By destroying the Liberals, the Nats become a party of protest

Sussan Ley is at risk of joining Alexander Downer and Brendan Nelson as one of the Liberal Party’s short-lived leaders. She’s tough, but it’s hard to fight numbers.

Concerns from conservative Coalition MPs including Andrew Hastie and Barnaby Joyce about paid parental leave applying to late-term abortions elicited “a bit of horror” from women in the party, according to Jane Hume, as Sussan Ley and senior figures rejected the claims from rightwing figures.

Ley branded as “insensitive” concerns raised by some colleagues about the potential for women to seek late-term abortions in order to access paid parental leave. The shadow minister for women, Melissa McIntosh, said: “I’ve never heard of a woman doing that.”

Hume told Sky News: “We shouldn’t be using straightforward legislation as some sort of Trojan horse for personal opinions on this. I thought it was an unnecessary distraction and perhaps a bit of an error of judgment.”

The public tit-for-tat between conservative and more moderate MPs culminated in the extraordinary situation where right-wing senator Alex Antic directly rebuked Ley by name, rejecting her criticism.

so can we take it as an indictment of the Real Men who just ask these questions in the way of speculation that they would totally impregnate themselves and then have late term abortions to access paid parental leave if they were able to

One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson’s full speech from the CPAC event at Mar-a-Lago.

Well, it’s wonderful to be in America with a re-energised, strong, and patriotic leader who has the best interests of his people at heart.

And when you think about it, in just one year President Trump has turned this country around!

Investment in the US is booming.

Your borders are secure.

Illegal migrants are being rounded up and sent home in remarkable numbers.

The scourge of drugs – especially fentanyl – is being tackled head-on, and I love how your President has green-lit the US military to blow up drug cartel boats.

Like Trump, I strongly support tariffs on countries that unfairly compete with our industries and manufacturing with grossly unfair advantages – especially when it comes to energy and wage advantages; you’ve been able to save so many of your industries and draw many others back to America as a result of that strong decision.

President Trump has restored peace in the Middle East and stood up for the people of Israel.

He’s pulled out of the outrageously destructive Paris Agreement which continues to make countries like Australia so much poorer, and he’s supercharged mining, gas, and oil projects by removing government red tape which his great slogan: Drill, baby, drill!

He’s put an ended to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion quotas and reinstated merit-based selection.

Trump is slowly but surely cleaning up the streets of America and making your country so much safer.

Recruitment numbers for police and military service have turned around, with more Americans wanting to serve their country – this doesn’t happen by accident!

And I can tell, after being here for the last week, that Americans are proud of their country again.

Australia, on the other hand, has been an economic and social tinderbox that was created by successive Labor and Coalition governments.

We have a Labor government (which is your equivalent of far-Left Democrats), led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

A Prime Minister who is seen by the majority of Australians to be putting our country on a dangerous path.

He governs our country with a measly 34.4 per cent of the vote – the second lowest winning margin in Australian history.

I hate to say it, but the Australian Labor Party will never make Australia great again despite a desperate need to turn our country around.

Under Labor’s weak governance, Australia is being flooded with up to 740,000 migrants a year.

That’s despite a housing crisis where we have more than 228,000 Australians being assisted by specialist homeless services.

And if I put that into perspective for Americans here today: Australia’s homeless rate is more than 350 per cent higher than America’s, and yet we have a government that continues to flood our country with migrants that we cannot cope with.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: you can’t blame those migrants who want to come to Australia; you can only blame the government.

And this is an Australian government that just does not care about the welfare of its own people.

And this mass immigration is not just having an impact on housing.

High migration numbers have had a brutal effect on our hospitals, health system, our roads, education standards, nursing homes, aged care facilities, and general infrastructure.

Mass immigration is one of the key reasons inflation remains higher than normal in Australia; meanwhile our national debt has crashed through the trillion-dollar mark, which means higher interest and higher taxes.

And despite the strong objection from the majority of Australian voters, politicians continue to ignore the distress that reckless immigration is having on our country; not to mention the growing number of migrants who refuse to assimilate and are incompatible with our laws, culture, and Australian way of life.

Australia is taking in the same hateful, radical migrants from countries that are having an enormous impact on the UK and so many European nations right now and we’re seeing the aftermath with frequent machete attacks, violent home invasions, and weekly pro-Palestine protests across our major cities.

Sadly, we’re starting to see some suburbs in Australia become virtual no-go zones for women who aren’t dressed in head-to-toe coverings.

No wonder Australian police have their hands full.

It didn’t happen by accident, and if you speak out about it you’re branded Islamophobic, racist, or even a Nazi.

In my case, I’ve been hauled before the Federal Court of Australia for ‘offending’ someone.

A lot of this language is coming from the United Nations.

A group that started out with the right intentions, but has been overtaken by the world’s greatest shysters, led by global elites who are stripping away Australia’s sovereignty with their own ‘one world’ agenda.

One Nation has long said we should never cede our sovereignty to these global groups like the UN, the World Health Organisation, and World Economic Forum.

Australia is a nation that produces just 1.1 per cent of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions, yet we’re driving our economy into the ground with an estimated $8 trillion spend on this unachievable dream of Net Zero.

The man-made climate change falsehood is this century’s greatest hoax, and it’s killing off trillions of dollars’ worth of investment throughout Australia.

One Nation is the only political party standing firm to end Australia’s involvement in the UN’s Paris Agreement.

Yes, we must protect our environment, but we are heading down a path that is destroying a decent standard of living, and sending many Australians into poverty and the push for renewables, and climate change will see many being controlled where they live, travel, and what they eat.

I will not allow Australia’s economy to be destroyed by unelected globalists while the UN permits China and India – which produce more than 40 per cent of the world’s carbon emissions – to get off scot-free.

China has plundered Australia’s industry and manufacturing sectors following our involvement in the 1970s’ LIMA Declaration, which has slashed our manufacturing security from 25 per cent of GDP to little more than 5 per cent today.

And no longer is China a developing nation, as they still claim to be, like they were in the 1970s.

They’re now the world’s largest manufacturer and exporter, accounting for 29 per cent of global output, and boast having the second-largest number of millionaires on the globe.

When Australian politicians sacrificed our manufacturing sector, we provided the Chinese Communist Party the financial leg-up to afford having the biggest army in the world and a navy that boasts the largest number of vessels across the globe.

It’s for this reason that One Nation has backed the trilateral security partnership between the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia – better known Aukus.

Despite President Trump’s insistence on coalition defence partners increasing military budgets, the Albanese Labor government has made brutal cost cuts across a broad range of defence areas.

And although we have a remarkable Defence Force, we cannot defend our nation alone.

That is why our Aukus arrangement is critical with the might of the US military and President Trump.

Australia must boost its defence spending to at least 5 per cent of GDP.

My American cousin, who served in the US military, told me decades ago that Americans are sick of fighting wars and losing lives for other countries. I have never forgotten his words, so Americans have a right to be frustrated when they’re constantly forced to play big brother to nations who haven’t invested in their own defence capabilities.

Australian politicians – including our current Prime Minister – have been hopeless in recognising the very real threat of conflict in our region in the short term.

We must be a nation that does all that we can to defend ourselves.

But then again, we have many Australians starting to ask what’s left to defend?

You might ask me why I say this… In Australia, roughly 60 per cent of our nation has been handed back to the indigenous Aboriginal people under what we call Native Title claims.

As a result, non-Indigenous Australians are being locked out of a growing number of regions within our country – especially landmarks, beaches, and national parks.

Many mining projects are being forced to negotiate land agreements and royalties which not only costs projects more, but creates an additional layer of bureaucracy adding years to project approvals.

There’s no end to the interference Native Title has created, despite our Parliaments dedicating roughly $40 billion every year to exclusively support barely 4 per cent of Australia’s population – which is around 980,000 people.

This has created an enormous divide within Australia which has seen sweeping name changes to some of our most iconic landmarks, such as Fraser Island off the Queensland coast.

We have these outrageous Welcome to Country formalities that were not a standard practice pre-1970s.

They’re held at sporting events, the start of our Parliament, and so many other public events.

We’re even forced to hear them every time we land at an Australian airport.

The Albanese Labor government even tried to enshrine this racial inequality in the Australian Constitution.

One Nation was at the forefront of the campaign which saw this proposal defeated, and the result gives us hope the majority of Australians – when they’re given a real voice – reject the far-Left’s agenda.

Another example of Australia’s wrong direction under the Labor government is this ridiculous ideology about gender:

the idea that there are multiple genders rather than two;
the idea that you can change your gender just by identifying differently and demanding strange pronouns;
that biological men can and should invade and occupy women-only spaces like bathrooms, online forums, and sports;
that anyone who is opposed or even questions this ideology is attacked, de-platformed, threatened, and pursued through the courts;
the insidious gender affirmation approach to children – hooking them on unapproved off-label drugs like puberty blockers, and shutting parents out of medical decisions about their own children.
The United States – along with some other countries – is showing the way forward on this issue while Australia is stubbornly refuses to intervene.

Despite clear evidence overseas that the gender affirmation approach is harmful to children, and despite the almost complete lack of clinical evidence supporting gender affirmation, Australia continues to allow children to be subjected to it.

Every time I’ve tried to start a parliamentary inquiry into this issue, the Labor government – as well as the main opposition party and the Greens – have moved to block it.

They don’t want this appalling ideology – or their own culpability – exposed to the Australian people.

Only in my home state of Queensland has the prescription of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for children been banned, pending a review of the clinical guidelines.

In all other parts of Australia, thousands of children continue to be subjected to this ideological approach.

All I want to do is protect these kids, and protect those who speak out against this ideology at risk to their safety and livelihood.

I’ve been a figure of Australian politics for 30 years.

My stance, from the very beginning, has been equality for all Australians – regardless of race, colour, sex, or creed.

We didn’t revere someone just because they had more money, success, or power.

We worshipped heroes from battlefields and sporting fields and everyday life, not attention-seekers crying about victimhood or grubby politicians seeking power for the sake of it.

We spoke our minds, and we spoke boldly and freely without concern for being cancelled – or jailed – which is what happened to me.

There’s an Australian concept we refer to as ‘a fair go’.

Australians are generous people, and many of us only want a fair go for ourselves and for everyone else.

It’s the Australian way – or at least it used to be.

But now we have an Australian government which puts the interests of terrorist states, authoritarian regimes, foreign migrants, trans activists, environmental extremists, and corrupt unions before the interests of the Australian people.

Australians no longer feel they have any real say about the crucial decisions that are making their families poorer and their country unrecognisable.

They don’t feel they’re getting a fair go.

They are looking for leadership, and they are looking for leaders who will give their country back to them.

They want do feel secure in their pride for our nation and the achievements of its people, rather than to be told they must be ashamed of it.

They want what any normal American would want: an affordable and secure home, a good education and future prospects for their kids, a safe community, and a decent job or income from a business.

They want a fair go.

And that’s what One Nation wants for all Australians.

We want equal rights for all – and special rights for none.

We want equal laws for all – and special laws for none.

We don’t want special privileges based on divisive ‘identities’; we want to celebrate the one identity all Australians share: being Australian.

We want a prosperous, fair, equal, and powerful country that puts the interests of Australians first.

We don’t want the socialist nightmare Albanese and Labor have planned for us.

We want to re-unite Australia, the land of the fair go.

These are my goals.

One Nation’s strength is growing, and I want to build on this strength so that we become a party that will form government in Australia.

Australians are responding to us in numbers: our national membership has doubled since the federal election in May this year, and our polling is at record levels.

We still have a steep hill to climb, but I will never stop fighting to make Australia great again.

God bless America, and God help Australia!

One Nation has long said we should never cede our sovereignty to these global groups like the UN, the World Health Organisation, and World Economic Forum.

Australia is a nation that produces just 1.1 per cent of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions, yet we’re driving our economy into the ground with an estimated $8 trillion spend on this unachievable dream of Net Zero.

The man-made climate change falsehood is this century’s greatest hoax, and it’s killing off trillions of dollars’ worth of investment throughout Australia.

One Nation is the only political party standing firm to end Australia’s involvement in the UN’s Paris Agreement.

Yes, we must protect our environment, but we are heading down a path that is destroying a decent standard of living, and sending many Australians into poverty and the push for renewables, and climate change will see many being controlled where they live, travel, and what they eat.

I will not allow Australia’s economy to be destroyed by unelected globalists while the UN permits China and India – which produce more than 40 per cent of the world’s carbon emissions – to get off scot-free.

China has plundered Australia’s industry and manufacturing sectors following our involvement in the 1970s’ LIMA Declaration, which has slashed our manufacturing security from 25 per cent of GDP to little more than 5 per cent today.

And no longer is China a developing nation, as they still claim to be, like they were in the 1970s.

They’re now the world’s largest manufacturer and exporter, accounting for 29 per cent of global output, and boast having the second-largest number of millionaires on the globe.

When Australian politicians sacrificed our manufacturing sector, we provided the Chinese Communist Party the financial leg-up to afford having the biggest army in the world and a navy that boasts the largest number of vessels across the globe.

It’s for this reason that One Nation has backed the trilateral security partnership between the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia – better known Aukus.

Despite President Trump’s insistence on coalition defence partners increasing military budgets, the Albanese Labor government has made brutal cost cuts across a broad range of defence areas.

And although we have a remarkable Defence Force, we cannot defend our nation alone.

That is why our Aukus arrangement is critical with the might of the US military and President Trump.

Australia must boost its defence spending to at least 5 per cent of GDP.

My American cousin, who served in the US military, told me decades ago that Americans are sick of fighting wars and losing lives for other countries. I have never forgotten his words, so Americans have a right to be frustrated when they’re constantly forced to play big brother to nations who haven’t invested in their own defence capabilities.

Australian politicians – including our current Prime Minister – have been hopeless in recognising the very real threat of conflict in our region in the short term.

We must be a nation that does all that we can to defend ourselves.

But then again, we have many Australians starting to ask what’s left to defend?

You might ask me why I say this… In Australia, roughly 60 per cent of our nation has been handed back to the indigenous Aboriginal people under what we call Native Title claims.

As a result, non-Indigenous Australians are being locked out of a growing number of regions within our country – especially landmarks, beaches, and national parks.

Many mining projects are being forced to negotiate land agreements and royalties which not only costs projects more, but creates an additional layer of bureaucracy adding years to project approvals.

There’s no end to the interference Native Title has created, despite our Parliaments dedicating roughly $40 billion every year to exclusively support barely 4 per cent of Australia’s population – which is around 980,000 people.

This has created an enormous divide within Australia which has seen sweeping name changes to some of our most iconic landmarks, such as Fraser Island off the Queensland coast.

We have these outrageous Welcome to Country formalities that were not a standard practice pre-1970s.

They’re held at sporting events, the start of our Parliament, and so many other public events.

We’re even forced to hear them every time we land at an Australian airport.

The Albanese Labor government even tried to enshrine this racial inequality in the Australian Constitution.

One Nation was at the forefront of the campaign which saw this proposal defeated, and the result gives us hope the majority of Australians – when they’re given a real voice – reject the far-Left’s agenda.

Another example of Australia’s wrong direction under the Labor government is this ridiculous ideology about gender:

the idea that there are multiple genders rather than two;
the idea that you can change your gender just by identifying differently and demanding strange pronouns;
that biological men can and should invade and occupy women-only spaces like bathrooms, online forums, and sports;
that anyone who is opposed or even questions this ideology is attacked, de-platformed, threatened, and pursued through the courts;
the insidious gender affirmation approach to children – hooking them on unapproved off-label drugs like puberty blockers, and shutting parents out of medical decisions about their own children.
The United States – along with some other countries – is showing the way forward on this issue while Australia is stubbornly refuses to intervene.

Despite clear evidence overseas that the gender affirmation approach is harmful to children, and despite the almost complete lack of clinical evidence supporting gender affirmation, Australia continues to allow children to be subjected to it.

Every time I’ve tried to start a parliamentary inquiry into this issue, the Labor government – as well as the main opposition party and the Greens – have moved to block it.

They don’t want this appalling ideology – or their own culpability – exposed to the Australian people.

Only in my home state of Queensland has the prescription of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for children been banned, pending a review of the clinical guidelines.

In all other parts of Australia, thousands of children continue to be subjected to this ideological approach.

All I want to do is protect these kids, and protect those who speak out against this ideology at risk to their safety and livelihood.

I’ve been a figure of Australian politics for 30 years.

My stance, from the very beginning, has been equality for all Australians – regardless of race, colour, sex, or creed.

We didn’t revere someone just because they had more money, success, or power.

We worshipped heroes from battlefields and sporting fields and everyday life, not attention-seekers crying about victimhood or grubby politicians seeking power for the sake of it.

We spoke our minds, and we spoke boldly and freely without concern for being cancelled – or jailed – which is what happened to me.

There’s an Australian concept we refer to as ‘a fair go’.

Australians are generous people, and many of us only want a fair go for ourselves and for everyone else.

It’s the Australian way – or at least it used to be.

But now we have an Australian government which puts the interests of terrorist states, authoritarian regimes, foreign migrants, trans activists, environmental extremists, and corrupt unions before the interests of the Australian people.

Australians no longer feel they have any real say about the crucial decisions that are making their families poorer and their country unrecognisable.

They don’t feel they’re getting a fair go.

They are looking for leadership, and they are looking for leaders who will give their country back to them.

They want do feel secure in their pride for our nation and the achievements of its people, rather than to be told they must be ashamed of it.

They want what any normal American would want: an affordable and secure home, a good education and future prospects for their kids, a safe community, and a decent job or income from a business.

They want a fair go.

And that’s what One Nation wants for all Australians.

We want equal rights for all – and special rights for none.

We want equal laws for all – and special laws for none.

We don’t want special privileges based on divisive ‘identities’; we want to celebrate the one identity all Australians share: being Australian.

We want a prosperous, fair, equal, and powerful country that puts the interests of Australians first.

We don’t want the socialist nightmare Albanese and Labor have planned for us.

We want to re-unite Australia, the land of the fair go.

These are my goals.

One Nation’s strength is growing, and I want to build on this strength so that we become a party that will form government in Australia.

Australians are responding to us in numbers: our national membership has doubled since the federal election in May this year, and our polling is at record levels.

We still have a steep hill to climb, but I will never stop fighting to make Australia great again.

God bless America, and God help Australia!

I knew she was off her nut but she’s reading a speech written for her by the MAGA people, surely.

it’s impossible for her to have invented it herself ¿ because no self respecting Australian would do that or ¿ because women can’t write speeches

People seem to have simplistic ideas of what causes complex events
Blaming immigrants for all the woes seems to be a big one.
