Media’s epic fail: why economic pain, not immigration, is the true driver of One Nation’s support
The inability of most political journalists to prioritise economic reform over social policy has given politicians a leave pass to fritter away our national prosperity, and social cohesion with it.

It's a living, albeit a pathetic one, but why bother with the bouffant one repackaging and regurgitating the lying rodent, when little Johnny himself was to hand over on the extreme far right of the rag's digital edition?

What with the lying rodent having paved the way for Gina's pet's parade of bigotry, fear and loathing about uppity, difficult furriners - a theme taken up with gusto by the lizard Oz hive mind - the little desiccated coconut could manage only a three minute attempt to defuse his very own time bomb ...
Regrettably, the Hawke government abandoned this description in favour of the limp, banal moniker of Living Together.
Fraser was right. In every way Australia had been an achievement. Oddly, though, one feature of that achievement had been an inability on occasions to recognise national successes.
Migration was a case in point. By any measure, post-World War II migration has been a resounding success. This is despite it having taken a long time to get rid of the White Australia policy – for which a Liberal, Harold Holt, deserves most credit.
Despite this, much political discussion of immigration today is beset by a pointless debate about whether we should call it monocultural or multicultural.
Most Australians regard this as quite pointless, simply because they have long favoured a steady immigration stream subject to it not imposing too great a strain on our infrastructure, especially housing. The other important constraint has been that existing citizens did not want new arrivals bringing their homegrown hatreds and enmities to this country.
I was powerfully reminded of how strongly most Australians felt on this issue by the reaction to remarks I made in my 2001 policy speech to the effect that “we will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come”.
The pond was powerfully reminded of how a cynical politician used a captain merely trying to honour the laws of the sea to feather his own nest, and set off decades of bigotry.
As much to the point, how much is this a sign of a desperate attempt by the reptiles to keep living in the past?
How much is this a sign that the reptiles have absolutely no confidence in the beefy boofhead, and so must resort to the little Bush to produce some decorative Bonsai?
As if to prove the point, the reptiles wheeled out a snap of a man who in later times and in his guilt-stricken dotage made the average Oz leftie look like a raving capitalist...Former prime minister Malcolm Fraser in his Melbourne office in April 2013.

I, frankly, do not know what monoculture means in the context of immigration. To some it apparently means a mixture of people of different ancestries bound together by a common Australian citizenship. To others it can mean an uncompromising refusal to accept any deviation from a pre-established Australian identity.
For decades the friendly expression New Australian was extended to newly arrived immigrants, whether from the United Kingdom, Italy, Greece, the Baltic countries, Vietnam or elsewhere. It was meant as a welcome and most new arrivals saw it as such. Yet it fell into disuse and even attracted some criticism when the more politically correct expression multicultural began to be used.
As is well known, I have always felt uncomfortable with the expression multicultural. In my eyes it connoted a nation of tribes, which was the very antithesis of what most saw migration as having created in Australia. It suggested conflict and differences rather than overwhelming success and co-operation.
I have little doubt that the genesis of the expression multicultural lay in a desire for political advantage. The argument advanced by the proponents of multiculturalism (of which Al Grassby and Gough Whitlam were prime movers) was that the then protocol of assimilation obliterated traces of national origin and culture. This was never the case.
My experience had been that most new Australians happily combined absorption into the Australian mainstream with affection for the country of their birth or background. They had chosen Australia because of who we were, not because of what they might have wanted us to become.
Culturally, the Australia of 1985 was different from Australia of 1955. What had remained constant were the underpinnings of our society: the fundamental equality of men and women, the Judaeo-Christian ethic, free speech, the rule of law, scorn for distinctions based on class or any concept of aristocracy, and parliamentary democracy.
Say what?

It did, however, redefine it as being Australian multiculturalism. This involved an emphasis on the unifying elements of Australian citizenship, irrespective of ethnic origin.
In my time as prime minister I often invoked the expression “the things that unite us as Australians are infinitely stronger and more enduring than those that divide us”. Better than any other expression, that encapsulated the successful assimilation or integration of millions of new arrivals into our national life.
It was a reminder that a special character of our achievement as a nation had been immigration from many parts of the world.

The hapless Pearson, always a sucker for a lizard Oz platform, ended with a question:
After the rejection of the Voice, the conversation about structural reform of the federal arrangements governing Indigenous affairs, must resume. If not a Voice, then let us ask the question Dr King asked in two years after Civil Rights and one year before his assassination: where do we go from here?
Nowhere Noel, you're in the lizard Oz, deep in the hive mind, where it's usually the voice, with the capital V and the concept driven into the wilderness, and an annotation always at hand ...
The reality is that while the referendum did not succeed, the status quo has continued and the same problems plague Indigenous communities.

Enough already, time to head back to the Major, also obsessed with Gina's pampered pet and who to blame, provided it's not the lizard Oz setting out a policy platform for her - climate science denialism (praise be to Lloydie of the Amazon and the Bjørn-again one), hatred of furriners ruining everything (where are you Dame Groan?) and bloody Islamics disrupting the social fabric (how many reptiles can you name, the Zionist Major being just for starters?)...

ABC Afternoon Briefing host Patricia Karvelas seemed puzzled when Liberal deputy leader Jane Hume criticised Labor’s planned new Fair Work Court on July 23. Hume referred to the court several times as a “brand new bureaucracy”.
Karvelas ignores how much damage Labor’s pro-union economic reforms since Tony Burke was minister for industrial relations have done to national productivity.
This newspaper on July 27 said the court would add “another layer of complexity and regulation to the nation’s convoluted IR system”.

The Australian’s workplace editor, Ewin Hannan, quoted Albanese about O’Neil and McManus: “Working families are in a stronger financial position today than they otherwise would be because of the tireless advocacy and strong leadership of Sally McManus and Michele O’Neil.”
It is untrue. What amounts to an unwinding of the IR reforms of the Hawke and Keating Labor governments has made the union movement stronger at the expense of workers.
RN was having none of that. In nine minutes and 19 seconds, Sara asked nothing about whether the re-regulation of the labour market was destroying national productivity and creating per capita GDP stagnation. She allowed O’Neil to judge her time at the ACTU by a 12 per cent increase in union membership that still sits at only 13 per cent nationally across the public and private sectors.
The Major turned to a current revanchist to help him with his revisionism ...
Kelty, in a written submission to a parliamentary inquiry on July 21, said there was something really wrong with economic management nationally when living standards were falling at a time of high commodity prices in a nation that is a major commodities exporter.
He criticised governments that “pay for quarantine centres that are never used, Commonwealth Games that are not held in the country, infrastructure costs that are the highest in the world”.
Our productivity performance was the third lowest in the OECD, investment too low, and growth per capita “non-existent”, he said.
“But our taxes are increasing, government expenditure is rising faster than prices. It does say something is wrong with this place.”
Australia was second only to Italy in having the biggest reduction in real wages since 2021, the Australian Financial Review’s Phil Coorey reported Kelty as saying.
While journalists like to portray growing support for One Nation as a moral failure based on voter racism, as Nine newspapers’ political editor Peter Hartcher has argued several times this year, Kelty’s paper points to a better explanation for the “pox on both your houses” attitude shown by One Nation’s soaring support.
They even flung in a snap of Bill ...Former ACTU secretary Bill Kelty delivered a paper to the Senate outlining how to kickstart productivity and growth. Picture: Aaron Francis
The Major was keen to establish that Pauline's success had nothing to do with racism or bigotry or furriners, even though there'd been so much bigotry on parade that it had earned its own wiki listing... Pauline Hanson burqa incidents
You know, just a standard visualisation of a typical lizard Oz column bemoaning furriners and/or Islamics...
After all, she's just reflecting the lizard Oz's anti-Islamic jihad that has been a feature of the rag for many years, with the Major a major proponent, but don't expect the Major to look in that mirror.
Little wonder he wanted to look elsewhere...
Tony Barry, a director of RedBridge Polling, said: “Pauline Hanson’s biggest political asset is that her base sees her as their anti-establishment outsider and their wrecking ball against a political model that they feel no longer works for them.”
While most One Nation support comes from the Coalition, the forgotten history of the party – discussed in this column on February 8 and April 6 – suggests Labor governments can manipulate debate about preference exchanges with Hanson to turn elections into referendums about racism.
Journalists on the left are only too happy to reflect such spin from Labor governments, as Sara did last Wednesday morning when pressing Victorian federal Liberal MP Dan Tehan on the possibility of a Coalition-One Nation preference exchange at the upcoming state election on November 28.
Tehan said Sara was simply repeating the lines of new Victorian Premier Ben Carroll, who had said the previous day that Labor was facing the Coalition and One Nation.
This is exactly the strategy former Labor premier Peter Beattie used to topple the Coalition in the June 1998 Queensland election. Expect ABC, Guardian and Nine papers journalists to run hard on the idea that the Coalition faces a moral imperative on One Nation preferences.
Will the lizard Oz also face a moral imperative?
Not likely, because they simply can't let go of their bashing of multiculturalism, with the Major proposing it was time to let the notion go, though he did the standard cunning reptile ploy of palming that trick off onto another player...
Nor was Hanson called out by journalists or Coalition politicians for her claim in a podcast with UK far right figure Tommy Robinson that multiculturalism and the end of the White Australia policy were the work of Labor’s Gough Whitlam.
Both had more to do with the Coalition in the late 1960s, and especially former minister for immigration and later prime minister Harold Holt.
Journalists have also conveniently forgotten that it was during Hanson’s first incarnation that Polish Australian intellectual Jerzy Zubrzycki, the father of Australian multiculturalism, said the term may well have passed its use-by date. He believed the policy was being misrepresented as antithetical to social integration.
Former NSW Upper House MP David Oldfield discussed One Nation’s core beliefs in a piece published in The Australian on July 23.
He suggested that without a clearer policy positioning beyond immigration and patriotism, Hanson would not win the number of federal seats suggested by the published polling.
Oldfield thought One Nation would win up to seven Senate seats and some Lower House seats federally, “but not enough to make a difference”.
Labor has other ideas and will do its best to pump up the One Nation threat, as Albanese did last week in Adelaide at the party’s national conference. It will use Victoria as a testing ground.

And for a concluding irony, the Major, offered a retirement sinecure so that he could come in from the golf course to indulge in a weekly Zionist rant, offered this as his closing gobbet ...
It’s easier for highly paid journalists in secure jobs at the national broadcaster to posture about their own values than to empathise with working class people who simply feel that Australia’s social contract with them is broken.
As The Australian’s Paul Kelly wrote last Wednesday, “Hanson is a political gift to Labor with the government now enshrining One Nation at the heart of its re-election pitch.”
That's how weird it's got, how incestuous, with the Major ending by referencing "Ned", as a way of proving he was clueless as to how to handle Gina's pet, as if it was impossible to see that bigotry and economic hardship might run together ... (and might even explain how the uneducated might be manipulated into a MAGA frenzy).
Cue a teaser trailer for "Ned" peddling the same line...
