic.
“We don’t cheat, we don’t lie, we are upfront with the people.” Pauline Hanson
When Pauline Hanson and her One Nation party stormed back into politics as a major force, it was done on the promise they would be nothing like the “mainstream” political parties they and their supporters loathe.
“We bring a fearlessness. We don’t care what people think… we just speak the facts.” One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts
But on Monday night Four Corners will reveal the brutal backroom politics ripping into Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party.
“If the public knew what went on in the Party I don’t think they’d have anything to do with One Nation.” Former Candidate
Reporter Caro Meldrum-Hanna investigates the party’s inner workings and explores how former supporters have been left disenchanted, asking for Pauline Hanson to “please explain”.
“A political party is supposed to be inclusive and the party at the moment is not any of those things.” Former Party Worker

Government to clarify rules on MP travel claims
Andrew TillettCanberra – Wednesday, January 11, 2017 12:50AM
Rules on what Federal politicians can and cannot claim in travel costs will be made more explicit in a bid to prevent a repeat of expenses scandals like that engulfing sidelined Health Minister Sussan Ley.
The Federal Government yesterday promised to overhaul pollies’ perks in the first half of this year, with one minister admitting action was needed to rebuild taxpayers’ trust that money was spent wisely.
However it is unlikely the changes will stop MPs watching prestigious sporting events such as the AFL grand final at taxpayers’ expense, where sponsors often invite them to attend in their official capacity.
Questions over MPs’ expenses are spreading to other frontbenchers, with Julie Bishop forced to defend claiming $2700 to attend the Portsea Polo in Victoria last January.
Her office told the ABC she attended the event in her official capacity as deputy Liberal leader and Foreign Minister.
And Cabinet ministers George Brandis, Mitch Fifield and Peter Dutton charged taxpayers almost $7000 to attend Malcolm Turnbull’s New Year’s Eve function at Kirribilli House in 2015.
They argued the harbourside soiree was an official function, even though 19 fellow frontbenchers did not claim expenses.
Questions over MPs’ expenses are spreading to other frontbenchers, with revelations Cabinet ministers George Brandis, Mitch Fifield and Peter Dutton charged taxpayers almost $7000 to attend Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s New Year’s Eve function at Kirribilli House in 2015.
They argued the Sydney harbourside soiree was an official function, even though 19 frontbench colleagues did not claim expenses.
Ms Ley’s woes continued with allegations she and her partner had been house hunting during a trip to the Gold Coast nine months before her now ill-fated May 2015 purchase of a $795,000 apartment that has led to be stood down and investigated by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet. She is not commenting on the latest claim.
An independent review of MPs’ entitlements was handed to the Government in March, with legislation now being drafted to consolidate myriad Acts and Remuneration Tribunal determinations outlining MPs’ pay and entitlements.
A key recommendation of the report, which was commissioned after the “choppergate” scandal involving former speaker Bronwyn Bishop, was that expenses could be claimed only when the dominant purpose was for a new definition of “parliamentary business”.
This definition would cover electorate duties; parliamentary duties, such as travelling for sittings or committee service; official duties such as attending functions, events and meetings when invited in their capacity as a MP or officeholder; and party political duties, such as attending conferences.
Attending political fundraisers or pursuing activities that provide a personal or commercial benefit would be specifically excluded from the definition of parliamentary business.
Acting Special Minister of State Kelly O’Dwyer said the Government accepted in principle all 36 recommendations of the review.
“A clear definition of what official business is, is obviously at the centre of the changes that need to be made and will be made by the Government in order to give the Australian people confidence that their hard-earned taxpayer dollars are respected and that they can have confidence … in the system,” she said.
Labor said it would work with the coalition on entitlements reformbut criticised the Government for taking too long to act.
Independent MP Andrew Wilkie said rorters should face charges.
“It is no secret in Canberra that some MPs will, from time to time, perhaps often, travel wherever they want in the country and they will dress it up as an official trip,” he said.
Independent Senator Nick Xenophon and the Greens will try to re-introduce l

Sussan Ley says she didn’t intend to buy luxury Gold Coast property on taxpayer-funded trip
AAP _- January 6, 2017 9:59am
LABOR is heaping pressure on federal Health Minister Sussan Ley to explain her purchase of a luxury beach unit during a taxpayer-funded trip to Queensland.
Minister Sussan Ley says she never intended to buy a Gold Coast unit when she set off for Queensland on a work trip with her husband in May 2015.
But the couple ended up doing a deal on a $795,000 unit, complete with views of Main Beach, in what her office suggested was a spur-of-the moment buy.
“The property purchase was not planned nor anticipated,” a spokeswoman for the minister said in a statement on Friday.
The spokeswoman said Ms Ley and her husband had gone to the Gold Coast to meet with health stakeholders after addressing a media conference at a Brisbane hospital earlier in the day.
There was nothing untoward about Ms Ley’s partner being with her on the trip under “under family travel arrangements”, she said.
“All travel undertaken was in accordance with the rules,” the minister’s spokeswoman said.
But Opposition health spokeswoman Catherine King says Ms Ley owes taxpayers a better explanation.
“Sussan Ley needs to front up today and explain to Australians how purchasing a luxury apartment is considered to be official business,” Ms King said in a statement.
“If she cannot do this, she has no choice but to resign, or Malcolm Turnbull must move her off his front bench.”
Ms Ley must reveal which stakeholders she met with on the Gold Coast, if a government car was used to facilitate the real estate deal, and how an opportunity to spontaneously buy property arose during a work trip, Ms King said.
Ms Ley’s office has said she went to Brisbane’s Wesley Hospital on Saturday, May 9, 2015 to announce new drugs being added to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
On the Gold Coast later that day, she held meetings with “local health stakeholders, those being patients about access to new medicines”, her office said.
The only republic Turnbull will give us is a banana one
Dear Prime Minister.
Why we need a plebiscite to choose a new President, we should just vote for one who is an independent minded person to represent our interest instead of the Constitution or the Queen.
We should just do it now rather wait until she dies.
Yours respectfully,
Eddie Hwang.

The only republic Turnbull will give us is a banana one
Andrew Bolt, Herald Sun – December 18, 2016 5:26am
How could Malcolm Turnbull think beating the republican drum yesterday when tomorrow could reveal not only a debt blowout but a cut in Australia’s credit rating that puts us even deeper in trouble?
Turnbull’s frolic yesterday
MALCOLM Turnbull has called for a new road map on an Australian Republic with a two-stage national vote that includes a plebiscite first to allow voters to choose whether or not the new President will be elected by a popular vote…
Describing the question as an issue of “national pride’’ he proposed the two-stage process to allow voters to determine the model before Australians voted on a Republic at a second national vote.
Turnbull’s problem tomorrow, as noted by Judith Sloan, is the release of the mid-year economic and fiscal outlook:
This year’s MYEFO is more interesting than most because the rating agencies clearly are breathing down Scott Morrison’s neck. There is a strong possibility the agencies — Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s are the important ones — will downgrade the federal government’s much-prized AAA rating…
By far the most important consideration for the agencies are the budget numbers…
While it remains the case that our government net debt as a percentage of gross domestic product is still low by international standards, the rate of deterioration has been rapid. In 2009-10, net debt as a percentage of GDP was 3.3 per cent. This year it is 18.9 per cent.
If our rating is downgraded and there is a lift in rates, total net interest payments would increase noticeably. Even at this stage, it is costing us close to $13 billion a year to service the net debt…
Recall that [the September growth] figures showed a decline of 0.5 per cent in GDP in the September quarter, with annual GDP growing by 1.8 per cent annually…
The key figures to watch [in the MYEFO] are the underlying cash balances over the forward estimates. In the May budget, this (financial) year’s budget deficit was expected to be $37bn, falling through the forward estimates period to land on a small deficit of $6bn in 2019-20. A return to surplus was predicted to occur in 2020-21.
In all likelihood, this year’s budget deficit will come in slightly lower than the estimate made nearly eight months ago. The surging price of iron ore and coal should be feeding into higher company tax receipts and this will have a short-run impact on the budget bottom line. Mind you, weaker company profits in other sectors and other sources of revenue will be offsetting this impact…
Looking beyond the immediate outlook, the figures on revenue appear particularly murky. The underlying budget assumption of 5 per cent annual growth in nominal GDP from 2017-18 still looks too optimistic. Note that on the latest national account figures, nominal GDP is growing at only 3 per cent a year.
An economically inclined reader, Gavin Stevens, has dug even further into the budget projections, revealing some Pollyanna figures when it comes to the anticipated revenues to be generated by individual tax measures. Take company tax. According to the budget, there will be a surge of company tax receipts in 2017-18 of 11.2 per cent, followed by 10.3 per cent the following year. Individual income tax receipts are expected to increase by between 6.4 per cent and 7.1 per cent a year between 2017-18 and 2019-20, which is hard to square with the present low rate of wages growth and the increasing incidence of underemployment in the labour market.
The point is that there is a high degree of optimism baked into the revenue figures in the budget and it is likely to be reasserted in MYEFO. If this optimism proves unfounded, the improvement in the bottom line that was an integral part of the May budget will not eventuate.

Dick Smith to help Hanson’s One Nation
AAP on December 6, 2016, 4:48 am
Millionaire Dick Smith is offering to help Pauline Hanson as she prepares One Nation for an electoral assault in Sydney.
Mr Smith, who set up his own company to produce Australian-made food products, will meet with Ms Hanson before Christmas, drawn to her immigration policies.
“I agree with her views on immigration numbers, that is about 70,000 a year, not 200,000. But I do not agree with her views on Muslim immigration,” he told News Corp Australia.
Mr Smith said he could see Ms Hanson gaining support across NSW, including in hard-core Liberal areas such as Sydney’s north shore.
“While I wouldn’t say I agreed with all of her policies, I am starting to see why she’s going to have incredible support and how completely disappointed people are with the two major parties,” he said.
But he ruled out financial support.
Meanwhile Ms Hanson confirmed One Nation would “definitely” be standing candidates in the next NSW and federal elections.
“I think there’s a move on across the country for One Nation,” she told News.
Senator Hanson said like many Australians, Dick Smith decided to listen to her ideas and look at her policies.
“It turns out we have a lot in common,” she tweeted.
Racist Violence
Dear Premier,
We wrote to you at the end of October and wonder if you or your government have done anything so far. If not, we presume you support the racist Pauline Hanson One Nation’s policies. We note racial tension has increased as four racist senators from One Nation have been elected into the Federal government and more will be elected next year in Qld and WA.
Who dares to send their children to NSW schools?
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours respectfully,

UPWA is the only political Party that calls a spade a spade.
In the afternoon of 29th October, the 17-year-old Eddy was having dinner at Westfield on Forest Road with his two friends. Later, two underage boys (one of them attending the same school as Eddy’s) suddenly shouted at Eddy and his friends using racial abusive words: F**king you Chinese chinky. Then they started beating Eddy and another adult man soon joined in the abuse. These three perpetrators not only beat Eddy into coma, they also threw him into a fountain nearby. As a result, Eddy is now suffered from multiple trauma and ear bleeding. However, according to Eddy’s classmates, the perpetrators got released after registered and offered verbal confession to the police. The incident caused a very bad influence. Many Chinese students in Australia expressed grave concern that they also have suffered such discrimination and bullying in school.
我们为悉尼Kogarah的中国留学生Eddy发起请愿，要求政府重视在澳留学生被霸凌的现象，敦促警方查实并依法惩处10月29日挑衅和殴打Eddy的3名施暴者。
10月29日下午，17岁的Eddy和两位朋友在好市围Forest路的Westfield外吃饭。两名未成年男生（其中一人与Eddy同校）突然对他们喊出“F**king you Chinese chinky”的种族辱骂性言语，并上前围殴Eddy，随后另有一名成年人男子参与施暴。他们3人不但将Eddy打至昏迷，还把他扔进喷泉里，造成受害者全身多处挫伤和耳出血。然而，据受害者同学透露，3名施暴者仅仅在警局录口供和登记，随后就被释放。这起事件造成了恶劣的影响，很多在澳留学生也表示，他们曾经在学校遭遇过歧视和霸凌。
Second, the petition
- We request the police to bring the justice on the perpetrators, especially the adult one.
- We request the underage perpetrators to make a public apology to the victim in school.
- We request the police to strengthen communication with the victim and the related community. Put forward practical solution and boost security in Hurstville.
- We request the school to seriously deal with the matter of bullying overseas students.
- We request the Australian government to attach more importance to the security of overseas students and put forward concrete and feasible measures.
所以，我们发起如下5点请愿：
- 要求警方严惩伤人者，特别是成年人；
- 要求涉案未成年人在校内公开道歉；
- 要求警方与受害者和社区对话，通畅沟通渠道，加大Hurstville地区的治安管制，提出切实的改善方案；
- 要求校方严肃处理校内针对留学生的同类霸凌事件；
- 要求澳洲各级政府重视留学生安全问题，并提出具体可行的措施。
我们呼吁华人朋友们为了社区的祥和，为了在澳华人和留学生的安全，投出你们宝贵的一票！

Solicitor-General Justin Gleeson flouts ‘radical’ directive from George Brandis14 Oct 2016, 6:17 p.m. – Tom McIlroy – SMH
The government’s top legal adviser says he will ignore a “radical” directive from Attorney-General George Brandis that prevents him giving advice directly to ministers and government departments, in the latest front in an escalating war between the country’s two most senior lawyers.
At a fiery Senate inquiry on Friday, Solicitor-General Justin Gleeson, SC, said a direction issued by Senator Brandis requiring ministers to obtain his written permission before seeking advice from Mr Gleeson was “unlawful”.
He said if the Governor-General or Prime Minister came to him directly for advice he would consider it his legal duty to make a “conscientious decision” to flout the direction and provide them with advice.
“It is a radical change,” Mr Gleeson said of the direction issued by Senator Brandis in May.
“Do I lie awake at night worrying about it? I have every night since 5 May, trying to determine how this could have come about and what is the correct way to try and respond to and remedy this situation.”
Legal experts have expressed concern the direction could see Mr Gleeson, who holds a statutory office and gives independent advice, “frozen out” from advising the government.
Mr Gleeson revealed on Friday that Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull had sought his advice in confidence in January “on a matter which I won’t mention”. Senator Brandis was not privy to the request.
He said that, “read literally”, the new direction would prevent him providing that advice “and yet I consider it’s my duty to do that under the Law Officers Act”.
The Senate’s legal and constitutional affairs references committee is examining allegations Senator Brandis misled Parliament by claiming Mr Gleeson was consulted about the legally-binding direction.
Appearing after Mr Gleeson, Senator Brandis said the direction was nothing more than “administrative housekeeping” and was consistent with the law and historical practice. He stood by “every word of every statement” he had made.
He said it was an “insult” to suggest, as former Commonwealth solicitor-general Gavan Griffith, QC, has claimed, that the direction was akin to keeping “a dog on a lead” because all barristers had an obligation to give frank and fearless advice.
He said the dispute with Mr Gleeson boiled down to a difference of opinion about the meaning of the word “consultation”. His understanding of the word was consistent with the Oxford English Dictionary definition but Mr Gleeson took a “narrower” view.
Senator Brandis conceded he did not raise the prospect of a binding legal direction with Mr Gleeson at a meeting on November 30 last year, saying he had not yet decided on that course of action.
However, he said his legal obligation to consult did not require it to be done “in some specific fashion” and there was consultation on the general “subject matter”.
Senator Brandis took aim at Mr Gleeson for having a conversation with shadow attorney-general Mark Dreyfus in June in which he denied he was consulted about the direction and said he did not agree with it.
He said Mr Gleeson “ought to have” told him about the conversation with one of the government’s “principal political enemies” during the election campaign and he was “shocked” he did not.
But Mr Gleeson said he considered it his duty to answer Mr Dreyfus’ questions and he was “also the shadow attorney-general, with responsibilities for these matters in the caretaker period”.
Mr Dreyfus said on Friday Senator Brandis had not put forward “the slightest justification” for the new direction.
“He was putting himself between the Governor-General and the Solicitor-General, he was putting himself between the Prime Minister and the Solicitor-General, he was putting himself between every secretary of a Commonwealth Department, every head of a Commonwealth agency,” he said.
Mr Dreyfus repeated his call for Senator Brandis to resign over the affair.

Protesters oppose former PM John Howard receiving honorary doctorateJACK HOUGHTON, The Daily Telegraph – September 30, 2016 3:01pm
JOHN Howard was labelled a “racist” by dozens of protesters outside the University of Sydney’s Great Hall today, as former prime minister John Howard addressed an audience after receiving an honorary doctorate.
Mr Howard was awarded the doctorate in recognition of the gun legislation he passed in the wake of the Port Arthur massacre.
However, about 50 protesters managed to delay the ceremony for 15 minutes while they accused Mr Howard of war crimes for his decision to follow the US into the Iraq war.
One man was even arrested for “breaching the peace” and taken to Newtown police station.
He was later released without charge.
Mr Howard graduated from the university in 1961 and has credited it with much of his success.
The 77-year-old ignored the protesters and spoke about the pressure of making the right decision in the moment.
“I often reflected upon the things that we got right, as well as acknowledging from time to time the things we hadn’t got right,” Mr Howard said.
“Being an intense Australian nationalist, I always thought the balance of the things we got right was quite decisive.”
Meanwhile, independent MP Andrew Wilkie criticised the University of Sydney, describing its decision to honour Mr Howard with the doctorate as “preposterous”.
“This is the man that took us to war on a lie, and helped create the current anarchy in the Middle East and the terrorist threat we all live with today,” Mr Wilkie said.
He said Mr Howard, along with his US and English counterparts George W. Bush and Tony Blair, had the “blood of countless people on their hands” and should go before an international court for war crimes.
More than 100 academics from the University of Sydney signed a petition opposing the honour to Mr Howard, Mr Wilkie said.
